The Groovy Psychedelic Chit-Chat Lounge

July 1969 - a time of great turmoil. America is deeply embroiled in a hot war in Vietnam and a cold war with the Soviet Union, while on the homefront there is tremendous unrest as the culture undergoes radical changes. While astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins are on their way to a date with destiny aboard Apollo 11, life on Earth is becoming more and more confusing. Defenders of established traditions are fighting an increasingly losing battle against those who want change. Sex, drugs, and rock and roll are becoming more prevalent, and the threat of nuclear annihilation hangs over the planet like a shroud.

July 2009 - a time of great turmoil. America is deeply embroiled in wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, while on the homefront there is tremendous political division and the economy is in dire shape. A new president promises change, but can he possibly live up to lofty expectations? Crime has worsened with the economic situation, the scourge of drugs ruins countless lives, and the threat of another terrorist attack looms always in the background.

Strange events are happening that link these times together, and a handful of people find themselves caught up in them. Will they figure out what's going on before they lose their minds - or their heads?

I was away all weekend, and I don't have time to update tonight. I'll be very busy on Monday and Tuesday, but I'll try to update as soon as possible.

I'm going to be extremely busy over the next few weeks. I'm moving at the end of the month, so I'll be spending a lot of time packing, moving, and unpacking. I intend to keep the game moving when I can as long as players keep posting, but it may be slow until early January. You've probably already noticed some slowness. I'm sure some of you will also be very busy at this time of year anyway.

Hope the move goes ok!

I'm gone until the beginning of Jan and probably won't be able to post.

Take care, y'all!

I'm sorry for the long delay, but I hope to get this game started again soon. Hopefully on Tuesday night, but failing that, on Wednesday night at the latest.

Those of you whose threads have been stalled waiting for another thread, you shouldn't have too much longer to wait. I hope to get that other thread advanced far enough to start things moving again for you soon.

Hey, sorry I haven't been around, I haven't had regular internet connection now that I'm back at college.

I got on to say I'll be back soon, and that Nanonano63 will not, I don't think.

I room with him at college (we joined up so we could play a game together, normally I run the games around here at college, so I never get to play), so I can tell you he's got mononucleoses. Mono, may be a more familiar term, and as such, is sicker then a dog and not likely to be thinking about getting on here to post.

If he shows up, don't be shocked, I'm not hear to speak for him. I just thought you should know so your not waiting around on him. Hopefully the poor guy gets better soon. Got mono and strep throat at the same time. He's not real happy with the world at the moment.

Ouch. I hope Nanonano63 feels better. I'll NPC his character until he returns, if he does. If not, he can be written out of the story in such a way that he can join back in at any time. I've never had the misfortune to have mono, but I know it can last for months.

Don't worry about your lack of connection. Your character is ahead of most of the others and in a thread by himself, so you can take as much time as you need. It's a shame your two characters didn't meet yet, but that's bound to happen sooner or later if he returns.

I think he'll be better soon (week, maybe two), the docs are giving him crap loads of steroids. The mono's not dragging him down too much, its the strep. Basically his throat is half swollen shut and he has a sinus and potentially ear infection.

We(the other roommates and I) keep making Warhammer references about how hes's given himself over to the worship of Nurgle, but I don't think he appreciates them.

Sorry for the delay in updating, but I've been very busy this week. I'll try to get it done Friday night, or failing that during the day on Saturday.

I'm going to be at a convention this coming weekend, and I won't have Internet access (or time to get online, for that matter). After Wednesday night I won't be able to post again until at least Sunday night, and probably not until Monday night. This will also serve to notify those other Keepers whose games I'm in, as I believe all of them are playing in one or both of my games.

I haven't slept much in the last week and a half and I've been busy getting caught up. I'll be updating fully at some point over the next few days, so please be patient.

That's okay, take your time. You're in a thread by yourself and well ahead of most of the other characters anyway, so there's no rush.
