Likewise man. I know that feeling.

Maybe Dragon can keep you in a private thread for awhile until things calm down? Just move at your own pace?

Well, I can tell you one thing that'd be really helpful: separate NPC profiles.

As it is, everything just in giant walls of text, and I cannot for the life of me follow the conversations that have happened since new characters started getting introduced, because I constantly need to go back and figure out who's referring to what in what post.

That's a part of what's kept me from posting: I look at the basic post, and feel overwhelmed by all the information I'm supposed to be keeping track of or responding to. And after a long day of work, my brain just kind of shuts down rather than wanting to try organizing it all, so I put it off until later.

...At which point there's another five or six posts and I get even *more* lost. At least with separate NPC profiles I might be able to keep track of the conversations, you know?

Thank you for the suggestion. I have been experimenting a little with separate NPC profiles behind the scenes as I want to use those. At least for the NPCs that stick around. I have never before used this many characters in this short time that the PCs are going to interact with. At least in other ways than a short term fight. So this is new to me.

I want to use faces on the NPC profiles, but I have already given them faces in the text and I don't know if there are suitable images available on Rpol. Do you know any images for Gal Gadot, Emma Stone, Mia Kang, Liam Neeson, Alfre Woodard, Keanu Reeves, Sophia Ali, Priyanka Chopra, Eli Santana, Yvonne Strahovski, Brad Pitt, Oluchi Onweagba, Mike Colter, Samuel L. Jackson, and a male and a female monstrous vampire?

Or do you know of any images we can use instead?

I did a keyword search for each person and didn’t find much. Perhaps if the portrait does exist, it hasn’t been tagged.

Emma Stone: http://rpol.creativelass.net/fmb465.jpg

The only portrait I could find from a “Liam Neeson” search (good for a monster): http://rpolportraits.shannara-rose.com/mcm150.jpg

Keanu Reeves: http://rpolportraits.shannara-rose.com/mmc241.jpg

Brad Pitt (other than Abe’s portrait): http://rpolportraits.shannara-rose.com/mmc347.jpg

Samuel L. Jackson (as Mace Windu): http://rpolportraits.shannara-rose.com/mfr126.jpg

I’d be happy to submit suitable portraits for uploading, but I think they’re only accepting one or two per person per month right now.

I didn't know that there was a search feature. Thanks!

There's also the option of finding the images out on the web and putting them in the description with the following code:
<img src="http://website.com">

(the quotation marks are part of the code and need to be there)

Thank you, let's try that too.

I added Emma Stone's photo to Isabella. The other images didn't work with the character, but I'm grateful for your effort!

I've added images in some descriptions. I haven't found any "good" images for the other possible sires.

Grats to Dean on getting the first superpower (beyond all of you guys' strength and my amazing hair).  I can't wait to start learning things too!

Because they were near death, it made sense to go here first and get them started.

We have characters in three different threads right now and there will be a mix of flying solo and a mix of being together as we move forward.

Some questions have been answered, but other answers are still mysteries.

And our current NPCs have their separate identities now, so hopefully, that will be helpful as we move forward.

I absolutely understand and have no problem with it.  Dean and Jack definitely earned this with their weeks of patience for us to get here.

I'm just excited about things. :)

So am I.

Thanks Abe.

Also very excited to see how each of the stories proceed, both individually and as a group.

Very curious as to which Clan Jack ends up with.

I'm racking up the post count, making short posts as different characters, instead of making a longer post as one. I hope that makes this easier to follow.

It sort of rolled on its own. I wasn't expecting to see the Baron or that the Schimba would be walking out. That just happened in the moment.

I was recently reminded of the rules this site has for the mature rating.

"Mature games are games which have (as some minor portion of them) mature themes, strong language, drug use, and/or extensive violence.  Mature games use the Mature Content flag to warn potential readers that some of the game material may be considered offensive.  Despite this flag, Mature Games must remain suitable to all ages."

Those who have let vampires drink their blood have displayed some characteristics that may be similar to drug use. Depending on what route we choose, some of the themes of this game might be mature, whatever that means. How much violence is extensive?

And even if we decided to give this game the mature rating, there would be no strong language, as I'm not a fan of swearing.

So having said that. What do you think? "Mature Games must remain suitable to all ages."

Is this a game that would be considered mature? Or is it going in that direction? And if it does, what changes by giving this game the mature rating. And will that change how you play the game? Or if you are willing to play in this game at all?

You may respond to me in PM if you prefer.

I think the switch to mature shouldn't change the game, but that it would keep the game in accordance with the site policies.  For some reason I thought we already were mature, or I'd have poked you about changing it after the truck stop scene.

Yeah, I know I have had Dean curse a bit in the past.

I can knock that off if you prefer, but given the nature of the game a Mature eating would make sense.

The game rating has been updated to Mature.

Meant to ask with my last post: what time is it in the epilogue thread?

Right after you left the club. Or in other words, when that scene started, was just after you stepped through the portal in the club.

Right but are we looking at around 7pm, 9pm, later?

It's a little after 2 AM.

Forgot about the unconsciousness thing in my post.  Oh, well.  Sleep is still good.  &#128539;

It still has been a full day. And now Sparrow has her first chance to talk to Tom in private.

That too.
