To vent, commiserate and congratulate. All references to the real world should be made here. All meaningless and meaningful chatter should be made here.

To begin ... my sister has adopted a stray cat (about four months old the kitty is) which has developed the habit for following her a few steps behind, running ahead, running back, but basically, staying within a few feet of her, even for somewhat long walks. She doesn't have a name yet but I helped persuade mum to let her keep the cat. How many cats will actually follow a person? I am so jealous, living in my first floor flat.

So yeah, there's my entirely personal comment.

Oh, and you don't have to be playing the game to post here. Chit-chat's open to everybody.

Also, in case you guys are wondering, you can swap the scores around as much as you feel like. You don't have to apply them in order.

I like the maps. What did you make them with?

Posted: **Mon Apr 30, 2007 5:10 pm**

1. take real maps
2. add numbers
3. add explanation
4. ?????
5. profit

Posted: **Mon Apr 30, 2007 8:48 pm**

I got the maps as basic schematics off the internet, put them in paint and then copied and pasted a few D20 Modern onto a different paint window. I then copied the floor tile pictures and the individual bed/cupboard/etc. pictures and put them into the rooms. So yeah, I pretty much created them through making a Frankenstein of other people's work!

Posted: **Tue May 01, 2007 2:20 am**

There, I did y'all a teaser entry for one of the in-game threads. The game ain't beginning just yet. I just felt inspired and figured I'd put a post up. Give you an idea what it's all about.

Posted: **Tue May 01, 2007 6:57 am**

Very nice. It certainly piqued my interests.

Posted: **Tue May 01, 2007 11:02 am**

So what are you guys got to do in the next week? I've got two essays I need to finish and I'll be spending the weekend with my folks. And I'm gonna be a naughty uni student and have a bit of a drink tonight with friends. What'll you lot be doing?

Posted: **Tue May 01, 2007 11:32 am**

My wife is away this weekend and taking the little one with her so I have a weekend of freedom

I am going to see Spidey 3 on Friday, then I am going to the London SciFi film festival http://www.sci-fi-london.com/ to see Captain Eager and the anime all-nighter. Its going to be film-tastic.

I might try and fit a game of Arkham Horror in at some point too, I've been addicted to it recently.

I need to get the expansions to that game. I've got Arkham Horror but I want the other ones, too. 8)

Posted: **Tue May 01, 2007 2:25 pm**

The Dunwich Horror expansion is definitely worth it. It adds loads more of everything, Insanity and Injury cards, and contrary to what you might expect it can actually shorten the game since it really accelerates how fast the GOO appears. It generally makes the game harder, but IMO that is a good thing as the basic game is too easy on the whole, I certainly won more than I lost with the base set, with DH it is about 50-50. The Horror itself doesnt often appear, but its another thing for the investigators to worry about.

Posted: **Wed May 02, 2007 1:08 am**

Always wanted to play Arkham Horror, but I don't have a gaming group to play with - which is, incidentally, why I'm here. I have to make a model about Earthquakes and the Elastic Rebound Theory.

Posted: **Wed May 02, 2007 3:32 am**

I've never played Arkham Horror, but I've heard of it and it sounds great. I'd love to be able to play it.

I like the teaser entries, and I'm looking forward to the start of the game.

During the week I'm working, but this week we've got a training course on CICS COBOL programming. It's a nice change, and we get out a little early. Plus I can go online during breaks. There's not enough time to post much, but it helps me keep up with the reading and frees up time in the evenings. The only problem is we also start early, so I get even less sleep than I normally do. I didn't update Zombie Apocalypse Tuesday since there's a PC in combat whose player hasn't posted, but I plan to do so Wednesday no matter what. One NPC in the same combat just got very badly wounded - by her own gun! Ah, the chaos...

Posted: **Wed May 02, 2007 4:29 am**

You a programmer, eh, Mr. Handy? What sorts of programs you usually make?

Also, here folk: http://www.kontraband.com/show/show.asp ... ain-topten . Real zombies. I wonder if this is scripted. I'd be surprised if folk would be allowed to do that.

Posted: **Wed May 02, 2007 4:59 am**

Most of the programs I make at work deal with databases. I do some COBOL programming, but mainly I program in Visual Basic .NET (usually ASP.NET web applications that connect to SQL Server databases), and I've also made some Access databases. I'm a civilian computer programmer working for the police department. A lot of my programs are used for day-to-day management, but I've also made a few statistical and investigative tools.

I also like to make computer games, though I haven't had much time for that lately. The last two games I completed I made with Visual Basic 6 about 4 or 5 years ago. One is a Hunt the Wumpus clone with a graphical interface called Hunt the Terrorist, which I made mainly to get used to using VB. The other is a full-fledged game called Tomb of Doom. It's turn-based with 2D graphics I drew myself. It's set in the 1920's, and the protagonist is an archaeologist named Kate Carlisle who is trapped in an Egyptian tomb and must escape with her life. The tomb is randomly generated each game, so the room layout and placement of objects and enemies is different every time. It's not Call of Cthulhu, though, and there are no Mythos references, but it does have some of the same atmosphere.

Thanks for the link to the video - I've only watched about half of it so far, but I should be able to see the rest of it soon.

you poor poor soul...

oh well, at least COBOL will be all nice & logical for you. a nice change from your daily struggle in VB.NET & VBA.

Posted: **Wed May 02, 2007 8:01 am**

Whoopsy, I forgot to ask two very important question. One requires an answer, the other would be interesting for you to answer.

Required Question: Your boundaries. What are they? You can feel free to private message me if you don't want it to be made public. Basically, most people have their boundaries where things go too far. Your character or others getting raped, animal or child mutilations or deaths, extreme sexism or racism, consensual sex, nudity, etc. Take a good moment to think about what, if anything, you couldn't stand reading about and tell me them. This isn't because this game will have bucket loads of it. I won't include such things for shock value or just because I can. I will only include that which adds to the feeling of the game, much as most good writers do and I will most likely not be very explicit with such subject matter. After all, subtlety is often scarier then being knocked over the head with something.

Optional Question: What bothers you when you read it in prose. Reading about a person having to crawl across glass, spiders, Sophie's choice type dilemmas, or my personal favourite, someone so desperate to escape they snap off their nails in their desparate bid to escape.

But yeah, this game is meant to be fun. If there are certain subject matters you can't stand to see broached, please contact me.

Posted: **Wed May 02, 2007 8:42 am**

As for the first question, I really don't have any boundaries. I can understand that it's all fiction, and if used well, can make the fiction even better and more disturbing. If just thrown in for shock value, it's not so much offensive as it is stupid.

As for the second, personally, it really gets to me when the idea of complete and inescapable doom dawns on the protagonist. I wrote a short story once, where an icicle grew beside the on/off button for the heater which it was on. It turned it on, but it melted so much that when it wanted to turn it off, it was no longer long enough to reach the button, so it could only wait for it's inescapable death.

Posted: **Wed May 02, 2007 9:49 am**

No boundaries for me either.

Inevitable doom is what gives me the fear too. I actually had a dream a few days ago that highlights it well.

In my dream it was late at night. I was in my house when I heard some noise outside. I peeked out the window and saw a small group of teenagers larking about. I considered going out to clear them off, but was then shocked to see one of them throw a firebomb at a house opposite. Then there seemed to be hundreds of them, a huge gang totally destroying the neighbourhood, smashing everything and killing everyone. My wife and I took the baby up into the loft to hide.

