Award time:

*Everybody gets 3 drama points.  2 for the heroic battle, 1 in The Agony That is Life category for the death of Esperanza.

When you update your Drama Point total, don't forget to deduct the Drama points you spent during the battle.


*Experience points- Everybody gets 10 points.  5 for episode 1 and 5 for episode 2. I didn't award any at the end of Ep 1.  So here's a lump sum for Eps 1 and 2.

I will allow Exp point spending for attribute or skill improvement at this time.

So if you want to spend some Exp point and improve an attribute or skill, let me know.

If you don't have the Corebook handy, here's a quick summary of Attribute and Skill improvement cost through Experience points.

Raising an Attribute costs two times XPs of the new level.  So for example, raising an attribute from 2 to 3 would cost 6 experience points.  (3 X 2 = 6)

Raising a skill is the same two times XPs of the new level.

Buying a skill you don't have (going from zero to 1) cost a flat five points.

*You CAN'T buy a new language skill unless you spend a month learning the new language before you spend the points.

New house rule - effective immediately.

*Normal human characters (which is the whole cast) healing rate will be constitution level per day.

Corebook says humans heal 1 point per day, constitution level per day if under medical care. Under this rule, you'll get back constitution level per day whether under medical care or not.

Since 8 days will pass between episode 2 and 3, everyone will be back to full life points when episode 3 begins.

Good news.  Liam is ready to go!

Vampire minions... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_sWfE_0WLOg

You just can't get good minions these days.

I may get a chance to post tomorrow, but otherwise I'm out 'til Sunday 'camping' with a bunch of teens (and other adult youth leaders) from area churches.

I call it 'camping' because this group does it in cabins, at a conference center, with staff-cooked meals.  Still, it gets them to separate from their electronics and do some real thinking for 48 hours, so I call it a win.

Have a good time.

Yeah, if you can get a kid separated from their devices for a while, it's a good thing.

I'm about to transition us to 6th period gym class.

Hey all - family is within 30 miles of East Palestine and we're working on a big, fast move away.  Posting will be sporadic for the next little bit.

Thanks for letting us know.

Best of luck with the move.

Hey all, sorry about the low involvement of late.  Thank you all for keeping the game going!

I've had super limited time with working on the move after switching jobs fairly recently.  So I'm putting in my 40 hours around 500 mile drives to our new state and rebuilding our homestead from nothing but a few of the animals and open space.  Hopefully by April 1 (no joke) I should be back to steady, regular posting.

Wow!  Good luck!  We’ll be here.

Thanks for the update.

We'll keep things rolling here.

First we lose our Slayer, then our Watcher?  Did we move into another TV show about teens?

Guess I can share some behind the scenes trivia now.

Edward was never here for the long haul.  I originally planned for him to die in Episode 2.

He has a life point score of 30 and no levels of Hard to Kill.  He was designed for a quick and easy death.

I changed my mind about his death and will let him exit quietly.

The kids will be getting a new adult mentor.  Someone well aware of what's going on in Sunnydale.

Happy St. Patrick's day everyone.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!  I forgot and didn’t wear green.

Good for Mr. Hudson.  Got to have someone survive!

(Failed to hit send on this yesterday - so tired.)

Happy St. Patrick's!

I'm Irish enough that one half of my mom's family picked on the other half for not being Irish enough.  Wore orange and green today.

For anyone Irish, Christian or who ever studied early church history:

Thanks Billy.  I took a look at the video.


I wore my green socks yesterday.  And got a Shamrock Shake from McDonald's.

Yikes!  I’m glad I’m not on the cheerleading team!

I'm sure it's just a coincidence!

Welcome back Billy!

At the end of this episode, I'll be giving each of you 100 drama points and 100 experience points.

Not really.


Ha Ha!

April Fool!

Hi guys.

Bad news I'm afraid.

Things have gotten too busy at work and I'm going to have to shut the game down.

Game is on indefinite hiatus.

Don't know when or if it'll come back.  We've come back before.

Thanks to you all for sticking with the game for so long.

Game still dead.

It bugged me we never finished episode 3, but I was in no position to get the game going again.  Over the course of several months I slowly finished episode 3 from Brittany's point of view.

Here's the finished episode 3 now declassified for anybody who's interested in reading it.

We made it to page 9 before the game closed down last April.  The second half of page 9 beginning in May is where I picked up.
