Yeah, you can just roll a d6 now.

Now that everybody has a fish to keep, the Sundown track will automatically fill out and the chapter will start to come to a close. I'll let everybody post a denouement/epilogue before I officially wrap up the chapter. Then we'll turn our attention to Housekeeping. Viv will make progress along her Joruney. Amelie and Sal will both move on to the next stages of their Journeys, which I'll post here later today. Their excess tokens, plus Ichor's and Parish's, can go towards assorted tracks. We'll finish the one we're currently on to get a bonus Memento, then we can start marking another one. Perhaps we can work towards unlocking one of the two Guests from those tracks, either Alex Dullaghan or Edmund Wakeman.

We will now have a total of 4 Square Mementos and 1 Circle Memento, which gives us lots of options for unlocking things on the Shelves. I know Legendary_Sidekick has been pushing for unlocking the Utility Closet for more Amelie stories. If we want to do that, we'll still have 1 Square Memento and 1 Circle Memento we can use.

Sal's new Journey:



Amelie's new Journey:

Well… I’m more intrigued than confused…

Do I basically need to complete 4 Spare Journeys to make Amelie a real person with thoughts and feelings?

Yes, basically. You can either complete all 4 or at least start 4 and abandon some partway without completing them if it suits your fancy. :) Just one Spare Journey at a time, and it replaces Amelie's programming section for the time being.

Oh, I get it. If you complete a spare journey, you get a permanent Whoopsie or Bingo replacement.

Which is actually an incentive not to [CANCEL]..!

Some of the Spare Journeys also grant Mementos for completing them.

@unlawfulgames, hopefully you'll have more free time to post soon. :)

I’ve opened up recruitment again to see if we can get another player or two before the next chapter.

@Legendary_Sidekick did you decide which Spare Journey Amelie will pursue first?

@Dmbrainiac

Okay…… I think the smart move is to mix it up with a goal in mind, so while I’m tempted to have a bigger 4th spare, I’ll start with the shorter journeys.

Sleepyhead is a one-and-done. Shutterbug takes effort, but it looks like I can check off boxes as I RP Amelie, and I have to draw stuff!

So……… SHUTTERBUG! And Amelie got their film from A Weird Fairy.

Nice! Well, that weird fairy is probably Monday. You can write a little story about Amelie acquiring the camera if you’re so inclined. :)

I’ll update the Google document tomorrow morning. I assume we’ll want to use 3 Square Mementos to unlock the Utility Closet, which also unlocks the chapter "Shovels at Dawn." That’s another exclusive 2-player scenario with Amelie and Gertrude. I’ll play Gertrude and you can play Amelie.

In the meantime, we’ll also begin another scenario that everybody can play that doesn’t feature Amelie or Gertrude. I’m thinking a pensive one, either "Firefly Catching" or "A Mug of Winter Cheer."

Mug of Winter Cheer sounds good… though I may be influenced by the orchestral Christmas tunes I’m hearing from my youngest at the music school waiting room—which I now have to leave to deliver my oldest daughter’s Nutcracker costume.

LOL I see a lot of Christmas lights up around here already so I will condone it. ;p I even had the first holiday flavored coffee of the season so it must be time for Holiday Cheer!

I've posted the intros for both new chapters, which happen to dovetail nicely together, setting-wise. We'll need a Parish and a Yazeba for Winter Cheer, and as usual, I'll play one of them if they remain unchosen. :)

The Google document has been updated now. Take a look and see if there's anything else you want to unlock with our remaining 1 Square Memento and 1 Circle Memento. Otherwise, we can save them for later.

Still waiting on character choices for Winter Cheer. :)

I’m trying to yield to other players before I choose.

I was waiting to give any new players the first shot at choosing but I am interested in playing Yazeba.

No new players have expressed interest yet so we'll just play this chapter with the few of us and I'll try recruitment again after Thanksgiving.
