The following thread is for players and the Keeper to reference during the game. The posts below contain the character sheets. Note that many characters have current Sanity scores that don't match their POW x 5. Existing characters from Chapter 1 gained some Sanity at the end of that chapter, and existing characters have also lost Sanity throughout the game. New characters will also often have reduced Sanity scores, depending on what they've been exposed to during the morning, before the start of Chapter 3. Characters' current HP totals are also shown.

In a separate thread I posted a list of each character's current location (divided by group), and then a list of every character's current weapons, ammo, armor, and skills that have been successfully used so far this chapter. A character that survives to the end of the chapter will get to make skill experience checks against those skills as per the standard Call of Cthulhu rules. I'll explain how that's done when we reach that point.

This thread will be locked, but as Keeper I will keep it updated to reflect the current situation. If players have comments or questions, you can use the Character Selection and Discussion thread.

Dr. Smith is an African-American doctor who is getting on in years. He is tall and carries himself with an air of distinction, but underneath the surface he is deeply worried. He had been in Cheyenne attending a medical conference when the outbreak started. He got out on one of the last commercial flights, which was bound for Omaha, but it was redirected to the airfield because Omaha's municipal airports were under attack and the city was quarantined. After it landed, the plane was commandeered and he was left stranded.
