Out of Character (OOC)

I realize none of your PC's can succeed at a Knowledge roll to identify a Dhole, and its not really intended that you would. BUT, for you the players:

https://lovecraft.fandom.com/wiki/Dhole

As a proud Cultist, I most assuredly know what a dhole is... and I'm glad Axon doesn't. :P

It's outside the scope of our AP (at least as-written), but the suggestion is that whatever is plaguing the dreams of those in Briarstone are doing the same to this creature, long dormant under the island. That is the reason for the earthquakes that have destroyed the asylum. It's a fun explanation for it.

Yup, that's what I got, too. Scary.

Just a heads up, I'm on a family vacation this week. I still plan to post, but if I'm slow to respond I apologize.

Yeah. I'm on a vacation week too, but I'll still be around. I can't afford to go to carnival.

Hi everyone! Checking in - I know our pace has slowed a little in the last month. I've been somewhat ok with that because of SquadFather saying he was going to be gone for a few weeks, but its now been over a month and he still hasn't returned. I sent a DM to him more than a week ago and he hasn't replied.

I'm happy to keep running Elias and Ioseph, but I don't think that's viable long term (one yes, but two feels awkward). If SquadFather doesn't come back soon and you all want to keep going I would consider looking for at least one new player to take over Elias.

I don't think the game is conducive to bringing brand new PC's in and would keep that as a last resort, due to so much hinging on the amnesia / lost memories of the core group.

What do you think? How are you all feeling with the game? Are you happy to continue going with it?

I'm definitely here for the Lovecraftian long haul!
I say we give SF a little more time and, should he not return, recast with a different player if necessary.

I'm not too sure how much we have left of this asylum, but a couple new players sound good at some point.

If I had to throw a percentage at it, I would say we're 75-80% through it. Personally, I do really like the asylum and the story around it, but I look forward to getting to other stuff (particularly less claustrophobic and more open areas).

Duly noted on the additional players though - I'll give SquadFather a little more time then look into seeing who I can find.

I have opened recruitment and posted in Discord seeking interest.

Here is a link to the recruitment post, if you'd like to see it:

Please choose players who won't ruin our game.

I hear you. I have an idea of the type of people I'm looking for and will do my best.

Thanks for the support, guys! Equinox, I appreciate the assist in the recruitment thread. My thought: if you can't read the instructions, you probably aren't going to read the IC tread history either. Deal breaker imo.

Working out a couple things, giving Equinox another day or so to post, then moving forward. Thanks for your patience while I've been trying to wrangle some cavalry.

Umm? Sorry, I didn't know we were waiting on me.
