Re: Adventure Auction

I need to get a post in, but it's been hard to make time for a few days now. I'll try to get something in tomorrow.

Re: Adventure Auction

Sorry for the delay, trying to get a post up soon.  Maybe later tonight but hopefully no later than tomorrow.

Re: Adventure Auction

Jesse's not really built to be The Outlaw Josey Wales, but I got this mental image of him walking out with the grocery bags...

I always rather liked the scene in High Plains Drifter where the Stranger just gives the elderly Native American the entire stack of blankets and there's a very brief look from Clint Eastwood that just says "Yeah, what are you going to do about it?"

If you've never seen the movie before, the town offers the Stranger anything and everything in the whole town that he wants to the store owner's chagrin, and the store owner doesn't seem to have expected this at all.

I think there's a line in the movie earlier that refers to the fact the local Indian tribe is dying from the cold and actually really needs blankets but I haven't seen it in a while.

Re: Adventure Auction

Oh, High Plains Drifter is quite good. Disturbing, but good. I read an article once about how High Plains Drifter, Hang 'im High and Pale Rider are all linked together by the same character. Basically Jed Cooper died in Hang 'im High, goes after his killers, then rides off to disappear... then re-appears as the Stranger in HPD, then goes on to the Preacher in Pale Rider.

Re: Adventure Auction

That actually makes sense in its way, because Eastwood actually regretted the implications of High Plains Drifter, and wanted to basically remake that story in a way that didn't make the townspeople look so mean spirited and cowardly.

But I've always seen High Plains Drifter as a Western Horror movie myself.

Re: Adventure Auction

Holidays can be rough around my house and this one's been rougher than any I can remember.  Not sure when I'll be in a mind to be able to post again but I will when I can.

Re: Adventure Auction

Unfortunately I think I'm going to have to shut the game down.  Have some changes and doesn't appear that I'm going to have much time for rpol in the near future.  I wanted to thank all of you for giving this a shot and helping me start to learn Savage Worlds; I definitely appreciate everyone's patience and entertaining writing.  Sorry we didn't get any farther.

Re: Adventure Auction

Kudos for letting us know, it's 10,000 x better when the plug is actually pulled rather than things just trailing off.  Thanks for the game.

Re: Adventure Auction

If the group wants to continue, I'll be happy to take over.
I'll just need a couple of weeks to get everything sorted out.

Re: Adventure Auction

Jesse if you're ready I can transfer ownership to you.

Additionally someone just reached out with interest in joining the game so you might even have a new player
