I was going to ask that :)

I'm actually away for work Monday/Tuesday, might get a post or so in but I also might not, depends on how busy we are.

In reply to Malcolm Unsworth (msg # 98):

No problem! You will be in a solo scene so there is no one to inconvenience.

The one about the bear mauling people to death at the National Park has Sandy’s name written all over it. If Mordecai and someone else wanna tag along, that’s what I would be interested in pursuing.

In reply to The Storyteller (msg # 99):

Runs Hans, they're sending me to a home. You'll be next!

Hans works for the park service, so he'd probably go with hook #3.

If that group gets too big, he'd accept assurances that some of these new folks would take care of it and go talk to the people in hook #1 instead.

Updated.


Also, Has anyone read the pre-made adventure "Through the Ebon Gate"? I'm thinking about adapting it for a scene.

Nope.  All I've read is the Sin-Eaters 1st edition (which I keep rereading to get some info to sink in) and I'm taking peeks into The Book of the Dead when curiosity takes hold (and time permits)... which eventually I'll have to figure out what Juste knows about.

In reply to The Storyteller (msg # 103):

No, I haven't read it.  Geist isn't a system I dare run, like most stuff White Wolf makes, so I stay away from scenarios.

In reply to The Storyteller (msg # 103):

I have not read it or any other scenario as far as I recall. Come to think of it, not sure that I've ever ran any scenario in a game that I've been an ST/GM for White Wolf, D&D or Pathfinder, so I have like ZERO knowledge about what's contained in these xD

Big Same. In regards to white-wolf, anyway. I have definitely ran Pathfinder and D&D scenarios.

Not one I recognise, had to blow dust off my one Geist book or this game though so I might have forgotten it if it's in the core book. About the only pregen adventures I remember easily are the Deadlands ones.

Has anyone been planning to approach the hooks 1) and 2)? I just see the 3) is full and skimmed over the social thread, haven’t seen anything related to story hooks, but might have missed it…

Both pull on different strings with Anne, so I’d be inclined to prefer anything that’s not going to be solo. If both will be, I’ll take another look and see which string is pulled stronger.

Pretty sure the bossman is going to do separate threads for those who bite on particular hooks, like he's doing with Malcolm.

What I meant with not seeing anything is that I haven't seen any hooks to bite IC, but I might have missed it by skimming over it too quickly.

Right, we post in here which plot hooks sound interesting (except for Malcolm, Juste and Linda - who have their own things?) and then the GM will craft an intro thread for you (and anyone else on the hook) and you get it introduced that way.

He's not introducing them in the social thread, that's just for this bunch of social misfits to stand around and awkwardly not stare at each other in.

(Did I get your intentions correctly there ST?)

I'm not on either hook 1 or 2, GM came up with a notion for me before posting those.

The social thread no doubt has or may have other hooks given we're interacting with one another and local Geists but the GM is keeping that thread running while we spin off in the others, they're not closing it as soon as we start on other zany adventures. As such I don't think they plan on putting hooks 1, 2 or 3 into that thread since they'll be starting them while it's ongoing.

And off the OC thread don't think anyone has expressed interest in 1 or 2 yet.

So, as nobody responded yet in terms of joining on either of the two hooks, I guess it's time for me to choose one nonetheless.

Anne's biting for the second one. Anyone hunting ghosts, there is no way she's letting this happen un"commented". Also, she has no lawyer "friends" whatsoever...

Hey all, quick post:

I assume you all saw my announcement; I have not been feeling great. Even now writing this, my head is heavy and focus is... difficult. I imagine I will be well enough to post tomorrow but no promises.

Yes, Juste. That is exactly my reasoning. ;p Haha no, in all seriousness the IC social thread is a place for you all to meet IC, meet certain NPCs that will be important later, and perhaps glean some upcoming plot hooks (one in particular has been given already)

That will take place separate from any of the IC plot scenes, which is taking place one week after the night of the IC social thread. So far, everything you all have said is correct.

I need more volunteers! Are we missing players? Is that why it seems so barren? I told you all I'm not fully lucid at the moment. Forgive me if I'm imagining some of you ;p

Also, thank you for answering my question about pre-made stuff. From what it sounds like, i'll be able to use a bunch of pre-made stuff to pad the run time as it were... ;p


I will begin the scenes for Juste, Linda, and plot point 3 as soon as I am well enough to do so (again, hopefully tmrw), anyone else NOT in a plot?

Damn? I knew I must have missed something.

Gets back to reading that thread again...

Yup, take your time, rest up.  Better to rest and get well than to push it and crash because you're pushing yourself.

Attention Riley Mercier and Stephen Wiles. You have been inactive way over the agreed time and have not posted in OOC. Please make a post here within the next week or you will be removed from the game.

What's an active defense?

It is the lower of your defense or wits, unless you have a merit that modified this. In addition, if you have an ability that gives you armor (e.g. the shroud) activated, add this to that number. I subtract the total from an enemy’s attack roll.

Not and fit Active Effects.  Not on the Bio Lines anyway.  I'll have to put Conditional Effects in a Spoiler tag at the bottom of the post.  Which honestly they'd be the most likely to be absent most of the time, so dropping it down there should be fine.

Guess it might be the right time for Anne and myself to learn. Would the Stillness Caul be beneficial in this situation? The Stillness Shroud would make it six dice instead of five, but require an additional activation roll... Hard to judge for me. From Anne's perspective this seems to be worth the risk of sneaking closer, so that's what she will be doing - just not sure if she'll hear a whispered "let me help you with this" before...
