Re: OOC Chat

Folks we now have four players, enough to start although we can fit one more in. Two of the players are without the rules so please bear with me while I go through the chargen.

Re: OOC Chat

We have three, maybe four players. Have bumped the add in PW, one more PC would be good. Will keep you updated.

Re: OOC Chat

OK folks, we have four firm, maybe five PCs. With four players known to me from other games, including a survivor from iterations 1 and 2 of this one! So without wanting to jinx the whole enterprise hopefully player attrition will be low :)

Am going to do the chargen for two players so might take a little time. Hope to have the first game post up by Sunday.

Re: OOC Chat

OK four characters are done, and a fellow student of Jonathan's will probably be joining him in London. And there is a cousin waiting in the wings.

I won't get round to the game post today, but will try and post a breif bio of everyone explaining their connection to Jonathan.

Except a game post by Thursday.

Re: OOC Chat

I was thinking that Yates could be an uncle, my mother's brother.

I'm not sure Jonathan has any need of an actual bodyguard. The Cavendish family doesn't seem to be threatened by anything and he's a pretty ordinary young man. He's not even Lord DeVille at this point.

By the way, if the family name is DeVille, Jonathan will be Jonathan DeVille, Lord (title) of (place) where the place is the ancestral residence. Can we fill in those blanks? Also, how old is the title and what degree. I presume they are only Barons, but the title could have originated with the grandfather (created by Victoria, who ennobled lots of soldiers and industrialists) or could be older, of course, going back as far as George III in the 18th century.

If the title is older than that, the rank would probably be higher, most likely Earl, created as far back as the 15th century.

Re: OOC Chat

Will do some research on the title.

I was also thinking a bodyguard doesn't really fit. Yates is in his forties and of the same social class as you. How about he is an old family friend who also spent a lot of time with Jonathan when he was younger, teaching him his love of the outdoors and skills such as riding and shooting.

He does feel a strong sense of duty towards you, as he was close to your mother, so was happy to come along at his own expense to keep an eye on you.

Works for both of you?

Re: OOC Chat

Very good for me.

I'm anxious to meet Kit, as well.

Re: OOC Chat

Well Kit is the Black Sheep of the family as he scandalously dropped out of college to write pulp fiction under a pseudonym. Don't know how old he is yet but depending on the difference they were teenage friends or Kit was the cool older cousin Jonathan looked up to.

I thought that Kit is also funding his own passage in order to follow up on offers with a few contental publishing houses. Jonathan's parents are none too happy about it, but then again he is family and George and Father Alden will be there to keep an eye on things...

OK with both of you?

Re: OOC Chat

Hi folks, looking forward to playing with you all.

GM, that sounds good to me.  I was thinking similar ages, with Kit maybe a year or two older.  Hopefully he and Jonathan get on well, even if some of the elder Cavendishes are less well-disposed towards him.

Kit hasn't just rejected a respectable career in favour of writing ridiculous books, he also chooses to associate with Bohemians and other ne'er-do-wells.

Re: OOC Chat

Jonathan's parents are dead. Thanks, man. (joke)

That sounds fine to me. I wonder how Kit and Uncle George will get along? Kit must be the son of mother's brother, since his name is Cavendish.

Hang on, George must be mother's cousin, not her brother, or else his name would be Cavendish.

Yeah, Kit would be the [son] / [bane of the life] of one of Mary Cavendish's older brothers.
