Re: OOC Thread
No problem, will rethink. I used to work on Dartmoor; I hope someone in our team can navigate or we may not even last long enough to go insane. There be some right tricky bogs there be.

Re: OOC Thread
My character - Captain Aubrey Fitzwilliam - is ready.
Re: OOC Thread
Could I go the full hog and have an eccentric female medium? She could either be the founding member of our psychic society or be on 'tour' and a guest of the society.
Re: OOC Thread
Sounds good aine!
Sorry I didn't make it clear, the action does not begin in Dartmoor, but actually in London. So everyone please base your characters there. There should be no connection with Dartmoor, so Philulhu, can you change your character background to suit that? All of the characters must also know each other too, and be existing members of the club or society, so be willing and able with good motivations to travel on this assignment.

Re: OOC Thread
Please could I have the skills for a medium? Background was a well placed governess so middle class? Thanks!
Re: OOC Thread
There is no skill set for Medium, it's not an occupation. If they are not part of the skill set for your profession, you should put such skills as Occult, Persuade, Psychology, Fast Talk, Listen or Spot Hidden. I think Governess would be listed as a Scholar under occupations.

No problem. I’ve updated my character background.HoneyDog wrote:Sounds good aine!

Re: OOC Thread
Very nice Phil! Now aine is making her character, and then things will be ready.
I'm sorry though, I'll be away from Sunday until Friday, so we might have to wait to get started. Please be patient! After that I will have regular computer access. One of you will receive a letter and gather the others for a meeting.

Re: OOC Thread
That will give me time to get home and write my character up on the computer rather than struggling with it on the phone. Looking forward to starting!
Re: OOC Thread
By the way, if it's easier I'm happy to make a single IC post and then sit out the spiritualist society meeting, and join in again ready to go to Devon.
I know my place.
I know my place.
Re: OOC Thread
No, no, all players should be there. Servants will just be unable to speak freely, but you should be able to communicate any thoughts to your master.
Re: OOC Thread
That's great. I didn't want my character to make it more difficult for you starting.
Re: OOC Thread
The society could be a bit more open-minded and open to all classes and backgrounds, providing they have a genuine interest in the supernatural.
Re: OOC Thread
That’s great aine . Now we’re ready to start. One of you will arrange a meeting to discuss a letter you’ve received. aine, will you be the society leader? You’ll explain the letter and encourage the others to get involved. I’ll begin the action tomorrow night when I get back home. I’ll have to think of a name for your society, so any suggestions are welcome.
Re: OOC Thread
Could it be that the society leader (an old old learned person) had taken ill so Miss Beauchant will be standing in temporarily. I feel she's s bit young and new on the scene to have established a respectable society. There's an upmarket tavern on Half Moon Street, we could meet in an upper room or Isolde is happy to hold the monthly meeting at her apartment along the street.
Re: OOC Thread
Sounds good. What is the name of the tavern?

The LSE have some maps of London from that era: https://booth.lse.ac.uk/map/16/-0.1423/ ... 0,180281.0
There’s also a hotel on the street, which at one time also had a tavern, according to its history: https://www.flemings-mayfair.co.uk/mayf ... el/history

Re: OOC Thread
Perhaps we could call the society "The Seekers of the Unexplained" or something along those lines?

Re: OOC Thread
Most tend to have more prosaic names like the Marylebone Spiritualist Association, the Retford Spiritualist Society, the Newcastle Spiritual Evidence Society, etc. Given the location of where we are to meet, we could be the The Spiritualist Society of Mayfair but hey, it’s CoC, so we could be the Seekers of Enlightenment, or similar
