Re: The Incident Room: General Chat
Character creation info is up. You can play either police officers or civilian consultants, but I’d like at least two characters to be police.
Likewise, I’d like at least two characters to be magical practitioners (eg having the Magical advantage).

Re: The Incident Room: General Chat
Do the civvies have to be consultants? I’m already playing a police officer in Ladybird, Ladybird so fancied playing something different. I thought about someone living on the streets who has had some latent magical ability?
Re: The Incident Room: General Chat
The scenario starts off with the investigators already working for the Special Assessment Unit (the magical arm of the Met). However, maybe your character, being able to do magic, has heard of the SAU and turns up one day?

Re: The Incident Room: General Chat
That would work for me. I’ll pull a character together over the weekend.
Re: The Incident Room: General Chat
I shall start putting a character together this evening (after I'm home from work), but I have a concept in mind already if this is alright - a fairly rookie officer who hasn't long graduated from Hendon, but was quickly tapped up for the Murder Squad under DCI Seawoll. Soon enough she came across a case that reeked of 'the weird bollocks' - a corpse completely drained of all fluid without any external marks or wounds - and after she accidentally sensed vestigia at the crime scene she was seconded to the Folly and started working under them, after solving that first case. She's now learning the basics of magic, although it's still early days.

Great stuff!
Re: The Incident Room: General Chat
I'll wait for the primer to create my character, but I'm thinking of playing a medical examiner/forensic expert.

Re: The Incident Room: General Chat
See the character creation thread
Edit: there is a medical type in the pregens, so when I get a moment I’ll take a screenshot and send to you for inspiration.
(Being a brand new game, it isn’t really set up for online play yet).
Re: The Incident Room: General Chat
Thanks, I'll check it out after you do that.

Re: The Incident Room: General Chat
I’ll probably start the game this week, but with Xmas approaching I don’t expect things to take off until January.
Re: The Incident Room: General Chat
Those of you who don’t have a copy of the game might find this useful - https://chaosium.itch.io/rivers-of-lond ... RtrO4rfUaw
(Just be wary of opening the handouts, as they may contain spoilers for the first case file).

Re: The Incident Room: General Chat
Funnily enough, the last time I stayed in London (about six months ago) I was actually staying in a hostel on Montague Street, just a stone's throw from where The Folly would be And I spent most of the weekend in the West End, including visiting New Row (there's a Waterstones which I went into that's in the same place where I presume Stonewaters is in the game)...
Re: The Incident Room: General Chat
Yep, it's where Ben Aaronovitch used to work apparently.
Re: The Incident Room: General Chat
Happy New Year GM and Team! Many of you already know me. I'll try to squeeze seamlessly into the game as soon as the GM is happy with the character ("Skipper").
Cheers,
Snapper