We heard the gang enter the house and desperately tried to keep the baby quiet. We knew it was only a matter of time before they found us. I woke up before they got to us, but it was terrifying, I still clearly remember how desperate and doomed I felt - there was really no escape. It was terrible not knowing what would happen - would we be smoked out, burned alive, raped, beaten, knifed - but the inescapability, the loss of control was what made it terrifying.

Posted: **Wed May 02, 2007 10:42 am**

I am a programmer too btw. Database and scripting stuff at work. Games and stuff at home

I am making a browser based MMORPG. Its still in "alpha" but you are welcome to take a look

well, that makes 3 of us. my diploma says i'm a programmer at least (amongst other things), but it's not a job i'd take atm.

Posted: **Wed May 02, 2007 12:31 pm**

Three guys with programming language in a roleplaying environment. Who'da thunk it?

I'm a counsellor to be. Well, a third year psychology student. And I'm a keeper running you lot through rat mazes... Coincidence? I think not.

Posted: **Wed May 02, 2007 1:47 pm**

I am not a programmer either, but I do write programs from time to time.

I'm a grad student in astronomy and said programs are either for data analysis or for modeling some physical process.

I would really rather not see any sex, violence, or rock and roll in this game. Oh, and especially nothing scary (physically or psychologically).

Heehee.

Posted: **Wed May 02, 2007 1:55 pm**

Everyone's a programmer but for me!

I feel like I'm missing out. And wow, astronomy, I'd better do any research if I include any star-filled visions in this game.

I can't wait to kick off this game - kinda champing at the bit - this is the type of game I love to run. The sorta thing that just flows off the tongue for me though in my real life game I've had to try to be very restrained so that adventures like this don't over-take the campaign. As these themes are the campaign... It's gonna work out grand.

And don't worry, Imme. We'll put you in the fluffy bunny thread soon enough where you'll have to deal with the naughtiest girl in the school's on-again-off-again sense of compassion and the magical winged chair that flies you to faraway places. Don't worry, nothing bad will happen. Promise.

Posted: **Wed May 02, 2007 6:00 pm**

that conversation about programming was the scariest thing i've read on this forum.

by the way i don't have too many parameters but can't imagine anyone writing an adventure where the characters get raped, not one you'd want to play anyway.

just in case leroy is stapling his underwear to his butt.

Posted: **Wed May 02, 2007 11:37 pm**

True. In Silent Hill there always seemed to be the threat of rape - ah, Pyramid Head. But it never actually happened.

Posted: **Thu May 03, 2007 12:21 am**

I don't really have any boundaries either - anything goes. Disturbing events, when they fit well with the story, can also provide great roleplaying opportunities.

The feeling of inescapable doom is really at the core of Call of Cthulhu. That doom is usually lurking off in the distance (unless it's an apocalyptic scenario), but it's always there. The investigators may be able to foil the plans of cultists and Mythos entities sometimes, but the victory is a temporary one. Humanity's fate is ultimately sealed. It might be delayed, but it cannot be avoided.

I watched the rest of that video; that was hysterical, but I think it probably is scripted.

Borderlands looks interesting, similar to Urban Dead but with a fantasy roleplaying setting. I'll probably try it out when I have a chance.

Posted: **Thu May 03, 2007 4:44 am**

Anyone here's character got an ethnicity/nationality that isn't seven generations British or who doesn't have an English complexion?

A few people haven't addressed the boundaries question (it's okay if you don't feel the need to, I'm just putting in a reminder in case someone hasn't gone through all the other posts and doesn't know about it - it's more for your benefit then mine 8) ).

Also, four people haven't handed in their character sheets or at least haven't uploaded them onto the site yet and have only sent them as a PM. This isn't a scolding or even a reminder, you've plenty of time and I'm damn busy at this time so I'm not bothered, this is just for my own sake so I can count them down.

Posted: **Thu May 03, 2007 9:46 am**

leroy is mixed race, half jamaican - half irish.

Posted: **Thu May 03, 2007 10:19 am**

I don't have any bounderies when it comes to fiction.

And when it comes to reading, things like that doesn't really bother me. Most stories and books I like contain a few of those elements.

By the way, that Real Zombies-video was terrific. I hope it wasn't scripted

(If it was scripted he's a fantastic actor).

I would like to know if you people like movies, and if so what kind of movies. I myself love movies couldn't help brining up the subject

Also, tell me of movies that made a big impact on you. Movies that made you think or really stirred up your emotions. If anyone's interested I got a list of "My movies" with votes on imdb here: http://www.imdb.com/mymovies/list?l=22880643

Yes it was *ahem* influenced *ahem* by Urban Dead, though its slightly less "low-fi". I liked UD but it felt a bit pointless after a while, and it was too easy to die when logged off. In Borderlands, you at least defend yourself if attacked. The lofty aim is to create a world where the players can actually make a difference. Unlike a MMORPG like WoW, when you defeat a big bad guy, he will stay dead, not respawn for the next party to slay.

As I say it is still in Development has slowed recently as I have been so busy, but I am always adding stuff. At the moment only the northern half of the map is populated, so dont wander too far south else you'll be on your own!

I am going to work on the layout next - up until now it basically just splurges out everything willy nilly. The final layout will use collapsing panels so everything can fit on the screen and stop you needing to scroll all the time. I mocked it up here: http://www.waferthinninja.com/newblmain.html

Anyway let me know how you get on. Beware of the robber lizards!

Posted: **Fri May 04, 2007 1:36 am**

Movies, huh?

I like tragedies: Grave of the Fireflies, Life is Beautiful.
Horror: Aliens, Terminator, Saw, Wolf Creek.
Action: Indiana Jones, Lethal Weapon.
Thoughtful Movies: Pleasantville, Jacob's Ladder, The Truman Show.
Comedies: Hot Fuzz, Shaun of the Dead.

I believe those are my main favourites.

Posted: **Fri May 04, 2007 5:19 am**

Sarah's very British, but some of the other characters have different origins. There's at least one American and one Canadian, I recall.

I enjoy movies too; I'll go into which ones once I've had some sleep and I have a little more time. I do like the ones Laraqua mentioned (at least the ones I've seen, which is all but a handful of them).

I created a character for Borderlands and started playing. I made a warrior and began by looking around the town and buying the best shield available. It cost all my gold, but now I've got good starting weapons and armor (I started with a longsword and chainmail). Is there any way to know which character classes can use which types of equipment? I figured that a warrior could use all weapons and armor, but I don't know who can use the various spellbooks. The buttons on the home page menu don't actually do anything yet, so there doesn't seem to be any source of information on the site about the game mechanics.

Afterwards I waited for my APs to recharge back up to 100 and then went exploring in the area around the town. I didn't find anything else of interest within several tiles, just plains and forests. Didn't encounter any monsters (wandering or otherwise), and the only players I saw were in town. The interface improvements you have planned look a lot better.

Posted: **Fri May 04, 2007 5:46 am**

Good news everyone. The whole class got an extension on their Ethics essay - a whole week extra. This means we should begin Wednesday evening or Thursday. That's a whole day or so earlier then we originally were going to. Aren't y'all excited?

Posted: **Fri May 04, 2007 7:32 am**

I should have used this as my map making program: http://au.pc.ign.com/objects/849/849517.html#news . Wouldn't you say?

Also, I think I should see if I can find this in Borders. Their policies allow folk to read the books they find so long as they don't leave the store. http://www.amazon.com/Code-Blue-Writers ... 0898799376 I think it might help. 8) After all, probably best for me not to wander into the Emergency wards so I can find out what they look like.

