The flowery-er, the better! Loving this game 😂

I was away at an event I was running the past few days. I thought I had given you all a heads up, but it seems I didn't - my apologies.

I'll try and catch up now. Jo wanted to borrow Blaine's books and have a read. Also research Cobb's Corner from an anthropological/archaeological perspective - would it be okay to post that in the older thread?

Cool, so is it okay still to post in the library thread? Asking Blaine for more time with the books and researching in the library?

If the latter is ok, I'm not sure if that's more library use or anthropology. I guess the former?

Yeah, that's perfectly fine with me. Let me know what you want to research and roll what you feel matches up best. We can assume this happened before the ride to Cobb's Corners.

Sorry for my absence, it's been a busy few days. I'll update on here later today and catch up.

@MrCyan, @SamIAm, @radiantskys are you still with us?

What happened to the '1 post per day'? 😅😎

@MrCyan,@SamIAm I'll put you both in the second car.

I will continue on with the story. No worries if you don't have time to respond. We can just assume that you are there, but a quiet observer.

@radiantskys has not posted as of yet. I will send them a DM to see if they are still interested. There is still room in the car with Ellis if you want to jump in.

Please post here, or DM me, if you have any questions or concerns about the game. It's our story. I am happy to pivot if it's not hitting the mark.

Very sorry - I came down with a particularly nasty cold/medium flu after mingling with lots of people. I had to focus on keeping up with work stuff as a priority. I hope I am back now.

No worries SamIAm. I'm just happy you have not decided to quit.

radiantskys did not respond to my email. I am just going to drop him from the game.

I was not planning to repost, but I'm happy to bring in another player if someone has a friend that wants to join. I'm also okay to continue with four players.

I fear we may have lost MrCyan. He hasn't been around for 25 days. I sent him a DM on Monday, but he hasn't responded. We are down to three players. What do you think about me reposting the game to see if anyone wants to join? I am fine with continuing with three, but would worry if we lose another.

in my personal experience, PbP works a lot better with less players. All you need is 3 responsive players to advance the story.
(in fact, my personal sweet spot for my PbP games is 3 players + GM)

Your call!

That is good to know. Thank you very much for the feedback. I am still very new to PbP, so I wasn't sure if more was better.

If we've lost Ellie from the game, it strikes me that she was my significant person. That's the problem with linking things into other PCs, what a pain.

Is it ok if I redo that Significant Person for Jocelyn?

Also, IIRC, we had farmed out social skills so as to have our bases covered. What was Ellie's?

Absolutely. Feel free to select another significant person.

Ellie was strong in the following:
Art/Craft Writing 40 (maybe could’ve used that for the picture)
Charm 40
History 40
Library Use 60
Psychology 50
Occult 30
Spot Hidden 50

You should be able to view everyone’s character sheet at the bottom of the page. Click on the name to expand the sheet.

I think that's only for GMs.
However, if the characters are set to Public (red book icon under My Characters), we can see each other's sheets by clicking on the name or on the portrait.

Maybe we can improve that as the campaign progress...ah, it's Call of Cthulhu haha

As for the book in German...I guess maybe this is where I define the language I understand. Makes sense with Jo's surname I guess

That works for me. It’ll still require time and rolls to read … and sanity, of course.
