Up for anything here, chose Gone Fishin' because it hits be deep in the nostalgia. Many of my meals growing up were caught in the creek--though a lot of that was shrimpin' and crabbin' over fishin'

Funny… we were just talking about fish in my ESL1 class. So, I’ll second Fishing.

Alright, Gone Fishin' it is! I've created the thread for the new chapter. It is locked for now until everybody chooses which character they want to play. One person must play Sal and another must play Parish, and the others may pick any other guest or resident. I'll pick up either Sal or Parish if nobody else wants to play them.

If no one else wants Parish, I'd be down.

"What ho! 'Tis the day that I shall conquer the legendary Sabretooth Catfish! Haha! Have at thee!" Parish brandishes a bamboo rod with a flourish and strikes a pose before his buckethat falls over his eyes. "Ahem er... though we may be better satisfied with a basket of crappie and bluegill."

This good energy?

Perfect Parish energy! Love it. :D

I think that, while Sal is fun to play, I want to finish up advancing Amelie’s journey!

"Ah and a journey indeed! Atop the crest of the mountain, by a cave of ill-repute, stands a crystal clear (well maybe foggy quartz clear) lake. It is the perfect place to begin or end a journey! Perhaps a lake-maiden shall bequeath us a sword or a fish we catch shall bargain its life for a wish." Parish holds his webs hands together with an old rapture before catching sight of himself in Amelie's reflected surface. "Or, perhaps, we shall catch a meal that will make the old witch herself crack a smile, hm?"

I’ve unlocked the chapter so everybody can start posting. Remember in your first post to indicate whether you think fishing is a sport or a pastime, and come up with one or two cards to add to the fishing pile.

I think it will be fun for Ichor to bond more with Amelie so I will play it, along with either Sal or somebody else, depending on Redcroc’s choice.

Alas my work day is over and I have many appointments this evening. I shall, however, dive right in on the morrow if no one else has had the pleasure of being our opening act!

I am fine with playing Sal! I almost picked him for the last chapter so that works out. LOL

Also, @Dmbrainiac I do want to put the 2 points into Hey Kid's mature track and then 1 point into Creative and the final point into Deep. Thanks!

Based on Hey Kid's current radar chart, we'll follow the instructions for Creative and Cool. @Redcroc, you may choose which 3 Bingos and 1 Whoopsie to replace.

I'll choose Viv as my other character besides Ichor. I'll get my posts up later this morning. :)

Sorry y'all been a busy day, plus I just found out 40 research monkeys escaped from a facility near my hometown? Will try my best to get the post in once I'm out from under a tower of paperwork.
Nov 8, 2024 9:01 pm
No worries! Take your time!

I saw the story about the monkeys earlier this morning. I’m pretty sure that’s how the Planet of the Apes began...

Posted! And year haha you are like the fifth person who has said that. Lordy the south is a weird place...

Edit: Also posting as Parish made me the happiest I've honestly felt in weeks. Thank y'all for this opportunity.

Trust me, I know all about weirdness. I live in Florida.

You’re welcome! Everything about this game makes me smile (and sometimes cry, when we get to the heavier chapters).

Edit: I didn’t see any specific Bingos or Whoopsies in Parish’s intro post. Remember for this chapter, you can’t do a Bingo unless you spend a token, and you can’t get a token unless you do a Whoopsie.
Nov 8, 2024 9:31 pm
Ah… I didn’t whoopsie (yet), but I eventually will. For now, I edited in fishing being a Pastime.
Nov 8, 2024 9:33 pm
No rush! It’s a relaxing chapter! :)
Nov 8, 2024 9:45 pm
Whoopsies and bingos are basically situations where a character’s innate traits either solve a problem or create a problem right? Even if it is something as simple as being paralyzed by indecision.
