Re: OOC and character building

There doesn't need to be one every time the Team is in a fight. For example with what happened with the last fight it would stand to reason there was not time for there to be a scene. Everyone was likely ushered back to the bus which was taken back to the school. From there the Team did not have the opportunity to discuss it before school was let out. Who knows, maybe some of them were picked up by their parents after being notified about the attack.

Re: OOC and character building

Actually... As far as things go, the post-fight mechanic is an important one. The problem is, however, much like Rook put it. There wasn't time, really. Let me put my head to it, though; I'll probably allow for some post-fight stuff if you guys want to have a separate thread for it, and can come up with a reasonable time and place for it before the next morning. Sound all right?

Also, wanted to put this out there: Everyone in game has been really good with their prose, and also really understanding with a GM who often stumbles, and I really appreciate both. Thank you, all of you.

Re: OOC and character building

I think that would be problematic at least for my character and possibly Broadside. Our characters have both referenced in the new threads about not seeing each other or even able to talk about what happened during the heist. So there would have to be a reason for them not to talk about it without it feeling forced and I can't see Rook not broaching the subject.

Maybe for the post-fight scene this time there's a thread where we each post our character's reflecting on the day. The mechanic doesn't require us to talk to each other for it be used. This way at least people can decide to grow closer to the team or away from it while not having to backtrack or editing any posts that's been made so far in the current threads.

And GM, don't sweat any stumbles you might have made. I've done it plenty of times when I've run games and it happens to everyone at some point. You're doing a great job with the game especially with how many players are in it. Thanks for making this fun for all of us and giving us a place to play this awesome characters. :)

Re: OOC and character building

In reply to Rook (msg # 903):

I second that, to all the points made.

And I'll add that perhaps we can all end up meeting toward the end of the current day? I would say lunch, but Warp's interval establishes his interaction with someone not on the team and potentially not in the know.

Re: OOC and character building

Thirded... and we do need to do the regular end-session stuff, but perhaps we can do that during the intervals? They are an opportunity to reflect, after all, along with other things.

Re: OOC and character building

Okay. So, what I'm going to do is this: Obviously, I've made the threads for different characters (or pairs of characters), but if you guys want to meet at the end of the day, or talk to / interact with specific people, please make a red tag for them in your thread. This does mean you'll have to read each other's threads, but I assume you're already doing so.

Responses to current threading will be up either late tonight or tomorrow morning.

Still waiting on Nenanero and Warp, but will fill in the scenes for the others.

Ah, I thought you were going to reply to Abigail. I could go before that if that works better for you.

Please feel free to do so. I'd like to at least get Nena's reactions to things before I kick off.

Re: OOC and character building

Rook:
OOC: For a scene with another character Fatima and I want to have one where they talk either during the school day or at the end of it so they can return to the conversation from yesterday.


Totally agree with this. For the sake of expediency, it's probably better that I set something up for you in 'my' thread so they can talk before Fatima gets on the bus. The other option is that they talk at lunch, but then I'd have to wait for the end of whatever conversation Josep's having with his dad, and that sounds like it's gonna be important, so I don't want to rush the RP just for my sake.

Besides, the thought of Fatima being so weighed down by this that she's too deep in her own head and makes a stupid mistake on her formatting...oof, I feel that.

So, tomorrow afternoon-ish, I'll post and tag Rook in on the thread so they can have a heart-to-heart and hopefully get some weight off their chests.

Re: OOC and character building

Okay, I wanted to say I'm going to refrain from responding in your thread because I feel like there's enough going on in my thread it might affect how Rook handles the rest of his day.

Trying to move things along so cross-threading can be more viable.

Sorry if it sounded like my previous post here was me complaining or anything like that GM. I didn't mean for you to feel rushed or anything like that.

Re: OOC and character building

I sort of love how the rest of us are mired in teenage angst, and Abigail and Nena are over there being all happy and wholesome. It's adorable.

Re: OOC and character building

It's quite simple:

Pancakes. Nobody in the history of humanity has been mired in angst while eating pancakes.

I mean, I'm sure there's probably some other reasons. At the end of the day though, it's pancakes.

Re: OOC and character building

What about somebody who desperately wants crepes and is stuck with American-style pancakes? I can imagine angst in that situation.

What Sophia is saying makes sense. That could cause some serious angst.

Re: OOC and character building

In the Hellboy comics, during one of the 'little Hellboy' side-stories, it is firmly implied that pancakes, and HB's love of them, is what broke him 'forever' from his destiny among his fellow demons.

Two brief announcements:

1) We have a new lurker. Say hi to Lurker 6.

2) I'm a wee bit under the weather, so updates may be slowed / delayed. I apologize.

hi to Lurker 6

Also, I'm going to packing / moving most of this weekend, so it's okay if everything else moves a bit slowly.

Good luck with your move! And hello to the new lurker.

I've been a bit busy lately. Will respond.

School prep and my kids' first week has swamped me. I should have something up in the next 24 hours. 'Pologies for the delay.
