Cozy chat

[HoneyDog]

Welcome everybody!

We'll discuss OOC matters here. We can start when everyone feels ready. We might have a new player so that could influence the starting time.

I'm not sure how long this game will take - it could actually reach the conclusion quite quickly (relatively speaking), depending on choices and rolls. There are a number of NPC characters, so I recommend taking notes of who you meet.

[HoneyDog]

Oh, by the way, the events will transpire in October, two months after the Forby affair.

[HoneyDog]

Snapper will be joining the game, so we have six players.

[Snapper]

Hi everyone!

I'm Snapper, I'm a very old CoC player but still fairly new to this whole playing online using an internet forum thing. I'm already playing in a few other games with several of you and looking forward to this one! And thank you GM Honeydog for inviting me to join!

I'll crack on and create a character tomorrow so I'm not holding you all up.

Cheers,

Snapper

Let me know if you're happy with the direction my PC is heading. I'm happy to reassess. Otherwise, I'll get the skills done tomorrow

[HoneyDog]

Looks fine!

What brought him to the Seekers of Enlightenment? Was it meeting some Inuit spirit monster which wiped out his command?

Snapper, welcome to the Seekers of Enlightenment. I’m sure we are very glad to have a naval captain aboard. I hope he fares better than our last military gentleman. Actually, come to think of it, the last two military gentlemen but then they were in the army and the Royal Navy is far superior of course.

[Snapper]

Aye, ye have the right of it! The Royal Navy is, after all, the Senior Service. Capt Crozier will be most pleased to be of assistance.

[HoneyDog]

But what is his interest in the spiritual? Why would he join a group like the Seekers of Enlightenment? Is he skeptical, or is he a believer?

[Snapper]

OK, first test!

Well, Crozier has spent virtually his whole life as a sailor. Sailors are notoriously superstitious. So I will say that Crozier is without question superstitious. Now that success and wealth have provided him with some free time, he is taking that time to explore and investigate rumours of the uncanny and evidence of the "hidden world".

Having said that, I don't know very much about the Seekers group yet so I hope that fits in with the group's interests?

[HoneyDog]

That sounds perfect. But you know what they say about curiousity…

We’ll begin tomorrow.

”I beg your pardon!” harrumphed the late, unlamented (and not to mention insane) Captain Aubrey FitzWilliam. “Senior service, my posterior! Gadding about on a glorified dinghy, leaving the actual fighting to us chaps who get our boots dirty! Pah!”

I'll try to upload images, but I keep getting the message the the board attachment limit has been reached, so apologies if the posts will look a little plain.

[Mr. Handy]

You can still upload images to a website and then use the Img tags to embed them into your posts.

[HoneyDog]

Thanks! I'll see what I can do.

[Philulhu]

This one works for me: https://postimages.org/

I've been using imgur.com for images.
Create a post named after your game or the current chapter, and just keep adding images to that post.

Each image has a "get share links" button that includes a bbcode option which can then be pasted straight into a post on here.

The post / image isn't published to the social media part of imgur unless you press the "public" button.

I've been using imgur for about 5 years for forum image posting and all my images are still stored there and still work in the forum posts.

[HoneyDog]

Thanks guys! I'll do some experimenting.

[Raiko]

I'll wait until Mr. Handy has posted for Alexander before making a first Melody post. I'll check back first thing in the morning.
