Chatting at the Bar
Hi everyone,
this is the thread for any out of context chat, discussion about the game, obituaries, etc.
You’ve been invited by the noted psychical researcher, Harry Price, to undertake an investigation into the unusual aspects of a murder in a Highland village in Scotland. Without giving too much away. You will assemble in London before travelling to Scotland, where you may undertake your investigation.
I know some of you have already found The Dhole’s House website for character generation (we also have one player using a Coptic priest from an earlier investigation). I don’t intend to be prescriptive about the characters you play. If you can think of a reason why they’re in London and why they responded to an adventure north of the border then it’s all good. Just send me a copy via Discord chat when it’s done.
I will add a Characters thread. You can transfer your skills over if you like, but it isn’t compulsory. What I’d like to see there is a brief description of your investigators and a character photo.
Any questions or queries, just ask. As soon as your characters are ready, we’ll make a start

Hey! I'm thinking either an asylum attendant, forensic surgeon, scientific researcher, or undertaker... forensic surgeon seems to fit best but I'll think on it for a bit

Re: Chatting at the Bar
It didn’t seem to like the fact it was a Google image but I saved it as one of mine and that worked.
Re: Chatting at the Bar
what can we know about the murdered man?
Re: Chatting at the Bar
I'll be joining too, and I have a character idea, but not enough time tonight. I should be able to build my character over the weekend.

Re: Chatting at the Bar
Just to see if understood correctly. This Harry Price is asking to go to the scottish village ourselves, without the presence of any of the institute he represents, to prove that there is no ghost on that house? Or is he asking us to interfere in a police investigation and find the scottish murderer? Because if he is asking us the second I have made the wrong character.

Re: Chatting at the Bar
The first one. They use volunteers who have no connection with the university college so their findings are independent.
And it isn’t to disprove it, per se. It’s to investigate and report on what they found.

Re: Chatting at the Bar
Managed to get into the Dholes House today, was pretty cool when accessible. I have created Hugo completely, just let me know when and where to put the sheet.
Hugo is an "outdoorsman", by the by.

Also, hello players I haven't met before! I'm Snapper, looking forward to the game.

Re: Chatting at the Bar
Are you on the Discord group? You could PM me there.
Alternatively, you could post the details here, as we’ve done for other games.

Re: Chatting at the Bar
I've uploaded the pdf that the Dholes House created but might upload the character in normal fashion too. Not overly familiar with Discord but I probably should learn.

Re: Chatting at the Bar
How do you download your characters completed stats sheet from Dholes House? Or is it easier to physically write it out and attach photo?

Re: Chatting at the Bar
Snapper - Whatever works for you and you can access it, then that’s fine with me
BoyBlunder78 - There should be an option to download it from the Dhole’s House and you can send it my via Discord or edit your character post and upload it there.
We’re waiting for Mr Handy’s stats but it won’t hurt to make a start.
Just a note about the usual posting format here. The name of an investigator is usually in bold and use coloured text for speech i.e. “”Do you have any questions?” asked Price. If you tap. The colour icon above (the teardrop shape) you’ll see the colours fall into roughly five ‘blocks’ - my tip would be to choose a colour on one of the corners as they’re easy to find
If you want to add any spoiler text or out of context chat, please use the spoiler button:
For clarity, this investigation may include body horror, occultism, impenetrable accents and occasional light relief. If you have any concerns about the content please let me know.
We have players from around the world and I will try to make sure everyone has had time to contribute before moving on but I will also try to keep the game ticking over. If you’re struggling to find time to post or you’re going to be away, just drop me a line.
Finally, it’s possible that you may decide for whatever reason that this game isn’t for you. It happens so if you decide that you’d rather not continue, that’s fine but please just let me know.
Ok. On with the show…
