OOC - Chat

Somewhere to have any OOC discussions.

Sorry all, very busy with work, should get more posts up by the weekend.

[Mephistophilis]

Sorry everyone. Things still manic at work. Will get responses up in the next few days.

My internet has a limited monthly data plan, and is running on fumes. If I disappear, that's why, and I will be back Monday.

[SunlessNick]

I'm having net troubles - I won't be able to log on from home until Wednesday at the earliest. Sorry.

[Mephistophilis]

How are we finding the game is going? As a new keeper I'm always interested in feedback. Are we too slow? Too unfocused? It's supposed to be pretty freeform exploration wise but I know there's a risk of decision paralysis or a lack of useable clues.

Personally I'm not loving the d6 mechanic, a bit too abstract for me.

Anything you'd like done differently (not making any promises mind)?

[SunlessNick]

I'm enjoying the scenario. I quite the dilemmas I can feel building up for Florence. It's the first time I've played a character with children.

I'm not enjoying the Dark system, I admit, but that's outweighed by the scenario.

[Mr. Handy]

I'm enjoying it too. The system in Cthulhu Dark is very simple. I've played it before several times, and while I prefer Call of Cthulhu, Cthulhu Dark is nice in that it's easy to learn and doesn't get in the way of the story. Of course, it's pretty much impossible to have a campaign in Cthulhu Dark in the traditional sense, as characters that survive a scenario are in poor condition to enter another. The pace is about right for me, and while there aren't many clues we can use, we have plenty of places to explore.

[Mephistophilis]

Cool - we'll press on then...I'm sure it's all going to work out for the best.

[Mephistophilis]

Super busy until after the weekend - posting with be infrequent at best.

[SunlessNick]

I'm going to be away Thursday and Friday - a funeral. I think I'll be able to post normally after that. Sorry.

[Mephistophilis]

No problem, as an FYI I'm going to be away for next week and then the week after. So I'll be posting less frequently.

[Mephistophilis]

TheWayEternal has asked to join.

Any objections? I think we can easily cater for another character and the Cthulhu Dark rules should make a fairly gentle introduction to PbP.

[Mephistophilis]

I'm going to offer them a place - we need new blood and games for newbies.

[SunlessNick]

Ace! Welcome boar TWE.

[Mr. Handy]

Welcome, TheWayEternal! The more, the merrier.

[Mephistophilis]

Not heard any more from TheWayEternal.

[Mephistophilis]

Sorry guys, being a bit slow, snowed under with work and away the end of this week. Hopefully return to a bit more regular posting next week or so.

[Mephistophilis]

Sorry, working/on-call this holiday weekend but off next week so hope to catch up then.

[Mephistophilis]

Hi all, things kicking off at work (and at home unfortunately) with, I dunno, the fourth wave of COVID now. Will endeavour to post but could well be delayed.
