Here we go then!

Glad you're feeling better.

Are we on another nail biting cliff hanger?

Post by **evil_scientist** » Tue Feb 12, 2019 7:53 pm

Yes, we are! Sorry, it's my fault. To be continued soon. Thank you for your patience!

Let's see how this develops...

Once again, terribly sorry for dragging this out!

Mr. Handy wrote:" We could also just tell them she's been brainwashed, which is the truth. I mean, Patty Hearst's kidnapping wasn't that long ago. There's enough underhanded stuff going on there that we can make a good case. Of course, that defense didn't go over so well at her trial, but Liz doesn't have to be defended against criminal charges."

Great 70s reference!

New chapter and post coming soon!

Thanks! I was reminded of it because I had been watching Network recently, which had referenced it.

Sorry, I'm off cycle touring from Wednesday to Saturday in a small tent in mid Wales so won't be able to post.

Can't wait for aine to get back so we can resume the scenario

Post by **aine** » Mon Apr 22, 2019 5:41 pm

I'm back!

Post by **evil_scientist** » Mon Apr 22, 2019 7:15 pm

Welcome back, hope you had a good time cycling!

I think this brings On the Precipice to a conclusion!

Dear Mr. Handy and aine, thank you so much for playing! And, of course, thanks to Cotton and HelplessBystander for their participation in a big part of the scenario.

Personally, I really enjoyed this run. Great players with great characters! I think we managed to evoke the strange, cultish, paranoid 1970s atmosphere.

If you wish, we can play out an epilogue, or summarize anything in particular you want to follow up on.

Also! I planned this initially as a one-shot. But. If you are interested in continuing the adventures of Nat and Julie - I'm down too! Of course, Julie will need treatment first, to recover from the shock...

You're welcome, and thank you for running the game! I enjoyed it too. I wouldn't mind playing out an epilogue, and I'd be interested in continuing our adventures, perhaps with more players. Maybe Elizabeth could have a player too in the next adventure.

Post by **evil_scientist** » Wed May 01, 2019 10:00 am

Yes, I want to recruit one or two additional players, either as new characters, or, indeed, as Elizabeth!

Question:
For the next game, I'm considering a slightly modified scenario from The Stars Are Right! Have you read, played or run anything from this particular collection?

Post by **Mr. Handy** » Thu May 02, 2019 4:43 am

As far as I know, I haven't.

Post by **aine** » Thu May 02, 2019 6:48 pm

Thank you for a chilling, thrilling game, Evil Scientist! The ending felt like the start of an old X Files episode. Can I read through what Julie saw at the compound and in her dreams or will that spoil the future? I've really enjoyed playing Nat and would love to do some more; maybe once he's picked Julie and Liz up from Rehab and got himself some decent wheels.
I haven't played any of those scenarios either so count me in!

Hooray! I think the ending also felt like the ending of many X-Files episodes: the Investigators reach a partial success (like rescuing a victim), but when they go back to the place, they find that the main perpetrator got away, and THEY WILL NEVER BE ABLE TO LEARN THE TRUTH!

aine wrote:Can I read through what Julie saw at the compound and in her dreams or will that spoil the future?

If Julie shares these experiences with Nat, then yes

So it's up to Mr. Handy to decide.

Cool! I will make a recruitment post later.

Post by **Mr. Handy** » Sat May 04, 2019 5:41 am

Yes, I'll share what I observed. May I also read the other portions that I didn't see?

Post by **evil_scientist** » Sat May 04, 2019 5:43 am

Yes, go ahead! Full disclosure among the Investigators!

I'm writing this from the airport, I'm going abroad for a week!
