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?

Just so everyone knows, I'll be away on vacation from February 10-21 with little to no chance to get on the Internet, and again from February 24-27.

Yes, as a matter of fact. :D I'm going to London for the first, longer trip. The second one is to a gaming convention much closer to home, in New Jersey.

Sorry I've dissappeared again. I've gone on vacation in southern China. I should be back around February the 4th or 5th. I'm sitting in a hostle right now. I've just been out to a bar and I'm somewhat drunk, so I hope this includes everything I mean to say.

Anyway, later.

Thanks, I'm sure I will! I also just got a smartphone that has global Internet access, but I don't know how much time I'll have to update while I'm away. Normal posts will be difficult but not impossible; however, I won't be able to do things like copy and paste links from Invisible Castle rolls.

I'll be away at a convention on July 6-10, and my only Internet access will be my phone. I also won't have a whole lot of free time, so there probably won't be any posts. I will be able to post before I leave on the 6th and after I get back on the 10th, however.

I'm going away to a convention this weekend, so I probably won't be able to post before Sunday night, possibly not until Monday night. The following weekend is a three-day weekend, so I'll have more time then. The weekend after that, I have another convention. The following week is Thanksgiving, and I'll only work the first half of that week. After that I should have plenty more time.

Invisible castle appears to be down (for several days now) :(

Is there a GM approved alternative I can use for my roll?

Dark and Moody Forums has an online dice roller at the bottom of the page; make sure you check the "Log ?" checkbox so that it records your roll. You can really use any dice roller you like, or even real dice, until Invisible Castle comes up. If you do that, you can just put the results in a spoiler button.

Thanks. There's no need to NPC you, since you're in a thread by yourself. I'll just wait until you return.

I'll be away at a convention between Thursday afternoon and Sunday night, so there probably won't be any posts from me during that time. I might not be able to post Sunday night either, so it may need to wait until next Monday night. I have taken the entire week off from work, however, so I will be able to post during the day until then.

All caught up on Barney's story. Just don't really know why he was waiting for Mary at the bar. You left him studying in the library. I assume he is still there.

Actually, I'm going to move him forward to evening, to catch up with the other active players. Barney did have an encounter with one of the other PCs in a different thread, and I'll fill you in on that and set up a new IC thread for you, probably on Saturday.

Barney and the others were waiting for Mary in the hopes that she could provide more information, particularly about Brian.

There's got to be some backstory I'm missing then. Because Barney never recognized Brian before the bar scene. The whole scene he was apparently waiting for Mary - and if their only connection is Brian, then I have to ask ... why would he even know about Mary to be waiting for her?

Anyway - it's water long under the bridge, just trying to make sense of it. So yeah, i'll look forward to the new IC thread, and if you could let me know what he learned at the library, and where he made another appearance, I'd appreciate it.
