The Setup Thread

Ok here we'll discuss characters and expectations

Ok, here's the characters for you to choose from. As the first two in I'll give you first pick:

The Landlord (or Landlady)
The Bookshop Owner
Nosy Neighbor
Business Associate
The Tough Guy/Dame
The Beat Cop

Bookshop Owner just screams at me immediately.
Second choice (and completely against type) is the Tough Guy.

Great choice!

Business Associate sounds fun! I could also do beat cop, although I can't promise I wouldn't infuse them with a little bit of detective :P

And why not? The bibliophile will certainly be living out his Hercule Poirot fantasy.

Great. You can both take your first choice and I’ll drop your character details privately. From there you will need to set up a 7e character sheet, copy the stats over then add your own flavour. Players often Google 1920s portraits to get some cool black and white character images.

I’ve decided to remove Beat Cop and run that as an npc if the need arises.

I've set up your own private character threads which no-one else can see (hopefully)

The new MtG set is all Roaring 20s Gatsby-inspired. I've already found a nice pic. :P

I can only see my thread so I think it's working.

Thanks for the confirmation!

Can I go for the tough guy?

I'll be the landlady!

Great. I'll get your private threads set up later today.

Looks like we’re going with 6 then. This should be interesting.

How do you all feel about posting rate? I’ve set it to 5/week in case anyone doesn’t play weekends but I’m ok with one per day. What does everyone prefer?

I'm good with either, preference towards 1/day.

I'm good with anything. I can usually get a post in every day, but there are weekend days, particularly, where I get pretty busy. On occasion I may miss a day, but I give full permission to make decisions on my behalf if it'll keep the pace of the game.

Private character threads up. Waiting on one more, potentially

5/week sounds good to me, I haven't done PbP in a while so I'm not sure I wanna commit to 1/day but I could probably do that if that's what everyone wanted.

No pressure. I think we’ll leave the expectation at 5/week, but if people want to and are able to post more frequently, I won’t object.