Posted: **Fri May 04, 2007 8:50 am**

Whoops. Boy I'm impatient.

I just couldn't help myself! I'd been working on my essay so long.

At the moment any class can use any weapon - the game actually started classless, with your initial choice just determining your starting skill, but as it developed I decided a class system was necessary to balance things. Once I fully implement it it will be pretty much what you expect - warriors will be able to use anything, mages limited to staffs and daggers and so on.

Monster density is one of the things I am toying around with. On the "horde" side the monster density is higher. Make an orc/goblin character and you should have an easier time finding monsters to fight.... or just head east over the mountains to get to horde territory.

It definitely needs documentation - so far my "testers" have been my friends and have seen it since its very early days, so I just explained each new feature as it was added. The mechanics of the game (e.g. exactly how combat results are calculated) are deliberately hidden - you will notice that apart from Action Points nothing is expressed in numbers. e.g. you don't know you have 3 HP left, you just know you are critically wounded. The idea is to make people concentrate on adventuring and worry less about their statistics.

I just need to find more time to work on it - its tough finding time with an 8 month old child around!

I guess we shouldnt hijack Laraqua's game forum to discuss it - but definitely PM me if you have more feedback, its good to get an impression from someone who is not in my real life circle of friends. I will try and set up a forum for it at some point - again it just comes down to finding the time.

when can we start posting? should i meet carson in the toilets?

Posted: **Fri May 04, 2007 1:25 pm**

Yeah, y'all might as well, though we won't be starting officially until Wednesday or Thursday. Until then I can't make any promise I'll do any responses. The last thing I need to do is lock myself into any new committments until Thursday!

Posted: **Sat May 05, 2007 5:21 am**

I'm glad we're getting underway early! I'm excited too, and I can't wait to get started either - so I won't!

First post coming up now.

Posted: **Sat May 05, 2007 7:50 am**

About 80% of Riverland (The name of an Australian district of towns) nurses smoke, or so it seems. A mixture of country town values and high stress probably does it.

Posted: **Sat May 05, 2007 5:54 pm**

I live a few blocks from a hospital, and I've often seen nurses standing outside and smoking. A lot of smokers start quite young too, and by the time they're older and wiser they're already hooked. I don't think peer pressure is as much of a factor any more, since a lot more people don't smoke than do nowadays, but some teenagers might start smoking as an act of rebellion.

Posted: **Sun May 06, 2007 11:56 am**

Whoopsy! That's what happens when you use real maps. There's an emergency theatre on the first floor and on ground floor. We'll say the first floor is the original one that is normally used as just a normal surgery. The ground floor is the much larger and newer one. Sorry Paradys for doubting you!

Man, I really gots to make up that ground floor map. For all our sakes! 8)

Posted: **Sun May 06, 2007 3:05 pm**

I got confused too - I had been looking at the first floor map thinking you were referring to that emergency room.

I have an idea for something we could do while we wait for the official start, which I've seen done in another play-by-post on a different board. We could each (if we want to) write flashback scenes for our characters describing incidents in their pasts, which would help us all get a better feel for our characters.

Posted: **Mon May 07, 2007 2:11 am**

That sounds like a wonderful idea! Who wants to go first?

Posted: **Mon May 07, 2007 2:38 am**

I can go first, since I have some time tonight. I was thinking of writing Sarah's final confrontation with Lyle. Should each flashback get its own thread? If so, should I just create a new topic and post it?

Posted: **Mon May 07, 2007 2:53 am**

Unfortunately, I think that'd just add a lot of clutter. As it is, new threads will be closed and activated as people move around and change pairings and trios and solo runs. Let's just put it in Chit-Chat. It's not like we can't go back and have a look at it.

Besides, I've never had a thriving OOC thread before. Let's make this one it!

Posted: **Mon May 07, 2007 4:42 am**

Okay, I'll just post it here. It might be okay to just have a single thread for all of the flashback posts, but if you decide to do that they can always be moved there later.

Flashback: Sarah Carpenter - Lethal Obsession

A loud noise intruded on Sarah's dream, followed by a tinkling sound. She stirred, her brain still foggy and just starting to shift into gear. Her eyes fluttered open and began to adjust to the darkness of her bedroom. She turned her head to the side and saw the red digits on the clock on her bedstand: 2:21 AM.

As Sarah woke up, she started to process what was happening and became increasingly alarmed. That sounded like glass breaking! she thought, sitting up with a jolt and clutching her nightgown. Her pulse was racing, and she didn't need a sphygmometer to tell her that. Her first instinct was that Lyle Hamilton was responsible. Her ex-boyfriend's incessant phone calls and following her around everywhere were frightening enough, but breaking her window was a new low.

Then Sarah realized that it was even worse than she had feared when she heard the crunching sound, followed by footsteps...and they were getting closer. They're coming from inside my flat! she realized. She shoved the sheets aside and swung her legs over the side of the bed, but it was too late. Her bedroom door flew open, and a dark figure darted towards her and tackled her to the bed. A gloved hand clamped over her mouth, preventing her from crying out. She tried to shake her head, but he held it firmly against her pillow. Tears began to spill from the corners of her eyes. His face was obscured by a black ski mask, but she knew those eyes anywhere. Eyes that had at one time been so charming and bright, but now were full of rage. Lyle's eyes.

"Don't scream, Sarah," he hissed. "Don't make me hurt you." Sarah whimpered softly, meeting his gaze and pleading with her eyes. "I'm going to take my hand away now. Don't scream."

Lyle removed his hand from Sarah's mouth and she took a couple of deep breaths. "Please, Lyle," she begged, "you don't have to do this. If you leave now, I won't tell anyone, I promise."

"I know you too well, Sarah. I know when you're lying to me. I love you, but you betrayed me once and you'll do it again."

"You drove me away, Lyle. You have nobody to blame but yourself." As soon as the words were out of her mouth, Sarah knew it was the wrong thing to say, even before he grabbed her throat. But was there even a right thing she could say? "Please..stop...I loved you before."

Lyle released her throat. "And you will again."

"No. I'm sorry, Lyle, but it's over."

"I say when it's over," he growled through gritted teeth. Then he calmed down and stroked her cheek with a gloved hand. "God, I've missed you, Sarah."

"No..." Sarah tried to push him off of her, but he was too strong and his weight kept her pressed into the bed. She realized now that there was no chance she could talk her way out of this. She thought he probably didn't intend to kill her, but if she resisted he might do it anyway. Still, she couldn't bear to submit to him, even if it increased her chances of survival. She did the only thing she could: she fought back.

The self-defense training Sarah had started taking since Lyle had begun stalking her came back to her automatically. She curled her right hand into a fist, pulled her arm back, and socked Lyle in the jaw. He backhanded her across the face, stunning her. She could taste blood on her tongue - her blood. Lyle seized her wrists, pinned them down, and forcibly kissed her on the lips. Sarah squirmed, flailing with her legs, but to no avail. Lyle's grip was powerful and unrelenting.

Exhausted, Sarah finally ceased struggling. Lyle let go of her wrists and rose up on his knees, and then began to unbuckle his belt. Panic threatened to overwhelm her. Oh, God, she thought, he's going to rape me! Paralyzed, she could only watch as he started pulling down his pants.

