Works for me. Any earlier and the time between Loop and Flood becomes too much for our purposes

Alrighty, I'm figuring out last details (and a picture) about my lil rocker. Need connections. Got bootleg motley crew TDK to trade.

Sure thing, as soon as I get the chance to get on my computer. Probably after my little one is fast asleep 😜

So, defining relationships is what most of us have yet to establish? Cause I have a question; I have a pride of standing up for someone and maybe what Ridge proposed. Do we need a direct connection with all or it could be indirect (a friend's friend etc)?
Probably have an npc relation as well.

We should probably all have some connection or some reason to hang out with each other, right?

@KCC, is the setup for the adventure we'll be playing one where we are thrown together or should we figure out how we are all connected in at least some way before we start?

The start of the adventure will be you all catching up after some test-taking before Christmas break! You’re a friend group, or at least all connected enough to at least talk to each other after school. Maybe sharing a school bus, or family connection maybe if the gap is pretty huge. The Nerd with the Jock cousin who looks out for him type of thing!

Schools out and you want to go hang out with the guys before mom gets on your case about cleaning up before the Christmas visitors arrive!

This is a test!

and a rickroll

Ok, all I need is a connection (direct or indirect) with Bowl's character and I'm pretty much ready I think.

[edit]
This should have been on character creation? I'm getting confused xD A dedicated discord could come in handy (Yeah Q, I suggest that to everyone.)

We do have the GP: Tales From The Loop channel, and we're the only crew using it so far. If that changes, a dedicated server might be apros pos

Also, GP now has a YouTube tag.



So you can embed videos within a post and play them on the page.

Cool on the YouTube embeds. Not so cool on Rick Astley. C'mon, I already had to live through that once! ;)

Question on our location. I see Boulder, Colorado listed. Very different than Boulder City, Nevada. Purposeful change? Snows a lot in Boulder, for example, and hardly ever in Boulder City...

Haha, oops. I was listening to the song Highwayman this morning and Boulder Colorado was in my head. Will change!

Another thing, the Flood canonically happens around Christmas 1994 and the Hoover Dam Disaster in early 1995, so if we're around 11 in '85 now, our characters would be too old by then to be characters.
Unless we move some of those dates around, which I'm not opposed to. Just something I thought to mention

Okay. Amended!

Yea, Things from the Flood has a very limited time frame it can happen in according to the lore in the book. I think only between 1995 and 1998.
But as I said, I'd have been fine with saying "In this game, the Flood happens in '92" or something. I don't mean to be an "Uhm, actually"-type nerd 😄

Uhm actually, you are that type of nerd. Pysch!

Yeah, I've seen a couple of actual plays do what we're planning -- take kids from the Loop to the Flood, and in at least one case they just breeze past that the kids are now early 20s... and it didn't seem to affect how the game played at all.
