OOC Lover in the Ice

[HoneyDog]

Sure! I`d like to play Convergence if everyone is up for it.

[Mr. Handy]

I'd gladly play either. I've never played either one before.

[Zeppo]

Oops sorry I forgot to check the OOC thread. I'll pass on making a character for the second squad, thanks.

[leestriter]

Zeppo, I dig the crazed chainsaw Sarah. First really crazed character I've had as a gm.

[leestriter]

What's up with the colors for speech? I notice a certain shade of blue is common, do people just choose one for each character?

[HoneyDog]

I try to keep a different colour for each character. And a different colour again for their thoughts. No particular system though.

Poor Scott is about done.

[Mr. Handy]

I've been choosing a different color for each of my characters for about ten years. It's similar to how dialogue works in the old LucasArts adventure games, with each character having a unique color. I've tried to keep all of mine unique too, but I've had some repeats. Usually I like the color to express something about the character. For instance, police officers I play are typically some shade of blue. Sarah Carpenter in Ash had a particular shade of green that matched both her eyes and the scrubs she wore, and her father Lionel Carpenter had gray to match his suit, and because he's old.

Some players just use blue for speech in general.

I can't say enough how much I appreciate you guys gaming with me, I wanted to get back into forum roleplaying for years and finally having a community again is a godsend.

[HoneyDog]

You're welcome. Keep the scenarios coming!

[Mr. Handy]

You're welcome, and thanks for running it! Play by forum is great. I can't find or assemble a group, so this is the only way I can play apart from at conventions.

[leestriter]

What's happening guys

[HoneyDog]

Mr. Handy's at a convention so I've been waiting for him to return. In the meantime then, let's have Gavric check the basement.

[leestriter]

Mr. Handy, how was the convention? Sounds like fun.

[Mr. Handy]

Thank you, it was great! I went to Metatopia, which is centered around game design. I got to playtest a bunch of games in various stages of development.

[leestriter]

That sounds like a great time.

[leestriter]

Don't forget, two agents are still at the University.

[HoneyDog]

Yes, but one has just had surgery, so it's pretty unlikely he can assist. I don't know if Zeppo is still taking part.

[Mr. Handy]

That's true, and the other agent is also bat crap crazy. On the other hand, that combined with a chainsaw might be just what we need.

[Zeppo]

I'm still about, feel free to tag me in if you think I'm more of a help than a liability.
