Re: Chapter 2: Have Fun Stormin' the Homestead!
RECAP: The result of the PM experiment was interesting. Without revealing each player's specific intentions, desires, or thoughts, the following describes the general inklings as if all y'all had sat around the kitchen table after the meeting in the front yard, jawin over a jug of fresh squeezin's about what's next for the lot of ya.
Those thinkin' to stay in the Valley for a little while (vague timespan, but a month or two seemed to be common) to help rebuild, before moving on:
Cole
Meri
Silas
Artemus (leaving sooner than a month, but not immediately)
A man thinkin' of stayin' in the Valley for at least that while, possibly longer:
JEB
Those thinkin' to stay in the valley for good (well, for long term commitment in any case):
Chance
Owen (& Abby) OOC: Did anyone ever get the anagram for their last name? i don't recall anyone mentioning it)
Hattie
A man ready to leave the Valley that afternoon:
Travis
---------------------------------
This gives us a good start for developing the back stories over the years. If you want to roleplay this a little, the natural thing to do would be for Travis to say his simple goodbye, as he wrote to the Judge in PM, after everyone else said his piece. Knowing what each other's druthers are, you could do some roleplaying here to establish the reunion 7 years later.
Feel free to roleplay any of that. The Judge will use any plans/agreements PCs want to arrange publicly, along with PMs between Judge/Player or Player/Player as well as the Judge's own ideas, to build and then set the stage for the next chapter of GTTM.
EDIT for a note about Artemus
