This still involves @Dr_B's Roderick as the Spine; I essentially tricked you out of a vast fortune. You thought you were investing in some growing merchantile fleet business but you only fueled a hazy, drug-addled binge that lasted a month. When you came looking for returns, I was in withdrawal and was cruel, vicious, and unrepentant. The whole family knows what I did and what I cost us for a bit of pleasure.
@KingHotTrash This works well for my character, nicely fueling Roderick's contempt for Alexander and predilection for @Squadfather44 's character.

Oh? How do you send notes to people?


Nvm found it. Never knew it. So cool!
you can. have you seen the bbcode guide?
It gives a good idea of the sort of things you can do (though not all has been converted to buttons)

@CESN, @vagueGM, and @bowlofspinach, I believe that my character is all set for now. I'm just waiting on what information I may have as people's Spine(s) or as their Bones, if any. Please check my Assets and everything else, make sure it looks good?
cool. I had a quick look and it seems ok. I'll review tomorrow again to be sure. I think Dr_B and Cettish are mostly done as well. crazybirdman, you already have the idea it's just "writing it down" right? Once we have the 5 skeletons, we can share the required information and finish up the backgrounds just to tie everything nicely before we start :D

Ok, so let me see if I got everything...

One of you is angry with KingHotTrash because he took the family money and wasted on opium and such.
Squadfather44 is ok with that

crazybirdman suggested that KingHotTrash found his secret so he could be making in spiral down into oblivion to protect himself. We need a reason why KingHotTrash would not just tell on crazybirdman to defend himself, but that can be sorted :D There was some previous talk about crazybirdman actually being KingHotTrash's dealer.

Then you guys decided to have KingHotTrash in crazybirdman's skeleton, which means Squadfather44 is the hater in KingHotTrash's skeleton. This may be a bit confusing but that's the idea right?

Indeed. Betrayed good ol' Roderick. My betrayal impassioned @Squadfather44's character and now he hates him/talks trash to Roderick to keep that angry pot stirring hard. Catherine is the one who advocates for Alexander. I think I might be @crazybirdman's Spine or at least, I know a secret that I may be using to pilfer his medical supplies for "proper dosing". Please correct me if I'm off of the mark.

vagueGM (despite the name) and I aren't really GMs here. We're just observing to make fun of CESN 😝

vaguely true

ok. So summarizing the skeleton relationships since we have these cool tables :D Maybe it helps if you're unsure who you already some problems with. I have a feeling I missed something ...

Claire Roderick Alexander Nathaniel Elias
Claire - 🦴 πŸ’€ 🦴?
Roderick 🦴 - 🦴 πŸ’€
Alexader 🦴 πŸ’€ - 🦴
Nathaniel πŸ’€ 🦴-
Elias -

πŸ’€= spine
🦴 = bone
May 21, 2022 3:28 pm
If Elias is Squadfather44's character, than he is my bone and not Nathaniel. With that being said, there is distinct lack of bones that other characters have on Nathaniel.
May 21, 2022 3:50 pm
Right! I forgot to mention it’s read the other way because its asymmetrical (rows are you, columns your bones)
May 21, 2022 4:59 pm
I see a ? behind one of the bones I made.

Guess I did not spread my bones enough.

I can maybe change bone 3 so there is on with Nathaniel. Need to give it some thought.

I am a bit confused too between Elias and Nathaniel. I can't seem to recall who is Squad or Bird.
May 21, 2022 5:25 pm
I have initially misread the table. Ignore my comment about my bones.

Elias is @Squadfather44.

Nathaniel is @crazybirdman.

So reading the table, Roderick is my Spine and Claire and Elias are my bones. I am the Spine for Claire and the bones for Roderick and Nathaniel.
May 21, 2022 7:32 pm
Ok. I think I properly finalize my bones now.

@CESN I have re-written Bone number 3. It is very clearly Nathaniel now. So you can remove the ? in the table.

I think everything is 100% set now for Claire.


I looooove these Skeleton mechanics. But geez, they are HARD to get right.
Maybe because it's the first go at the game. And things will go easier should we decide to play future generations.
May 21, 2022 7:46 pm
Play by post always seems to add another level of complexity to things as well. This probably, at a table, would be a thirty minute discussion to an hour depending on how in-depth people wanted to go.
May 21, 2022 9:43 pm
I am also still defining Roderick's third bone, working with the GM on that.
May 23, 2022 5:00 am
In the wait for everything to get settled, I have continued to look for music and stuff. I got one that made me think of the Rookwood's as a whole not that the Rookwoods would ever listen to such tunes!

As for Alexander, I really liked Quiet As A Rat.
