Happy to move on.

[Mr. Handy]

The other thread's still going, so I won't be merging them just yet. Feel free to keep conversing if you like.

Hi everyone, I believe I'm sliding into Jean Luc's shoes so please be gentle. Didn't realise this was a Dr Who adventure.....even more excited now

[Mr. Handy]

Welcome, BoyBlunder78! Enjoy!

[Snapper]

Welcome to another one!

[Philulhu]

Welcome!

[BoyBlunder78]

Nearly caught up.....be with you soon.....

[StarSpawn]

And I have had some life-related troubles that kept everything non-essential out of my attention.
However, I am returning to this now. Will post today/tonight.

Sorry for the delay.

[Mr. Handy]

Welcome back! I plan to update over the weekend, so you have a little time.

This week I got the Deluxe Edition of The Road to Innsmouth. It's a virtual online escape experience set in the world of Arkham Horror. The regular edition is virtual only and costs $30, and you can only play through it once. The deluxe edition normally costs $40, but Miniature Market listed it for $32, and I got a 20% discount on top of that, so it really cost me a little over $25. It contains physical versions of some of the objects you'll find in the game (though you can also view virtual versions of them), and it allows you to play an unlimited number of times. It's also playable with a team of up to four players, though each will need a separate computer. The box lists 120 minutes as the play time, but the website says the average is about 3.5 hours. You don't have to play it all in one sitting. You can stop any time and pick up at exactly the same place.

[BoyBlunder78]

Ooh, sounds dun. I'll have to check it out.

[StarSpawn]

The escape room thing sounds very interesting. Would love to try it out...

[Mr. Handy]

I had a feeling you would. I haven't played it myself yet. I wanted to finish my game of Civilization VI first, and I just did that tonight. I could still play it again with others even if I had already played it, but I'll hold off until you have time to play it with me (maybe this weekend?) The way it works is that I enter my code on their web page and select the option to start a multiplayer game, and I'll be given a URL to share with you and up to two other players. We can use Discord to share the URL and to communicate during the game. Since only I have the physical objects, other players would have to go into settings and view the virtual objects when we find them in the game.

I don't have time to update tonight, but I hope to be able to do so at some point this week.

Mr H, just checking - is other stuff going on that's slowing down the thread Jacques is in? I think I've posted 4 Jacques actions in the last 2 months.

[Mr. Handy]

No, I'm not waiting for someone in another thread. The only one who hasn't posted is Brook's player, and he hasn't posted in months. I'd post if I had time, but I was too groggy from anesthesia on Wednesday night, and I was too busy during the weekend to have time to update. I won't have time tonight either. I'll try to post in the next couple days, but it may have to wait until the weekend. It's a complicated update.

[Snapper]

No worries, it's all good.

I think Elizabeth is frozen in mid flight, mid air….

[Mr. Handy]

The strange phenomenon that caused the space-time continuum to freeze has now ended, and the normal flow of time has resumed. Please post when you are able.

[BoyBlunder78]

Sorry, couldn't help myself.....

[Philulhu]

I did kinda feed you the line
