The Incident Room: General Chat

[Snapper]

All good! Totally enjoying this though.

[Mr. Handy]

I'm enjoying it too, and I understand. I've been busy last week myself.

[Snapper]

OOC:   After some mental and emotional debate, I'm going with Berlin's 'Take My Breath Away' as the tune Skipper is whistling. The obvious competition was home team favourite Rod Stewart with 'I am Sailing.'

Can someone tell me how to customize the spoiler button name? An example that I could copy/paste/edit would be appreciated.

I've tried to Google how to do it in the past and my normally strong Google-Fu consistently fails.

[Philulhu]

If you put an equals sign (=) and the text between ‘Spoiler-Button‘ and the square bracket’]’, that changes the name. Some symbols don’t work (like the ‘&’ symbol).

Try quoting this post to see how I set it up.

[SaintMeerkat]

Brilliant! Thank you! I never thought about quoting to look behind the curtain.

[Snapper]

You can also use it to copy other people's posted photos, as I have been doing with the investigators' notes!

[Philulhu]

I always copy & paste my earlier posts anyway. It saves me having to remember what colour I’ve used for different character’s speech!

[Snapper]

Skipper refers you to the famous misquote of Kipling:

"If you can keep your head when everybody around you is losing his, then it is very probable that you don’t understand the situation."

[SaintMeerkat]

Friends, I will be traveling this weekend, so my posts will be sporadic or non-existent.

For completing Why Was He Born So Beautiful? you characters get 1 Development point each.

You can also re-roll your luck (2d10+50), recover from any Damage and regain all spent Magic points.

[SaintMeerkat]

Thank you for running. I had a blast. I am definitely interested in whatever you have in store for us next.

Enjoy your break!

[Philulhu]

Thanks, JP. I enjoyed that (despite Des’ appearance to the contrary!)

I’m looking forward to our next outing.

[Trivun]

No worries! I'll sort the character updates tomorrow as well as probably write up in my spare time a little short story featuring Izzy and Alice, just for my own amusement and the hopeful enjoyment of you all, but otherwise have a good break and definitely looking forward to the next case!

[Snapper]

These have been good fun, thanks again! Look forward to the next one!

[Mr. Handy]

Thank you, that was fun! I'm looking forward to the next case too.

I'll spend my Development point to increase Fighting to 40. There's been no combat yet, but I lose some of the benefit of being a bruiser if I can't actually hit anything.

Luck reroll:
2d10+50

[Snapper]

Luck re-roll:

2d10+50


Actually goes up a point, sweet!

Better increase his Obs, that would be a logical move for Skipper. Obs +10.

As random luck would have it, was browsing in my local bookstore today, coffee in hand, when I spotted a new release from the Rivers of London series. "Among Our Weapons", I think.

[jp1885]

It’s a great book, though I recommend starting with Rivers of London and working your way through the series if you haven’t read them first.

[Trivun]

I'm actually reading Amongst Our Weapons now, currently about a third of the way through it (and just read the latest in the comics series as well, Deadly Ever After). AoW actually does have reference to the jury-rig of phones to survive magic as referenced in our latest case, it's actually a hard ON/OFF switch that cuts power fully from the battery to the microprocessors that's described as being a bugger to engineer at first but worth it in the long run. Plus we don't have to worry so much about the Airwaves being dusted because they come from the Folly's budget, not our own pockets
