OOC-Chapter 2-The Quick and the Undead-General Discussion

[Mr. Handy]

This is the thread where we'll post anything that's completely Out Of Character, whether it's game-related questions that can be asked in public or simply out-of-game chatting. Anything that involves your characters' secrets or any information that you'd rather not share with everyone can be sent to me in a PM, or better still in a spoiler button in your post with your character's name. You may only read spoiler buttons with characters' names if you are playing at least one of those characters. You can also include OOC comments or questions in your In Character posts - just use the spoiler or spoiler-button tags. You'll see how to do it in the instructions in the Rules and Guidelines thread in the main forum or when you see me use it in the IC threads. You would do this if you want to say or ask something about what's going on in that particular thread.

Remember that if you're playing in this game, you are only allowed to read the threads that have your characters in them. The title of each IC post will indicate which characters are involved, and the Current Location thread also will have this information along with a thread history (complete with hyperlinks to the exact post where each character enters each thread), but you can ask here if you're uncertain which thread you're supposed to be in. When characters move between threads, I'll indicate which new threads they go to and post links in their old threads that you can follow.

Right now, this is the only thread I've had time to create, but I hope to add more over the next couple of days. I'll want to transfer the character sheets over from Chapter 1, and then add the sheets for the new characters.

[Dave Syrinx]

Looking forward to this.

[Raiko]

I'll try to catch up on my surviving characters stories over the next day or two.

Looking forward to joining in again. I did find running three characters in a single game tricky, so I'll stick with Lynne and Bud for now if that's okay? Or perhaps those plus a chapter two new survivor.

[Mr. Handy]

Welcome back, both of you, and thank you! I'm looking forward to running this again. Running two characters is fine, though you'd be welcome to pick up one of the new characters. Tonight and tomorrow I plan to post the new characters and put out an invitation for new players to join, though I'll wait a week or two before actually starting. During that time, I should be able to get the initial posts in various IC threads made. I would like to give new players priority on the new Chapter 2 characters, as they won't require any knowledge of Chapter 1, but I intend to open them up to returning players after new players have had about a week to choose.

[Silver Priest]

I'm looking forward as well. I'm in a CoC discord, assuming I get permission, I'll post a link to your recruitment thread once you make it, hopefully you can nab a few players that way.

[Mr. Handy]

Thanks, that'll be great! I didn't have time to put up any of the new character sheets tonight, but I should have more time tomorrow.

[Starspawn338]

I was just wondering when the zombie apocalypse would be continuing. See you all in game soon.

[Mr. Handy]

Thank you! It's good to see the players from Chapter 1 eager to return.

[aine]

Oh my, into the breach again. I’m happy with four characters; from what I remember of Mr Handy’s parting words in the Spring, it’s unlikely they’ll be surviving for very long...
Looking forward to it, Mr H!

[Mr. Handy]

Thanks, great to hear! So far everyone who was there at the end of Chapter 1 except Leonulf and dustakr has checked in; they haven't logged in since the middle of May. Hopefully they'll return, but we have enough players to keep going even if they don't and nobody new comes aboard. Still, the more players, the merrier!

[Mr. Handy]

I've only managed to write up about a third of the new characters' sheets today, and I won't have time until the weekend to get the rest done. Fortunately, I'm also off next Monday and Tuesday, so I should have enough time to finish them and make the announcement. I'm looking to get the whole thing going by October 10-12.

[Mr. Handy]

Unfortunately, I wasn't able to finish the character sheets in the last few days, but I've cleared my decks and should be able to get it done October 10-12. Then I can allow another week or so to recruit new players before getting started.

[Dave Syrinx]

Sweet!

[Mr. Handy]

Unfortunately, I couldn't find enough time to finish the character sheets yet.

[Silver Priest]

No worries.

[aine]

No problem; happy to wait.

[Raiko]

No worries, I've not had chance to catch up with what happened since I dropped out yet.

[Mr. Handy]

Thanks, everyone. I'll try to get it done this weekend if I can.

[Mr. Handy]

Chapter 2 is happening!

It'll be a couple of weeks before we can get properly started, but the Chapter 2 characters have been posted. There are 36 of them, and all but a few of them are playable. However, I'd like to give new players first crack at them for a week, as they don't require catching up to play. After that, they'll be up for grabs to existing players. I'll go post a recruitment thread next.

I realize it's been a while, so existing players who want to keep playing, please check in by posting in this thread.

[Silver Priest]

I'll be back, as will my 4 characters (though I suspect that will be dropping to 3 shortly)

I'll try to link it to some people who may be interested to your recruitment thread.
