Had a blast and only just got my failed actor, turned stuntman out alive! More Innsmouth action please, its nice to actually play as I have sat in the Keeper's chair for more years than I care to recount!
Cheers, Hal
I'm a big fan of Innsmouth action myself. I've played the beginning of Escape from Innsmouth here on this site (Kabukiman is the Keeper), and it's been a lot of fun so far. I'd really like to continue, but I was the only active player left after Welsh disappeared almost a year ago. I play intrepid reporter Alyssa Valentine, who has joined some sailors trying to rescue their kidnapped crewmate. We were just about to carry out our plan when the game ground to a halt, and I'm pretty sure once we did we'd get to the part where we have to run for our lives and the scenario really earns its name.
I played a stuntwoman named Cathy Saunders in another game that collapsed, this time when its Keeper disappeared, set in modern Vancouver and called Dissonance. She could act, but she wasn't all that good at it, and she did a lot of action B-movies in the 90s and 00s. Her stunt skills were spectacular, with 75 each in Climb, Dodge, Jump, and Swim and 70 in Throw and (the spectacularly useless in this setting) Drive Auto. Kirsten is similar but sort of the mirror image of her in some ways. She's an actress first and foremost, but she also can do stunts.

At least that's what I learned listening to The Eagle Has Landed. Still working on it. It's a good book, but taking me a while to listen.
I believe we're going in as civilians. We
could wear uniforms, but we could be shot if we were caught in them. Of course, we could be shot if we're caught anyway...
