Jacinta doesn't sleep much, either, so she'd be up during one of these shifts.  Stick her wherever you like.

I think two people on watch per shift makes sense.  And, being mad, sleeps oddly anyway.

So, Wayland will take the other shift.

How about, Wayland on the first shift with Kearney.  I'll get to use my Night Vision Goggles!!

Then Jacinta with Bauer?

That leaves KK with Cooper and Tamsin with Shabba...Shabbakasha.  That's a tough one.

Okay, based on further input, here is how I have the watch schedule now:

• 10 pm to 12 am: Dr. Ezekiel Wayland and Aileen Kearney
• 12 am to 2 am: Jacinta Castillo and Lena Bauer
• 2 am to 4 am: Albert Cooper and Kansas Kate
• 4 am to 6 am: Tamsin River and Shabbakasha

Bryan Lee and Andrew Roberts intend to sleep through the night. They’ll also be the one most likely to be eaten if something monstrous turns up at the campsite.

I’ll update the game shortly in light of this information.


Yeah, when in doubt just go with the English translation, ”Roving Wolf”. It’s easier. :)

Or, you can imitate Kansas Kate and just call him anything with “Wolf” inserted somewhere in the name. He generally seems to answer.

My licensing fees are very reasonable!

If there is any discussion that needs to take place in response to Murphy’s visit, I can leave the current scene open to accommodate it. If not, please let me know and I can move things forward to morning.

Either way, everyone kindly provide me a card draw. A single card, just as though you were drawing for initiative.

09:57, Today: Bryan Lee drew the single card: AH using the Deadlands system.  Card Draw.

So, I’ve been into songwriting lately, and I like to have whoever inspired the song listen to it first, which is all of you, so as rough as it is (kind of fits with the setting though):

Wow. I've never taken part in a game that inspired songcraft. Thank you for sharing that, Tamsin. It's fantastic.

holy shit

I honestly expected the last line to be "on the trail that we rode" for some reason... though that doesn't actually rhyme

I can add on another half :P

That's a lovely little bit of song, Tamsin. Thanks for sharing.

You know, it would really bring this campaign full circle if KK (standing in for the Reverend) started banging on the back door while Bryan sneaks up to the front porch.

:D

(Mainly for the moment at 2:13.)

Once the signal, be it physical or verbal or both, is decided on, I will dutifully move things forward to the next scene.

I'm passing out BJs to whoever wants one.  :D


01:09, Today: Jacinta Castillo drew the single card: BJ! using the Deadlands system.  Initiative.

A request: I’m very aware that many of us (self included) have a lot going on right now. That said, I’ve noticed that posting in this game has slowed considerably. I’m content to move at a slower pace if that’s what is dictated by everyone’s circumstances. But, this hobby is intended to be a source of enjoyment, not an obligation that adds to the stressors each of us is already facing. So, if it’s better to put High Lonesome on hold, or to bring it to a close, I’m assuredly open to that, if it is what the majority needs.

With that said, if I could ask for a roll call of those present, along with an indication regarding how you would like to proceed, it would be very helpful. Please be honest with your feedback. In the end, I want to move forward in a way that best serves everyone who’s still taking part.

Thanks.

I'm here and down for whatever!

As you said, I’ve had a LOT going on. However, I should free up a bit starting Wednesday as all my month end and quarter end deadlines will have passed, plus much of the extra work I’m doing due to COVID-19 also needs to wrap in the next day or two.

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this game and definitely will be increasing posting length, quality, and frequency in coming days.

I'm definitely still around.  Getting over my latest bout of sickness, which has slowed things down for me, but slowly getting better.  As I'll be working from home more in the coming weeks, I'll have more time to play.

I’m happy to keep going if everyone else is.

I’m on a temporary lay off so I have time; my family is still trying to adapt to being stuck at home all together but we’re getting there. In terms of posting, I’ll admit Tamsin specifically has been a weirdly difficult character for me but I still love logging in to see if anything’s been posted here.

I've got a lot going on these days, but this is a game that I am still very interested/invested in. If it is needed, I'll go along with whatever but I think things have calmed down a bit work wise recently so I can contribute more regularly than I have been.

I appreciate everyone taking the time to respond, and for your support of the game. As everyone has expressed an interest in continuing, I’ll do my best to get a new post up this evening, moving the posse further up the mountain.

Thanks again to each of you for taking part.

My apologies, everyone. I had a spike in work related concerns that over took me during the past week and weekend, which led to me being a bit slow here. Fortunately, everything has settled down now. I should be back to posting regularly from this point forward. Again, sorry for the delay.

No worries, boss. Glad to hear things settled down. I've had an extended spike for much of the year. Like you, things have recently returned to a reasonable level of busy.

Whenever I roll doubles, I want to "split" like in Blackjack.
