This, I'm not really sure what to do about the situation we seem kind of hosed.

Well, the main thing to find out next is what are the conditions by which the dream triggers.

We know it's not anytime someone in the special group falls asleep, otherwise Fletcher would have been affected when he slept.  So that means it's either a numbers thing, or it's triggered by one or more specific people.

It's more a matter of working through it in a logical matter in character at this point, and hoping someone doesn't die before we figure it out.

1.) Fletcher has the idea.  Just sorting through facts and trying something.  I was going for something not quite combat.  Different.

Feel free to guess.  Try.  Ask.

2.). It was my understanding that Crowboy and Mateo were looking for help from the rest of the Convoy.  I thought Kelly was right there with Harry.

Kelly, if that's wrong, just say so and I'll make sure Kelly finds someone.

Felt like a good time for the three PCs to discuss.

My impression is she was going out to the convoy, and Crowboy and Mateo were following her.

Yeah Kelly is out looking for any assistance or resources.  She's not a good enough "patchman (patchwoman?)" to keep dealing with this.

I have no idea if Harry is on the right track or not, but I figure I'd let folks know what Harry's thought process is. This might also help The Prospector gauge whether the clues he's been dropping are being picked up right.

Oh, and since what we're dealing with is essentially a mystery, I'd like to share one of my favorite articles on RPG mystery design -- The Three-Clue Rule: https://thealexandrian.net/wor...ames/three-clue-rule

I find this thing absurdly helpful in running my own games.

I really do like Harry's idea.  I wonder what his next step or plan is to prove/disprove the hypothesis?

Yep.  Its a good article.

I also really dig Gumshoe games.

I use a random adventure generator to give me bare bone structure points, then flesh an idea over them.  This one had non-combat problems for complications and obstacles.  Which really did seem like a good idea after the Iron Man.

I can say that there's no chokepoint, singular resolution.  I can say that there's multiple clues.  I can say that you have hit clues/information and I am not hiding anything or waiting for the right question or whatever.  But, as it points out in the article I know the whole story so what is obvious to me, might not be to you.  No clues have been missed and nothing is way off the rails.  If that's helpful to know?

It is supposed to feel like a grind down.  So...yay...  I succeeded there... Woooooo.

Especially with PbP games, I'm really okay with OOC discussion to make sure all the players are on the same page.  I mean the characters are right there and would have all the info easier than players might remember.

This'll be a Road Fight.   Because there's a convoy of armed trucks and Mad Max is cool.

So, what I really need to know is who is taking what position?

Mostly Driver, as I figure the rest will take positions on the trailer?

Other ideas are welcome!

With all his Fatigue cleared thanks to Fletcher, Harry has the best Driving, so I'm willing to take that spot.

I really should take Ace one of these Advances, to represent just how adept he's becoming at controlling the Dog in adverse situations.

I guess I can roll my d6 Notice lol

I've been at least trying to do a post a week, of I can't do better.  It has usually been Tuesdays.

It is not this Tuesday.

Still want to get one in this week!

We'll be here!

Yep!

Though we may be drunk

I didn't make it...  My already limited time was taken up with also planning for a trip.

I was hopeful, but nope.  And next week is the trip.  So.  Pause till I return.

In hindsight, probably better /not/ to start the chase/combat then go on vacation anyway.

Seems reasonable.

Good.  It makes me feel better if my inefficiency is covered by reasonable sounding rationalizations.

Hey, we've been with you this long. It's a slower-paced game, but it's still running, which is something.

Yep.

A little time ain't no thing.

I'm not exactly a fast updater either lol

I do still exist.  I haven't managed to get back to an update.

Felt I should at least check in though.

Yay! Still alive!

Something something the cake is a lie

Thanks for letting us know.
