Welcome back, dustakr! I did receive your PM. I'm hoping to get Chapter 2 rolling in May. The other game I'm running, The Horror in the Blackout, is nearing its conclusion, so it might not be a good time to join, but after it wraps up I plan to start the sixth game in my Doctor Who/Call of Cthulhu campaign, which will be set in Renaissance France. You could play someone from that time, and I'm also looking for a replacement player for one of the Time Lord's companions.

Checking in and sees that there´s a notification alert. Nice!
Do we have a dice option in the works?

I tried the Dholes House dice roller:

The link gets you to the result. Looks promising. Or do you guys have another option going?
Cheers!

:D OOh! We do have dice! Lots of things changing in here!
But....hmmm. It´s not integrated in the post system, right?
I have to exit my post or open a new tab. Copy the result and paste it in the post.

Result
[23] = 23
1d100: [ 23 ] = 23

So, I still ask: whtat´s the plan for dice?
Over and out for now.

Welcome back, Dave! When you roll the dice, there's an action with the roll where you can place it inline in your post, which I think is better. There's a thread here where we test and discuss the new dice roller. I intend to use it myself (I'm already doing so in my other game and in the games in which I play). Players are free to use it or to use alternative dice rollers, or even to roll physical dice and put the results in their posts.

Here's an example of an inline roll:
d%
Here's the code:

Code: Select all

[roll=39]d%[/roll]
It's the weekend now, though I'm still probably going to be too busy to get more of Chapter 2 started. However, next weekend is a three day weekend for me, so I'm hoping I get things moving then.

OK, I found the tab! Under the post. (Where added files and polls etc are located.) I was stuck at the buttons above the actual post box!!

I'm starting to get more Chapter 2 threads going, so keep an eye out for new threads appearing. I should be able to get a little more started tonight, but not everything. I may have time tomorrow as well, but there's no guarantee. Next weekend I won't have as much time, but I'm on vacation from July 3-11, so I hope to get the rest going by then, as well as get the next adventure in my Doctor Who/Call of Cthulhu campaign started. I really don't want to enter into George R. R. Martin territory keeping everyone waiting for the next installment.

No rush on the threads Mr.H! I hope we'll be able to recruit some new blood as well, though my attempts seem to have proven unsuccessful. And is the forum still closed to new registrants?

Yes, I'd also like to recruit some new players. I don't want to have to run dozens of new characters in addition to all the surviving NPCs from Chapter 1. I intend to update the recruitment thread in Existing Games Looking for Players soon in the hopes of getting some new ones. New players can register now, they just have to be manually activated.

Hi there team!

We're in semi-lockdown at the moment so now seems an excellent time to join a new game, and this looks fun.

Mr H, can I pick Sgt Black, Trooper Brenner, and Capt Johanssen? Hopefully, I've got this right and they are available.

Cheers,

Snapper

Welcome! All the Chapter 2 characters were available, and now those three are yours! I'll PM you their secrets once I can locate them again. I had them saved to the hard drive of my old computer, but when the monitor died and I couldn't get it to work with other monitors, I got a new computer. Welsh sent them to me a long time ago, so I'll have to go through my archives to find them.

I've finally gotten one of the new sections for Chapter 2 up and running. Everyone in the helicopter and at the airfield may now post in the new threads when ready. The good news is that since this section is far removed from the main part of the game, I can keep it going independently even if there are further delays in getting the rest going, but I may be able to get it all started this weekend.

Snapper, Trooper Rick Brenner is in one of the new threads (The Hangar), so you can get started when you have time. Aine, you're playing Dr. Hausmann in Wild Blue Yonder. Dave is playing Bob Larkin in the same thread. The other characters are NPCs for now.

And I now have another new section started, set at Warren AFB. Snapper, you are playing Captain Nils Johansen, in the thread Quarantine. Dave is playing David the truck driver, and Silver Priest is playing Tisha. Both are in the thread Sanctuary. Like the other section, this one is separated from the truck stop in time and space and can run independently. I won't get to the main section, which will include a huge thread with many characters, tonight, but hopefully I'll get it done over the weekend.

All of the new Chapter 2 threads are now up and running. If you have characters in those threads, you may post in them when you have time.

I've updated all the threads at last! Welcome aboard, Snapper! Please don't forget that you're also playing Sergeant Sam Black.
