Thinking about when players are likely to post, whereabouts in the world do you live? I’m in the UK so will be online from around 8.00 until 12.00 GMT.

[HoneyDog]

I can post anytime that I have time and when I'm awake. I'm usually awake, but lately I don't have so much time. But I can probably post every day. I'm 8 or 9 hours after the UK.

[Philulhu]

Ok, thanks Honeydog.

[Mr. Handy]

I'm in the Eastern U.S. time zone, which is usually five hours earlier than the UK, though until Daylight Savings Time ends in early November I think it's only four. During the week I can usually only get online at night, unless I'm off from work, from around 9:00 PM to 1:00 AM my time (so 1 or 2 AM to 5 or 6 AM in the UK). On weekends I can sometimes get online periodically throughout the day.

[Philulhu]

Thanks, Mr Handy.

[Mallard]

Hello - I’m uk hours too. Currently on holiday until Monday, so won’t be able to do much until then.

[Philulhu]

Hi Mallard, that’s fine. We’ll try and get character generation sorted out in the next week then we can make a start.

Have you played Call of Cthulhu before?

[Mallard]

Yes - Very familiar with CoC. Looking forward to getting started! I hope to have my character submitted on Monday as I get home in the morning and don’t have work.

[Philulhu]

That’s fine. I should be seeing Peper757 tomorrow so I’ll chase him up for his character.

I’m off next week, albeit helping my parents move house, so we should be able to make a start then.

[Philulhu]

Hi all,

We have two completed characters and I spoke to Peper757 last night and he just needs to complete his character description and he’ll be ready. Bullfrog has also asked to join so I’ve asked him to prep a character. Mallard - how are you getting on with your character?

I’m helping my folks move this week so, subject to everyone being ready, I think we should be ready to start next weekend.

Hi everybody, it's my first time playing. I'll be posting in UK hours too.

[Philulhu]

Hi everybody, it's my first time playing. I'll be posting in UK hours too.

In the interests of transparency, Peper757 is my eldest lad, but don’t worry, I’ll have the same cavalier interest in his hit points/sanity as everyone else’s...

[HoneyDog]

Welcome, young peper757. I hope you haven't been forced to play as some kind of terrible punishment.

[peper757]

No, don't worry. I haven't done too much roleplaying before in the past but I'm looking forward to playing this.

[Bullfrog]

So, about when is the game going to start?

[Philulhu]

We are underway, but please read this before you start posting.

In terms of formatting:

Investigator’s names (others & your own) should be in bold
Speech in coloured text (try to choose a different colour for your investigator)
Thoughts in green, italic text.

If you want to attempt a dice roll, I’m happy for you to do so as that should speed up play. Please explain what you are trying to do and show your roll using the OOC button (see https://www.callofcthulhu.org.uk/pbp/vi ... 318&t=5318 for more info). Be aware that a successful roll does not automatically mean that you have succeeded in what you are attempting to do, as the outcome could be affected by initiative, NPC’s actions, etc.

Record a successful roll with an asterisk on your character sheet. At the end of the investigation, you can roll to see if that skill has advanced.

Any questions, please ask.

If you received an update for the Nosey Neighbour thread and wondering where it went, I moved it back to the Miss Livingstone... thread. I thought you were separating again but then realised Bernie planned to hang around after you had spoken to the neighbour, not before.

[Philulhu]

Hi everyone, I’m going to have to take a break from the game for a little while. My dad is seriously ill and I need to focus on him in the coming days.

Sorry for the delay and I’ll pick the game up again when I can.

Regards,

Phil.

Hi Phil

As per my message in The Burnt Man, don't worry, take your time.