Then Sarah found an inner reserve of strength and courage she hadn't known she possessed before. No he's not! she thought, filled with determination. With every ounce of might she had, she drove her leg up into Lyle's crotch. He fell over, groaning in agony. Sarah rolled out of bed, landing on her hands and knees, and sprinted for the door. He lunged for her, trying to grab her waist, but she wriggled free. She could hear Lyle chasing her as she ran through the living room to the front door. She hurried to undo the chain lock and the dead bolt that had been meant to keep her safe but now were keeping her trapped in her own home with a madman. She managed to get the chain off before Lyle slammed her against the door from behind.

Sarah fought back again, jabbing Lyle in the kidney with her elbow and breaking out of his grasp. Acting purely on her instincts, she ran into the kitchen. Lyle was pursuing her close enough that she could smell his breath. Sarah raced over to a drawer, threw it open, and grabbed her steak knife with both hands. She whirled around just as Lyle caught up with her. He tried to grasp her arm, but her lightning reflexes were too fast. She slid the blade between his ribs, right into his heart. Lyle stepped backwards, gasping and gurgling. Blood burbled up his throat and out his mouth, and he collapsed on her kitchen floor, his muscles twitching. Sarah stood there in shock, the bloody knife slipping through her fingers and clattering when it hit the floor. She stared at her hands for a second, which were splattered with blood. Lyle's blood.

Sarah's medical training took over, and she grabbed a wad of napkins, kneeling over Lyle and applying pressure to the wound. She wasn't sure why she was doing it. Maybe it was because she had once had feelings for him, maybe it was because she couldn't stand the thought of having killed a man, or maybe it was simply in her nature. In any case, her efforts were futile. Lyle breathed his last, and all Sarah managed to do was to get herself bloodier. Numb from what had just happened, she stumbled to the phone and picked it up, smearing the receiver red in the process. She called the police and told them her name and address. "A man just broke into my flat," she said. "I...I killed him. His name was Lyle Hamilton." She leaned against the wall for support, then slid down it until she was sitting. Her eyes caught sight of the kitchen clock, which read 2:25 AM. Four minutes. Two hundred forty seconds. It had felt like forever. It's over, was all she could think, staring at the scene before her. It's finally over.

Bravo! Bravo! Good scene. Definitely gives a sense of your character.

(Yeah, I know, I know, I should get off the Chit-chat and go do some homework but this is an excellent procrastination tool and I've no access to MSN which does the same job

Thanks, Laraqua! I should really get some sleep soon, so I'll log off now and let you get back to work. Besides, the sooner you finish, the sooner we can get fully underway.

Posted: **Mon May 07, 2007 8:37 am**

kudos to mr. handy, it would take me bout two weeks to write something like that! he even gave it a title!

Posted: **Mon May 07, 2007 3:27 pm**

Wonderful job, Mr. Handy.

Posted: **Tue May 08, 2007 2:23 pm**

Hi, I was just wondering what the name of the hospital is. Is it Ward 15?

Posted: **Wed May 09, 2007 1:36 am**

I believe I decided to call it Mercy Cross Hospital. Tell me if you can think of a better name.

Ward 15 is just the number of one of the wards that one of the players are in.

Posted: **Wed May 09, 2007 3:48 am**

Thanks for the compliments, paradys and imme!

I had been wondering what the hospital was called too. Mercy Cross sounds good to me.

Posted: **Wed May 09, 2007 6:26 am**

It'll be a few days before I get back to your thread, MrHandy. I need to do a bit more research first and I don't have the time or energy. Currently, the other people's threads are simpler to conceptualise.

Posted: **Wed May 09, 2007 10:13 am**

Hey Zombiedla, I'd prefer it if you weren't currently being taken care of and were instead in an ambulance on your way to hospital. Just to give people a different version of what's happening...

Posted: **Wed May 09, 2007 12:23 pm**

That's fine with me

I'll just change the character sheet a bit

Posted: **Wed May 09, 2007 12:50 pm**

Zombiedla, you and Coffee Demon's intro is a bit too complicated at the moment for me. I'll probably have you both introduced on Friday, along with Mr Handy's next post, when I have a bit more time and space to breathe and have a bit of a think about things.

Posted: **Wed May 09, 2007 3:28 pm**

112, SuAside? I'm Australian, not British. You need to explain these things to me.

I can't be bothered looking everything up!

Posted: **Wed May 09, 2007 4:39 pm**

112 is the european emergency number (in the UK it equals the 999 number). it was decided in the European Union to use the same emergency number everywhere. usually it drops you into the nationwide dispatch for police, firefighters and medical services.

112 also works in Australia btw, but appearantly only on mobiles. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emergency_ ... er#Oceania

No posts today, I'm afraid. I'm gonna be a bit rushed off my feet.

I'm fine with waiting until Friday too, as I have little time during the week anyway.

Jason takes out his pocketknife, clicks out the screwdriver and tries lightly unscrew one of the vent screws, just to see if it was possible.

Okay, everyone, run out and borrow a movie called Fragile. It's a horror/ghost story set in a children's hospital in London and well worth the watch.

Posted: **Mon May 14, 2007 2:21 pm**

For those who's interested, it's Monday, 4:35, so your characters could decide to watch Ready, Steady, Cook on BBC2. No, seriously, it may be important.

Anyway, yeah, day and time. No, the television channel thing is not a clue. Not for most of ya's anyway. 8) Or is it? Is that cooking program the secret behind the whole campaign?

You decide.

Posted: **Mon May 14, 2007 9:35 pm**

Hey guys, this is some backstory for Bernie here. This is leading up to his deployment to Europe and his first encounter with his wife, Matha. This also establishes some shame, which can fun for my keeper to play with. I'll post more of it at a later time.
Bernard Cromwell
Fayetteville, North Carolina 1968
Bernard chalks the end of his cue, contemplating his next shot. The smole filled bar seethes with the primal essence one usually finds in the less than reputable strip joints outside large military installations. The clientele is a mix of off-duty 82nd Airborne soldiers and a few residents of "North Cackalacki" swilling overpriced booze and oogling strippers who most likely had boyfirends in 'Nam. Bernard takes a long drag on his cigarrette and readies his shot.

As he strikes the cue ball, he is jostled from behind. His shot goes wild and hits the 8 ball. He stares in horror as it sinks into the side pocket, costing him the game. Not to mention the 50 bucks he laid down on it.

Angry, he spins around and grabs the man he ruined his shot. He brings the man close and takes a good look at him. The guy is about 23, unshaven, reeking of a hard days work. His eyes widen as Bernard shakes him.

"What the FUCK punk! Watch where you're going you little shit! You just lost me $50!" At the last word, Bernard balls his fist and draws his arm back.

Before he can do anything else, he feels a sharp pain on the side of his head and the world tilts. He thinks he hear something like "Take that shit outside!" A few seconds (minutes? days?) later he pushes himeslf off of the damp ground. The first thing he notices s the sound of wood slapping against a beefy palm.
To be continued...

Posted: **Tue May 15, 2007 12:28 am**

Well, what do you know? TV really does rot your brain!

Good start to Bernard's story, jtull_84. Looking forward to the next part.

Posted: **Sat May 19, 2007 11:54 am**

You guys figured everything out yet?

If you guessed Virtual Reality, you'd be right.

No better plot device.

Posted: **Sat May 19, 2007 8:27 pm**

I'm gonna have to hold off before I even try to guess what the hell is going on. Pretty good story so far.

Bernard's Story Part 2

As Bernard picks himself up from the ground outside the titty bar, he takes stock of his situation. A quick look around tells him that he is outnumbered 5 to 1, with one man holding a baseball bat and one man with what looks like knuckle dusters. He is outside the loading dock of the strip joint and he has no weapons.

