The Zero Room - OOC Chat Thread

1517, Auvergne, France: The Duc d'Auvergne is hosting an elaborate gathering culminating in a masquerade ball in his palace in Vyones, to which he has invited quite a few notable people. Travelers from throughout Europe and North Africa are in attendance to see and be seen. But there are some strange unseen things lurking behind the scenes that may put everyone in danger. Can Story, Elizabeth, Brook, and others attending the party unravel the mysteries and prevent madness from reigning supreme?

This is Classic Doctor Who meets Call of Cthulhu, the sixth of a series of connected adventures set in different eras and locations that includes The Terror Out of Time, The Ninth Planet, The Shadow Over Dunwich, The Brotherhood of Death, and The Horror in the Blackout.

I'm not the only who thinks having Leonardo da Vinci on Doctor Who in the Renaissance is a great idea. The article does point out that the Fourth Doctor did actually meet him (in City of Death, my favorite story).

I've found some new players who will hopefully be joining us soon, taking over the abandoned characters. Since we're at an important decision point in terms of who's going where, I'd like to pause here to give them a chance to make that decision themselves rather than decide for them.

Hello everyone I will most likely be taking over Brooke, from the bit of reading on things that I have done thus far, she seems the most interesting to me. I have little experience with the system but I have read and played dozens of ttrpgs so I am sure I will be able to pick it up quickly.

Welcome aboard! Brook has done some cool things (check out the beginning of Episode 3 of The Horror in the Blackout here for example if you have time). I'll help ease you into the game.

Well, I am NOT Umbral Dragon... I am, if fact, StarSpawn! 🐙

I am a LONG time Dr. Who fan and a LONG time Cthulhu fan.
And am, therefore, quite excited to partake in this ongoing story as the newly incarnated Story!

I have quite a lot of reading to do to catch up to the action, so please be patient whilst I get up to speed. :ugeek:
Will try to post as soon as I get a handle on what is going on in the 16th century.

Welcome, StarSpawn! Umbral Dragon never logged in or posted for weeks. The character of Jean Luc de Monet is still available if Umbral Dragon returns again, but until then (or another new player joins), I'll run him as an NPC.

When both of the new players have caught up on the current adventure so far, you may post in Mysteries when you're ready. Once I know which way everyone is going, I'll split the thread and resume the game. Reading the previous adventures can be done at your leisure.

Hail Starspawn!

Just to say that if you fancy adventure and derring-do, you might want to go with Gui, whereas if you want to experience halitosis, boring lectures and an unnatural fondness for animals, Jacques’ your man… 😉

LAUGH

Time for me to misquote Blackadder:

They do say, L'Argot, that verbal insults hurt more than physical pain. They are, of course, wrong, as you will soon discover when I stick this ornate longsword into your head.
