OOC Discussion

The Old Barnaker House. Every kid has heard about it. Everybody has a different awful story about it. All of them agree it is a very bad place.

But here you are on Halloween Night, all because of that jerk Roger. He dared you and your friends to spend the night there. You couldn’t let him bully you.You will show him who is chicken! Everybody knows that there are no such things as ghosts. Everybody knows that, right?

So get your slingshot and your pocket knife. Grab some candy and ready your Rubik’s Cube. You and your friends are going to go face-to-face with the horrors of the Barnaker House.

Hopefully you will live to see the dawn.

The Barnaker House is waiting...

They could probably build some last minute escape route. Louis is a black belt in Ikean.

Just say "Shirley shoots Old Danny with her BB gun" and roll your BB gun attack (which I think is 50%). What could go wrong?

As an expert in physics, and someone who's potentially in the line of fire, Harry knows all too well what could go wrong. So...um...don't miss.

You failed the extreme POW test so you can read the second entry. That'll tell you to test Sanity and if you pass then lose 1d2 Sanity, if you fail then lose 1d6+1 Sanity.

The POW check wasn't to see if you lose Sanity...you're definitely going to lose Sanity.

I think I hadn't been allowing Luck spends so far in the game (hard to remember stuff like that over this time period!) but I think maybe I'll allow it if anyone wants given this is the denouement. Luck's no good if you're dead.

Previously said:   If you're sure you want to pass?  
Ominous.
Right, Chaps. Do we think it might be bad to pass this POW roll? I see Mr Handy is going for it - might it be wise if Louis fails his? Or shall I spend the luck so I can hit the old bat with Louis’ bat?

I think it's better. The only bad thing I could see was potentially worse Sanity loss, but since we've already lost Sanity when we made our first Sanity roll, we don't risk losing any more.

That was my only concern, but if that's off the table..... swing away.

Ball bearings are pretty small so I'll say you have as many as you need. As for insanity, I like to do that narratively rather than mechanically, through what you see and hear, so that's taken care of through the posts.

I'm at way for a couple of weeks but I'll try and keep up with some posting since we've reached a bit of a climax. Probably won't be able to have any pics or not many since I'm using my phone.

I’m away for 4/5 days cycle touring, back when the rain gets too much and hopefully before the thrilling, desperate end of Act 3.
