Thanks for the link-help, guys.. I got it now.

Imme, if you want to ask more questions at the Prospero House, go ahead... Andrei figures we can wait until tommorrow when we've sorted things in our head a bit more.

It's still early in the afternoon for Elizabeth and Andrei, so they have a little time they can spend together if they wish before the evening get-together at Downing House.

In case I forget to post it IC, whenever Timour is invited to a formal event he leaves any guns locked in the glove box or trunk of his car.

OK. I'll want to ask Elizabeth a bit about her knowledge of Jackson, and get her impressions on everything so far. Then we can pack and go to the Downing residence early. We'll see. Andrei thinks that time spent with the Downing parents gives him more points with Elizabeth, which might not be the case.

What time is it where you're at, Coffeedemon?

Over here it's 6:08PM. This game tends to make insomniacs of us all.

11:40 pm right now. When I sleep, you all seem to be relaxin' in front of your computers

Post by **Laraqua** » Tue Oct 31, 2006 8:55 am

Hey, I'm going to a movie night later on tonight. So there'll be less relaxing in front of computer and more being out of the loop. But my character's not really up to much at the moment.

Why not have a forum to list evidence found that isn't on a hand-out or just general facts, such as the armed guards and the tail? A forum we players can post on when we hear something pertinent.

I was considering putting a wiki up on my webpage, but its not something that Ive done before. When I ran this campaign with my players they soon found the shear number of handouts, notes, photos, maps, and other clues a little overwhelming.

So you can start a clue thread if you like, but a wiki might be easier for you to keep organised. What do you think?

BTW: Happy Halloween, shame were not up to a scary bit yet.

Happy Halloween everyone! My little guy is going to be so surprised when we go out tonight

Oh, I forgot to say in case you all what to stick together at night (might be wise once the adventure gets going

), Downing House of course has enough guest rooms for everybody, (on their own, shared, whatever).

Each characters apartment can be assumed to have at least one spare room. Again Elizabeths will have several (all the apartments at the Dakota had between 4 & 20 rooms at that time). There is a grainy seventh floor plan of the Dakota Apartments here.

Timour calls top bunk!

One other thing that I should mention is that the adventure makes it clear that it's harder to find good biographical information through library research prior to World War 2.

So quite a lot of the information about the Carlyle Expedition principles can only be found by finding people who knew them or checking police/military/medical records and things like that.

He feels a little woozy but manages to do a damn good job hiding it. No one will notice how fragile he feels inside as he projects the aura of the suave, cool and collected professional.

It's a success either way but I reckon this is rather a Psychology roll.

Agreed.

Now what does conceal do? Is that hiding something on your person?

What would you roll to notice someone stealing a nonchalant peek at something?
