The following thread is for players and the Keeper to reference during the game. The post below (when it is added) contains the character sheets. Characters' current Sanity and HP totals are also shown.
In a separate thread I will post a list of each character's current location (divided by group), and then a list of every character's current weapons, ammo, armor, and skills that have been successfully used so far this chapter. A character that survives to the end of the chapter will get to make skill experience checks against those skills as per the standard Call of Cthulhu rules. I'll explain how that's done when we reach that point.
This thread will be locked, but as Keeper I will keep it updated to reflect the current situation. If players have comments or questions, you can use the Character Selection and Discussion thread (to be posted soon).
The group of characters is currently at the T-Bone Garage and Café truck stop in southwest Nebraska. The truck stop is not much. A few gas pumps, a few garages, spaces for trucks to stop for the night, a bathroom and shower for men and women, a number of telephones to call loved ones, a convenience store. The T-Bone café serves basic diner fare. Nothing special but it is hearty cooking and filling.
Behind the T-Bone is a junkyard of vehicles left stranded along the highway. Next door is Mr. and Mrs. Foo’s Motel 8 with nearly 40 rooms, of which no more than 10 are ever fully occupied.
Neither the truck stop nor the motel get much attention. Both are on the side of the highway, on an off ramp that leads to a road that leads only to two places- the compound of the Prairie Militia Society (a small compound of a skinhead neo-Nazi group), some ranches, and that’s about it. There are also the old missile bases, but the nearest one is quite a distance away. Most folks pass it by on the way to Kimball. It lies between Brownson and Potter, two small towns between Sidney and Kimball.
The most recent excitement was the helicopter that came down near the truck stop. The helicopter suddenly lost fuel in mid-air and had to land to do repairs. Otherwise most of the guests are people who spent the night in the Motel 8 and are coming in for breakfast, or those who slept out and are stopping by for gas or food. They have been watching the news which suggests something very strange is happening across the planet.
Does this have anything to do with that meteor shower last night?

Boss Hammond runs the truck stop. He’s a money grubbing tyrant who doesn’t pay well and who squeezes his patrons when he can, and isn’t above a bit of criminal work, or so it has been rumored.

Rita is Boss Hammond’s eyes and takes care of the receipts for both the café and the garage. She will work the front of the café while her husband Hammond, works the kitchen and her brother, Earl, works the garage. She is the link that holds the partnership together but doesn’t much care for either man. But she expects to outlive them both.

Ms. Foo is an old dotty Chinese woman who is very much in love with her husband and does most of the regular work at the Motel 8. That said, she’s becoming forgetful with age and is also growing deaf.

The enigmatic Mr. Foo does not talk very much to anyone except his wife. Employees of the truck stop will often seem him exercising near the hotel, running laps around, and it is well known that he keeps a room to himself. Nor do people really understand the large radar dish atop the Motel 8. This has not stopped the local staff from wondering what his past was, but so far Mr. Foo has kept it to himself.
“Shhh…. Be quiet. Do not speak. Chinese saying, ‘A wise man is not the man who knows that he knows what he knows, but the one who knows that he does not know, what he does not know…Or something…I can’t quite remember.”

Cathy’s been having a bit too much fun with the Valium and the anti-depressants lately. The main reason is that she knows her husband is fooling around. She is plotting a divorce and maybe restarting her career in medicine. Can she go back to being a doctor?

Bobby is a video junkie of awful movies. He fashions himself a martial artist, a music manager, a connoisseur of film (he isn’t). He is something of an expert on bad horror and marital arts films. He is gruff, imposing and generally an annoying little s***.

Jim ran away from a foster house and has been heading cross country, hitching rides where he can on the way to Chicago. He has stopped at the Truck stop, where he has been able to take advantage of the lax controls around the showers and grab some food from the back. He’s hiding out in one of the junked cars and has already befriended both dogs. Some of the staff probably know he’s there (the two mechanics do), so perhaps it's time to move on. Still, those strange meteors last night. What a light show.

The enigmatic Mr. Foo does not talk very much to anyone except his wife. Employees of the truck stop will often seem him exercising near the hotel, running laps around, and it is well known that he keeps a room to himself. Nor do people really understand the large radar dish atop the Motel 8. This has not stopped the local staff from wondering what his past was, but so far Mr. Foo has kept it to himself.