"You done fucked up now Pork. You don't think we recognized you? We see you damn near every day pulling gate guard. I saw you just got your 6 too, that's real nice. I'm guessing you aren't stayin round here long. Where's your next duty station at?"

Bernard didn't see any harm in talking, he figured it might postpone the ass beating, maybe even give him time to recover, maybe get away. "RAF Menwith Hill, the UK. Got a new post, had an opening so I off I go."

"Heh, shoulda guessed. Some fucks got all the luck. Tell you what son, I'm not even gonna kick your ass tonight. You don't deserve it. You're just a dumb fuck who aint seen the shit, didn't recognize John there is a vet. You just remember to respect your betters, and hope I don't see you again, might change my mind."

One week later Bernard is on a plane crossing the pond and feeling like shit. He doesn't feel like he deserves to wear the uniform, but by God he'll do all he can to earn it.

GOod to see the second installment!

This seems to be a fun enough game. Wonder if anyone else will throw themselves into the fray?

Oh yeah, bad news everyone. My modem's dead. I can access the Nets at uni and should get a new modem come Friday but no promises. This forum will slow down a bit, unfortunately.

Posted: **Tue May 22, 2007 4:52 pm**

no prob, i'll be pretty busy this week anyway.

Posted: **Wed May 23, 2007 6:03 am**

No worries about the modem or lack of. Glad ya liked the story. I can think of several I'd like to hear. Some stories about Carson's addiction and Jason's cancer would be good.

Posted: **Thu May 24, 2007 4:53 am**

Good job on the second part of Bernard's flashback, jtull_84. I'd also be interested to see flashback scenes for the other characters.

I don't mind the slower pace either. I'm usually busy during the week anyway.

Posted: **Thu May 24, 2007 5:13 am**

We have considerably more flexibility here and so I thought we should bring about a tenday rule. Where there are two or more players and one player has not been able to post in the past ten days, and where the length of time they can't post is unknown (coz if they can't post for a fortnight but can post thereafter, the tenday rule isn't as appropriate), then I will endeavor to split the party. In this type of game, doing so is much more simple and will hopefully be interesting in and of itself.

Now this doesn't mean that I will only be splitting parties following a tenday rule. I just think that might be a decent length of time before doing so. It frees up the obviously busy person from yet one more obligation while allowing them to return with ease, meaning that if you do need time, you don't have to feel obliged to keep posting, and frees up the possibly impatient person from feeling, well, impatient.

Posted: **Thu May 24, 2007 4:20 pm**

Speaking of not posting in a while - I'm sorry to say I'm a little lost here. Laraqua, could you please explain where my character is now (I must be the first person to lose track of my own character

). I'm sorry if I missed something

Posted: **Thu May 24, 2007 5:58 pm**

I can dig the tenday rule.

Posted: **Thu May 24, 2007 9:14 pm**

I'm travelling. My posting will be slower for sure (but hopefully not a gap of 10 days

)

Posted: **Thu May 24, 2007 11:54 pm**

The ten day rule makes sense. In Zombie Apocalypse some players post very quickly and others take more time, which slows the game down even when I can post more often. The ten day rule couldn't really be used there since we don't have separate threads. We may eventually if groups of survivors split off on a long term basis, but even then with multiple characters per player it's likely that players would have characters in multiple threads. What we do instead is that if someone doesn't post for about a week, their characters just stand around doing nothing unless they've given me prior instructions to act upon.

Zombiedla, I believe Roger Woodward is one of the two patients in the back of the ambulance in the Accident and Emergency thread. I just edited my last post there, by the way.

Posted: **Fri May 25, 2007 2:07 pm**

Mr. Handy is right, of course.

Posted: **Sat May 26, 2007 3:15 am**

This has been a rough week of minor mishaps.

First on Sunday night, when I decided to give my Ethics Essay due the following day the work-over it deserves, finding loads of new references along the way, me and my flat mate decided to hook the LAN up between the two computers so we'd both have internet access. Cue the modem dying so nobody would have it. After a long period of time trying to work things out, we had to make a half hour walk to a friend's in the middle of the night - with his permission - to share his Internet access. I ended up feeling sick and just going to bed.

On Monday, I worked hard on my essay. I think something happened that day too but I've forgotten.

On Tuesday, I ended up going around to the cinemas and we decided to watch two movies that night instead of one. Cue a race to the bus stop, and the last bus home driving off with me five feet away... Had to pay for a taxi with my very nonexistent income.

On Wednesday, I went to uni to find out the address of the place my class excursion was going to that day. I got there shortly before twelve, believing the excursion started at 2... It started at 11:30pm.

On Friday, we got the new modem. Unfortunately, the LAN doesn't work so I can't access the Internet from my computer. On the plus side, I'll be able to do loads of revision work! Ah well.

*sigh*

Everyone has lives. Post fast, post slow, its all good.

Sorry for my absence, a lot of real-life drama going on right now not to mention two sets of exams. I'll try to post on weekends but don't count on it during the week.

Posted: **Fri Jun 01, 2007 3:14 pm**

totally understand. I'll keep my posts down to one or two a week so leroy and carson can stick together.
in the meantime shall we assume we're both heading down to a&e?

Posted: **Sat Jun 02, 2007 12:24 pm**

Okay then, since Paradys is accepting, and Oathinblood has good reason, I'll make an exception to the rule. You got time to do your exam revision without losing your budy!

Also, here's my gift to you guys: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1u6jy_Qf ... ed&search=

Hey guys. Thought I should let all know that RL is calling. Have NTC, wargames in a desert environment with tanks, until the ninth of July. This starts Friday. After that I'm looking at a deployment lasting a long time starting in the fall. Will post more when it becomes available.

Posted: **Mon Jun 11, 2007 4:51 pm**

That's cool. We'll just cool down your thread so it matches when you can post. As no one else is affected, that should be fine.

Posted: **Wed Jun 13, 2007 10:59 am**

Also, letter to the wary: I'll roll Sanity for anyone lost in the dark. Maximum loss at any one time is 1. Those who lose 5 sanity from this will suffer a temporary insanity, most likely increased startle reflex and a tendency to flee anything that moves.

Posted: **Mon Jun 18, 2007 1:41 pm**

Well, that's one more map done. Fifth floor.

Posted: **Mon Jun 18, 2007 3:16 pm**

Sorry I've not posted - I have been unexpectedly without internet access. Its all sorted now. Better go read those threads, make sure I haven't been dissolved by the cloud...

Sorry some of the maps are labelled in a confusing way. It was late last night and I wanted to sleep.

Posted: **Mon Jun 25, 2007 3:44 am**

So, how's the game going so far? Any advice, any desires, too slow, too fast, too hard to come up with what to do? Feedback time, peoples, tell me where I'm going wrong for you.

Posted: **Mon Jun 25, 2007 4:42 am**

It's going great so far. The pace is about right, and so is the difficulty level.

Posted: **Mon Jun 25, 2007 5:30 pm**

the pace seems to be picking up nicely. if anything i feel like i'm making too many posts and hogging all the action, hope oathinblood doesn't mind..

Posted: **Thu Jun 28, 2007 1:42 am**

I won't be posting on Saturday or probably Sunday as well. Maybe even Monday. While I'm away, though, feel free to roleplay between yourselves. You have a stay of execution, nothing bad will happen to your characters while they talk in those days so don't worry about waiting for me. You may make assumptions about what is in the rooms with you as I've already detailed them somewhat but if you venture into rooms I have yet to fully describe since the darkness came, you'll need to halt for me.

Posted: **Thu Jun 28, 2007 3:16 am**

The holidays have come and I'm looking to make up a list of fun things that can be done so I figured I might as well share and see what you guys do as well. So whattaya all do for fun?

I've got an engagement party this weekend to attend, a 21st and a 22nd birthday party. I do like going down to the Central Markets and the Adelaide equivalent of Chinatown (half a street of Asian shops). I also like checking out vintage and antique shops ever so often though I prefer to buy from charity shops because not only is it cheaper but it's more fun rescuing some antique clothing from there than anywhere else and I get to feel like I'm helping the world with my meagre finances.

I've got to admit that at parties I tend to drink what we call, goon wine, from a goon sack. Basically, a 5-litre white wine that is contained in a silver-coloured alfoil-like sack which has a flick-to-open lid that squirts out wine. Hard to explain, really, but a great and cheap invention for drunken delights.

I've also signed up at Fitness First - a gym that's a total of about fifty meters from my front door.

I also like to bake. I leave most of the cooking to my defacto. I'm all about the cakes and pastries, pasties and pies, muffins and biscuits, though I don't do it nearly as much as I'd like.

Other than that, reading psychology books, playing videogames and tabletop roleplaying games is basically what I do.

How about the rest of you?

Posted: **Thu Jun 28, 2007 3:39 am**

I haven't been able to play tabletop RPGs for years other than at conventions since I can't find other gamers within walking distance outside of a college environment (let alone enough time), but play-by-post has really helped fill that void. Zombie Apocalypse is a lot of fun, and now the body count is finally starting to rise after a long time with no fatalities. One character is bleeding to death and beyond help, another is badly wounded after being bitten twice, and a third is in imminent danger. Others are in danger too, but a little less imminent.

I also enjoy video games, on those rare occasions when I have time to play. I've been playing Indigo Prophecy, which is great so far and has a very Mythosy feel. I got about 2/5 of the way through when the screen went black after a cutscene. I tried several times, but there is no way to bypass this and it is chokepoint that cuts off the rest of the game. I think there must be something wrong with the disc and I'm going to exchange my copy for a new one in the hopes that it will work and I can continue the game, but the store still hasn't gotten it in yet. In the meantime, I've started playing Clock Tower 3, which is a fun survival horror game. Both games have something resembling a Sanity mechanic, though it fluctuates up and down a lot more than in CoC (where it can go down quickly, but up much less so).

Posted: **Thu Jun 28, 2007 6:59 am**

Mr. Handy and Zombiedla, feel free to break the 'spell' so to speak. You can post soon as you're available even if Wrl101 hasn't had a chance to respond to the slow-down yet.

Posted: **Thu Jun 28, 2007 7:36 am**

Well, the big thing for me at the moment is university. I'm in the gray zone between the end of highschool and the start of university with no job since no one is going to hire someone who'll be heading off in a few months. Gonna be studying Zoology up at Aberdeen University and, until then, trying to focus on improving my life, writing and art a bit.

I used to be involved in the odd bit of table-top stuff with some local friends. Problem is the one who pushed for being GM was a terrible miser and manipulative; I ended up constantly loaning him my books which he put more to use running RPGs that didn't really involve me at all and I'm too anxious to act as a dungeon master or keeper offline.

So, mostly, I play videogames, read books, jot down dreams and random ideas I have for anything and everything, try a hand at writing ocassionally. Its funny; I designed a fantasy world, its nations, its species, its heroes and legends and I'll be damned if I can think of an actual story to go with it.
Indigo Prophesy (or Fahrenheit - which is ironic, since it seemed to me that all the temperatures in the game were in celsius) is a damn fine game. Best of luck to Mr Handy getting it fixed!
Big fan of the old survival horror myself; got a few Resident Evils, Eternal Darkness (if it counts) and Silent Hill 2 under my belt. It took me a lot of convincing to try Silent Hill 2 because, despite loving horror, I had spent ages walking through the fog on my first play through and had been killed by the very first enemy of the game. By the gods am I glad I gave it a second chance though. One of the games that I was sad to see end.

When it comes to books, I'm pretty single-minded. I don't know why, but I'm thoroughly facinated by horror. Problem is, I'm torn between four books at the moment; I don't know whether to start Strangers by Dean Koontz, Books of Blood Omnibus 2 by Clive Barker, a collection of short stories by Richard Matheson and the fifth part of the Dark Tower series. Any suggestion?

Posted: **Thu Jun 28, 2007 9:58 am**

i liked the Dark Tower a lot when i was a kid (those that were released back then anyway). they do grow weaker towards the end. nr 5 is still good though.

Posted: **Thu Jun 28, 2007 10:57 am**

Wrl101 DON'T READ ... YET

Okay, Zombiedla, Handyman, it seems Geoff is quite nervous. Basically, you don't see him darting his head around, but you do see whatever overt moves he reports making. If he takes his hands off the door and it falls open, the fact he dropped the torch. Other than that, he seems to be deep in thought. We'll assume you were all trying to be quiet ... as you can't hear the unconscious man's whispering ... and that you therefore thought Geoff was doing the same. As you've been trying to be quiet for awhile, explicitly, I assume that's not against your character's desires. Soon as you post, the spell is broken and he will see you just as you are so be sure not to have your character react to any of the surreal things that's been happening.

Posted: **Thu Jun 28, 2007 1:07 pm**

SuAside and Imme, more blankets can be gotten from the Male Bay Ward. Also, there are a few radiators you two have seen in the Nurse's Stations that could be unplugged and brought here. The power point seems okay. Also, in that ward, there is also a nurse's desk. Never thought to mention it as I figured the map said it all but a brown rectangle is a brown rectangle and you might not have noticed it. Not that there is anything necessarily in it, but just for future reference for anyone entering a bay ward - yes, there is a desk there.

Posted: **Fri Jun 29, 2007 12:12 am**

I have the U.S. version of Indigo Prophecy, and the temperatures are given in Fahrenheit. It's a good thing I had time to play it when I did and got far enough to encounter the problem, because there's a 30-day limit on exchanges. On the opposite end of the temperature extreme, I had had an idea before I started playing it for a CoC adventure called "The Devil's Right Hand" set in modern Phoenix in the summer, involving a series of murders where the recently arrested suspect claims he wasn't in control of his body at the time and that he wasn't even present for some of the murders.

I've got Silent Hill 2, 3, and 4 on my PC, though my video card doesn't work with 3 and 4 because it lacks hardware pixel and texture shading. I found a workaround that got 3 to work, an emulator called 3d-analyze, but I haven't been able to get it to work with 4. I've also got Resident Evil 2 and 3 on my PC, as well as PS2 versions of Code Veronica X, 4, and Outbreak 1 and 2. I haven't had time to play those last four yet, though.

I also like reading, though it's been next to impossible for the last few years due to prolonged sleep deprivation. I vaguely remember reading Dark Tower years ago, but I think I only read the first one or two. I like to write too, especially interactive fiction. In addition to online roleplaying, I've also started writing some interactive Stargate SG-1 fanfiction, where the readers get to vote on what the SG-1 characters do after each scene I post. I've completed the first one, Missing In Action, and the next one, which is called 1942, is in progress.

I also enjoy making games, though I haven't had time to do that for a while. I've made a few card and board games, as well as some computer games.

I'm going to award skill points on a success by success basis. Amend your character sheets with the original stat in black and the developed stat in a different colour of your choice. You don't need to tell me how you will spend it, I'll just check your character sheets to find out if you spent it appropriately. It doesn't need to be strictly spent on the skill used for the success, unless I say otherwise, so long as its spent on an area recently used by the character. You will continue to earn skill ranks as we play. 1 point = 1 percentile. I'll go back over the threads and back-pay you in skill ranks.

Posted: **Fri Jul 06, 2007 12:44 pm**

when the keeper starts posting Silent Hill soundtracks, you know you're pretty much fucked!

*claps gleefully*

Well done! Silent Hill One no less. Oh wait, did it mention it in its title?

You just wait till I get to the Aphex Twin!

Posted: **Fri Jul 06, 2007 12:55 pm**

ATTENTION EVERYBODY

For one skill point apiece, in 25 words or less, what is your character's greatest weakness/fear and your character's greatest hope? By fear, I don't mean arachnophobia, I mean, what would devastate and tear them apart and by hope, I mean, what would keep them together?

The weakness/fear may be cowardice. Someone who can't stand fronting up to danger but can't stand the fact they're running away and leaving others to hurt. Or helplessness, where a person can't stand the fact another/they are getting hurt but they can't prevent/intervene. Or it might be betrayal, the fear that if anyone gets close enough, they're going to be terribly hurt. Or a fear of their own ability to hurt others - their own violence.

The hope/dream may be becoming a part of a family that truly cares, of being a hero and having others look up to them for guidance, to be loved and needed, or it might be curiosity or the thrill of the hunt.

If you give me your answer in 10-25 words - you may go slightly over or under, I will give you a free skill point, one for the greatest weakness/fear and one for the greatest hope.

Daniel's greatest fear: to lose his daughter physically or emotionally
Daniel's greatest hope: to find a happy balance between his love of money and his love of his family, so one does not destroy the other.

Aidan's greatest fear is that his live isn't going to get any better and he's going to spend the next forty years depressed and too unhappy to enjoy life but too guilty to move on and find something that makes him happy.

Similarly, his greatest hope is that he'll be able to break the pattern and move on to find something in life (be it career, family, etc.) that he can enjoy and feel good about.

Sarah's greatest fear is the death or loss of her father.
Sarah's greatest hope is to find true love, like the love her parents had for each other.

I've never played Silent Hill 1 before, and as far as I know there's no PC version. Now that I've got a PS3, though, I could play it if I could somehow find a PS version.

The replacement copy of Indigo Prophecy finally came in today, but I haven't yet had a chance to try it and see if it works. The 30 day limit turned out to be for unopened copies (just how are you supposed to know if an unopened game works or not?), but they let me exchange it anyway.

Posted: **Sat Jul 07, 2007 2:46 am**

I don't think SH1 ever did make it to PC, but if you can track down a PS copy it's well worth the effort; the scares have held up well despite being two systems ago.

Posted: **Sat Jul 07, 2007 3:24 am**

Yeah, you might need to eBay it. This is what happens when a game becomes more popular as the series progresses. If Silent Hill 2 sold more units they would have made more units and so there are likely many Silent Hill fans who want to see the original. I got lucky and bought mine from a video store. You could try to do the same.

Posted: **Sat Jul 07, 2007 5:29 am**

I tried my new copy of Indigo Prophecy and the same problem happened. I did some searching online and found out that someone else had the same exact thing happen. Both of us are playing it on a PS3, and I suspect that's why - the game probably works fine on a PS2, but I don't have one. Unfortunately, nobody replied to this person with a solution and I couldn't find one anywhere else. It's an excellent game and I'd love to play the rest of it, but I can't get past this bottleneck in the story and on to the next chapter (the game freezes right after the vision of the murder in the laundromat and the girl).

I've seen PS1 games in fye, but nothing I was looking for. I'd also like to play Resident Evil 1, which I've heard was great, but a PS1 version would be hard to find and the remake was only available for Gamecube.

Posted: **Sat Jul 07, 2007 6:11 am**

The RE remakes strays from the original, but I would recommend it even if it means only borrowing a Gamecube for the weekend. It was a pretty intense experience, very scary and a thousand times better than RE: Zero that came out at the same time.

Geoff's greatest fear/weakness:
Losing himself: his place, his meaning, his identity.

(He always had someone to use as an anchor, to know definitively where he is supposed to be, what he is supposed to do, who he is. Earlier in his life, he viewed his uncle as this anchor, even after he died. Then it became his colleagues. Having lost all this, Geoff is trying to save the others in the ambulance and to save himself, to grant him a purpose for being. All the same, he is still starting to crack up.)

Greatest hope/dream:
To achieve some kind of recognition. To do something great or, at least, right that would have made his uncle and his friends proud of him.

Also, on the note of RE:Zero, why did they drop some of the things that made REmake fresh? Like the defense items, for instance?

Jill's greatest fear is being abandoned by her husband. Her greatest hope is that he will stop beating her, will decide that he actually does want children, and they can be a happy family.

Roger's greatest fear is being left alone and not having anyone to turn too. His greatest hope or dream is to have the perfect lover and family so that he always have some one.

No idea what this is for, but Ronald's greatest fear is failure. His scariest nightmare is being ripped apart by children after a bad show. He's also a little aftraid of his puppet Micky the Mouth. Ronald makes sure he locks him up in his case and buries it deep in his closet before he goes to bed every night

Micky the Mouth

Something that always lifts Ronald's spirit is a child's smile. That and Oreos.

Greatest fear...hmmmm

I think Brianna's greatest fears have already come true....two dead parents and abandonment by age 9. However being trapped in that burning car again could be the next one on the list. I'm going to say she's claustrophobic, because of the car accident and being unable to get out when the car burst into flames. She would've been trapped for several minutes, considering how badly burnt she is.

Of course, I've mentioned already her extreme self consciousness considering her appearance, so being shunned because of her looks would be third.

Are we adding what lifts our spirit too??? Um....Brianna is a sunny little spirit that is always grinning....but in true kid spirit, what cheers her up is songs, stories, and of course ice cream. And what's better than oreos....with a big glass of milk.

Hey,

Just wanted to introduce myself. My name is Jason and I'm a library worker (government documents) in Texas. Other than that, I'm also a habitual gamer, a B-movie nut, a Godzilla fanboy, a Sunday school teacher, a brewer, and I just got engaged two months ago with my girlfriend of three years.

As far as the game goes, it really wouldn't be a fun game unless a few things got under my skin. Nothing is going to bother me so badly that I wouldn't want to play anymore, except possibly rape. For the most part though, nothing is off-limits for me.

Oh, just as a side note, has anybody else here seen the movie Session 9?

And, being a CoC game and all, I guess I should end with a dark confession: I actually like the Silent Hill movie.

Posted: **Fri Jul 13, 2007 9:12 pm**

Well, I teach Sunday school at a Unitarian fellowship. There isn't really a lot in the way of doctrine or dogma, so I guess some people would consider it religious and others would not. I usually just stay away from the semantics and let people call it what they want. Beyond a few basics, we don't really tell the kids what they should believe. In fact, one of the basics that we do teach is that it is up to the kids to find out those sorts of things for themselves.

As far as the brewing goes, I'm a hops head, so my favorite will always be a good IPA. Other than that, I prefer ales to lagers, the darker the better. Right now I have a batch of pale ale brewing.

Posted: **Sat Jul 14, 2007 3:30 am**

I finally figured out this thread. I was a bit confused when you said add skill points fopr each. Great idea Laraqua! Audience participation.....

I added what lifts Ronald up to my previous post. Smiles, kids and oreos.

The same things scare him as what I posted before. Failure, kids and Micky.

As for the beer. I'm a Canadian man myself. I am......

Posted: **Sat Jul 14, 2007 4:12 am**

Louie's worst fear is a loneliness and rejection. He's constantly cleaning which is why he makes a great janitor. He's anal rententive. He likes sunsets, long walks, and poety.....sorry wrong thread. He gets satisfaction from making the hospital a cleaner place so that people get better. He's very meek and scares easily. I don't really have any boundries except I have to agree with the whole sexual violence thing. This is supposed to be fun and that's just creepy.

I also like Canadian beer........got to go my igloo needs some repair.

Posted: **Sat Jul 14, 2007 6:17 am**

Holy for holies these two are nuts

Canadian beer....I'm a vintner myself...never tried making beer though.

Welcome to Adversus...amen on the sunday school brother!

Laraqua I have to admit the whole skill point comment flew right over my head....was just following suit because I saw other people doing it. I edited my last post to say what brightens Brianna's day. Definately ice cream....

I spent some time reading the earlier bits of the chit chat thread today and realized you asked for boundaries as well. (Way back when before I started) It takes a lot to offend me, probably because these games are not based in reality and hair raising stuff is bound to happen. But if you also want to know what would put me off playing, it's sexual violence involving children. (If that were to happen to one of my adult characters in another thread, I wouldn't be offended....just fyi) So Brianna's gonna wear her iron maiden for the rest of the game

ha ha ha

Posted: **Sun Jul 15, 2007 10:41 am**

seeing as we're all introducing ourselves, i,m an art technician at the local highschool. also i do various arty bits and pieces in my spare time.

i've never seen session 9 but heard a lot of people rave about it on the yog sothoth site so i'm keen to watch it.

Leroys biggest fear, before he got stuck in this godforsaken nightmare was that he would turn out like his father and his own son would end up hating him.

so its cool he has a young kid to look after. if this was a hollywood movie he'd learn to grow up and take responsibility. seeing as its cthulhu survival horror, no doubt he'll end up getting them both torn to bloody shreds.

c'est la vie

Posted: **Mon Jul 16, 2007 2:36 am**

Welcome Jason and Piano man!

I've never seen Session 9, but I have heard it was good and I'll be sure to watch it when it's on cable next. I haven't seen the Silent Hill movie yet either.

I don't drink alcohol, but that just means there's more for the rest of you.

I found a good picture to use for Sarah. A small portion of it was obscured so I had to fix it up a bit, but it's hardly noticeable. My initial description of her said she has curly hair, but otherwise this one was very close to how I envisioned her - so I'll just edit that description. Here's the photo:

I also made a picture of Sarah using HeroMachine. There are limited selections for each component of the picture, so I couldn't get it to look exactly how I wanted, but it's not too far off. Here it is:

Posted: **Mon Jul 16, 2007 5:14 am**

Holy Crap! I do believe Sarah is hot! Could be wrong though. No wonder the Janitor has a crush on her.

Posted: **Mon Jul 16, 2007 5:20 am**

Actually, the janitor has a crush on a nurse who works in the Children's Ward, not Sarah (could be Jill, but she's a volunteer and not a nurse). I only rolled an 11 for Sarah's APP. That's above average, so she is pretty, but the woman in the photo is much better looking than that. Of course, if she weren't then she wouldn't have been hired as a model for nurses' uniforms.

Posted: **Mon Jul 16, 2007 5:53 am**

Actually I made a mistake when I called her a nurse. She is the volunteer, but don't expect him to act on it he's too shy and akward. On the other hand if you want to play some dungeons and dragons he's in.

Posted: **Mon Jul 16, 2007 6:19 am**

OK fine...The janitor doesn't have a crush on her, so then the court is open for Ronald. Hope Sarah's type is very sensitive men with low self esteem. He doesn't usually mention the puppet till the third date though. Gotta leave em guessing right? Go Ronald!

Posted: **Mon Jul 16, 2007 7:13 am**

Bernard's biggest fear is failure to please his wife. Although she is dead, if he feels his actions would dissapoint her he would be ruined. His gratest hope is to make her proud.

And I'm back from NTC. California was hot, dusty, and sometimes fun. I'll continue posting for the time being. I'll probably have to slow down once deployment starts. Once I get settled I'll post regularly if I can. Long silences are bad....

Posted: **Mon Jul 16, 2007 10:14 am**

That's okay. This game's posting rate is doing fine. Those going solo can take all the time in the world if they feel the need to. This kinda game makes that easy.

Posted: **Mon Jul 16, 2007 6:58 pm**

Yes, the posting rate is going along just fine....except that I go to bed, content that I can't post, and need to wait for someone else, then wake to a flurry of posts having happened...somewhere in the wee hours between 2 and 5 a.m. my time!!!

Not that I mind of course....better that than waiting forever....ho...hum....wishing someone would care enough to post in the thread!

Have we had our fill of blood and guts for the moment...or is there more metallic whips scissoring nurses in half in our near future?

Sarah does like sensitive men, but she's been badly burned before and it'll take a lot to win her over.

Haven't you ever watched any horror movies. The sexy nurse doesn't die until she has sex. Some times even during....so I'd keep that chastity belt on for a little longer. Plus I've seen Ronald's act. It sucked so bad it made me cry.

I don't know bout that Mr. Handy..... Ronald's 17 Power makes him a pretty lucky guy. Let's check shall we..

nailed her!

nailed her again!

Ronalds just a lucky guy. Sarah doesn't stand a chance.

P.S> Thanks for teaching me that little trick laraqua.

Posted: **Tue Jul 17, 2007 4:59 am**

Sarah actually has more in common with Princess Leia, and even more with Padme Amidala considering that she fell for someone who went over to the Dark Side. Maybe she can find a nice, stable Han Solo-type next time.

I put Sarah's thoughts in italics, and I also chose green for her speech.

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2007 7:21 am**

Nah-uh, no you don't DSIGFUSS and pianoman. You clicky off the flashlight and you're moving on memory alone. The hall is so not dimly lit. The only light source other than the torch comes from the toilets on the floor beneath you. That's not enough light, especially not with all that ash in the air.

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2007 8:43 am**

OK Laraqua. I'll turn it back on. I think we're pretty scared of the light being on. Maybe it'll be that much scarier with the light off. Let me change my post slightly if you don't mind....

Man, leg cramps, back ache, shoulder pain. The joys of the flu! My de facto is currently crashed out since late last night - only been awake a few minutes here and there - sweating it out with the flu. Poor beggar. I'm doing much better but somewhat worse. At least he gets to sleep! Unfortunately, I can't seem to convince him to injest some fluids, which is vital when suffering a fever.

Oh well, I'll cook up some chicken noodle soup when he's feeling better and try to get him to at least drink the warm liquid. I know how terrible icy cold water can be on a nauseas tummy.

Damn this sickness-inducing weather!

Posted: **Wed Jul 18, 2007 2:06 pm**

I'm beginning to think that nobody has any faith in Louie, and Ronald's ability to handle a gun. I'll give you a hint. If Louie breaks into his Dirty Harry dialog......run. But just so you know he would probably shoot himself by accident before he hit anyone else.

I'd quit washing toilets too...the thought of scrubbing toilets while some crazy beast whips me in two from behind would have me re-thinking the importance of a shiny bowl.
