Question - how do I roll dice in the thread? It's the first time I've had to do so on this forum and the BB Code from the Orientation Centre thread doesn't seem to be working for me...

[Mr. Handy]

I think the dice roller has been changed since then. This thread has more current instructions.

[jp1885]

Right at the top of the website is a dice button (next to faq). Click that and type 1d100 in the Roll Notation field (you can also type the skill first, for example “Observation 60 1d100”

Then press “Roll the Dice”. You can copy and paste the result in your post

[Trivun]

Got it, thank you!

[Snapper]

Skipper has failed virtually every roll he's made so far. Clearly, the River Gods hate him.

[jp1885]

Your time will come I’m sure!

I'm ready for the next scene whenever everyone else is Also I know a bit about the unsociable hours that police have to keep, my brother is a police officer and he's missed so many social and family events because of his shift patterns. Including having to work Christmas Day the Christmas before last (he still made it home in time for Christmas dinner though, plus the overtime pay was even higher because of what day it was).

[jp1885]

I’ve been on-call at Christmas before now, but never had to work it yet, luckily!

I hope you’re all enjoying the game so far. I’m still finding my way around the rules, so apologies if I get anything wrong (for example, Izzy should have already had a bonus die to cast her Lux spell, as she has mastered it).

Any feedback greatly appreciated!

I’ve written two case files for the game so far, and am about to start on a third, so plenty to keep us going!

I’m also GMing a campaign online with some players from my local rpg group and the Rivers of London rpg facebook page, so you’d have thought I’d get the hang of the rules by now!

[Philulhu]

I’ve been GMing for many years and I still regularly have to check the rulebook!

[Snapper]

Can the PCs compare notes etc as they walk back? Opportunity for a bit of sharing of clues, extreme role-playing etc.

[jp1885]

Oh yes, definitely.

I’m in a generous mood today. Please can everyone make an improvement roll on their Luck (I.e. roll 1d100 and try to score above your Luck value).
If you succeed, add 1d10 Luck

[Trivun]

Luck improvement (65%):

1d100

Bonus luck:
