Feel free to chat, strategise, and generally have a better time than your characters over here.

...all right, so the main map shows the maximum rock visible at low tide, the relative postions of the lighthouse, keepers' cottage, seal colony and boatshed (not to scale), the boggy patch in the middle of the lower side of the island and the shoals offshore.

Anything perplexing about said map or any maps you'd like to request whilst we're still setting up? I plan to do one of the cottage and maybe the [REDACTED] if I get round to them.

The island is roughly a mile end to end, maybe a little more, but Imperial scale defeats me.

edit: just checking for general safety's sake - neither of the players here are severely kabourophobic, right?

Helloo! Looking forward to this. :)

And no, thanks for checking! On the note of safety, please no burning alive. :( That is, like, the one trigger of mine.

Hello!

The map is outstanding. Very well done.

And no, I’m okay with crustaceans. I appreciate you asking.

It's mostly me skewing the real geography/geology of one of Nova Scotia's old outlying lights slightly out of kilter, but thank you. I take it you've no requests, in that case.

[of crabs] You may not be after a while on the island...in all seriousness, though, good to know and rest assured that I will intervene should any character attempt to immolate themselves or another being. I might sic Wrath* on them, even (Wrath is - perhaps ironically - not remotely flammable).

Glad to see you've picked yourselves some faces! Hoping to have the story up and running by early next week, maybe earlier if things work out and I manage to do the sleeping thing.



*This is just my game-notes shorthand for the entity: manifestations to be found in this game aren't really so simplistic and are highly personalised.

Ah, with apologies since I really should have done this earlier: I tend to summarise the past/interludes in past tense and play in present, but do my players have preferences? Me being here to faclitate and all.

I am fine with either, though I tend to use past tense myself?

And I will have a post out tomorrow!
