I hope so. I am here now but will be away Tuesday to Tuesday of the coming week. (My planned absence has expanded.)

Back safe despite nasty weather.

Barnwell has not been active science may 13th. What should we at Barnwell manor do?

In reply to Angar Worthson (msg # 75):

Wait for him to show up.

Sorry folks It's been a crazy week and a half with my dau's HS grad and party, followed by work travel, followed by our little community's GeekCon this past week, and now on day two of three of travel.  Oh, then her community college AA grad on Saturday.  Goodness.

I plan to get a post tonight if possible.  Otherwise, tomorrow after I hay my lawn.  ;-)

Congratulations on your daughter's achievements. Obadiah is ready to go when the rest are ready.

In reply to Mathias Berhard Wendt (msg # 77):

Congratulations!

This is just an observation. The Barnewell Estate folks have been waiting on Barnwell himself He has not logged onto this game in 7 weeks. How long are we suppose to wait on a player who has obviously lost interest. To be honest, I’ve lost interest here. I keep hoping it will revive but really at this point I am at a loss. Consider me no longer wishing to remain here. Thank you all for having me. Goodbye.

In reply to Henrietta Van Ives (msg # 80):

Of course.

I am sorry to lose Henrietta,but I am afraid she has a point. Barnewell was set up as a main character, and if he is gone either he must be played as an NPC or we need to develop an alternative plotline that will include the people on his estate as well as those in the shop.

In reply to Obadiah Witherspoon (msg # 82):

Agreed. I can't post anything. I sould just be in the marketplace at this point.

If we want to start an adventure from the shop, perhaps those in the party there could find in a newspaper or book a reference to occult activity in the area which could lead to an adventure. Before taking the risk of investigating, they could seek more companions such as Angar.

In reply to Obadiah Witherspoon (msg # 84):

That's a good idea.

In reply to Obadiah Witherspoon (msg # 82):

I'll make him an NPC.

If Barnwell is going to be available as an NPC, perhaps after finding the clue in the shop, the party there could seek Barnwell as a potential sponsor for their expedition. He would probably not actually go along, but he could at least provide an introduction to Angar and anyone else still there who wants to go.

Sorry for the pause - the second graduation is in the books along with a few other things this weekend.  So, trying to find the energy to catch up on anything - this is the more enjoyable of the tasks.

I wanted to share this podcast -

https://www.benfranklinsworld....nary-print-networks/

It is about the world of printers, the mail, etc.  I listen to Liz often and i was pleased to be listening to this on Friday on my long round trip to a govt meeting here.

Some of the notes come from an online edition of the Pennsylvania Gazette that was published on 15 April 1770.  Here are the notes that I took:

Cruckshank and Collins - selling off of their merchandise, books and numerous journals.Papers, quills, parchment, fountain-pens and penknives.

Various estates, including a series of upcoming auctions at the London Coffee House.

Escape from the New Castle Goal John Thomas, also known as Richard Smith - 30 chillings

Remaining indenture of an English servant girl available for acquisition.

Mary Symonds, now near Chestnut Street between Front and 2nd St...opposite Joseph Saunders - She a millenry he merchant.

(15 Apr 1770 - Pennyslvania Gazette, pg. 4)

PS, GM, I posted my post in the Market Place as I was not sure if you wanted to create one for the print shop or not.  The other going out of business could be a good place to pick up an odd clue too, I suspose.

In reply to Mathias Berhard Wendt (msg # 88):

Neat.

Thanks for the news notes. John Thomas alias Richard Smith --whoever he really was -- might be a useful possibility as someone sinister to pursue.

In reply to Obadiah Witherspoon (msg # 91):

Good idea.

Should I go ahead an make a post?  Or, did we need to have a new board for this scene?

Been doing a lot of things so sorry for the pause.

In reply to Mathias Berhard Wendt (msg # 93):

Sure,go ahead.

I'm here

I'm here. Incidentally, I see DriveThru RPG is offering some more Colonial Gothic material.

In reply to Obadiah Witherspoon (msg # 96):

Oh, good!
