OOC Conversation

I’m thinking both are true. She thinks films are going downhill, and so what if she gets paid. She speaks highly of whatever films she’s been in, and they’re probably crap.

Looks like the play's wrapping up. Everybody can post a bit more if they like and I'll officially put a bow on the chapter either tonight or tomorrow morning.

I'm giving everybody a bonus leftover to apply to their journeys or assorted tracks. That means this chapter ends with Demi Gorgone getting 1 leftover, Mr. Boggs, Gertrude, Parish, and Sal getting 2, and Yazeba getting 3. Viv also gets 1.

Neither Gertrude or Yazeba have a journey with a track on it. If they want to put their leftovers on the track for unlocking Wren Snow, those 5 will complete the track.

Yazeba is marking that she was mean to Sal and to a guest that didn't deserve it on her journey.

We end the chapter with a square memento. We could place it on the Front Desk shelf to unlock a new Guest, either Bethsy (a spoiled white cat looking for a treasure supposedly hidden in the B&B), the Darrowski Family (Lily, an exhausted young wizard-in-training, and her oblivious dad, Bill), or Rowan and Zephyr Lyranthiel (a pair of dandy elven bards with foppish and cosmopolitan tastes). Alternately, we could use it in Hey Kid's bedroom to unlock a new chapter, Snow Day (a Pensive chapter in which Hey Kid reminds everyone how to have fun in the snow, and reflects on whether they’re getting too old). Or we could put it towards unlocking one of the other Shelves.

We should also start considering which chapter we want to play next.

I hope the new players are having fun so far! :D

So Parish is now up to 10/12 on his track and I would like to see if we can get him to finish his track. So I would like to suggest Firefly Catching or After Dinner for the next chapter.

A bit overwhelmed and don't think I did as well as I could have. But I'll stick at it (assuming I'm not annoying folks) and see if I can get into the rhythm a bit more.

No complaints here. Happy to have you aboard.

@spinningdice Yes, you did great! Every chapter is different, so if this one felt a little wonky for you, maybe you'll groove more with the next one. :)

This RPG is cozier than I'm used to, but still fun.

Yes, it's very cozy and low stress. Just have fun with it. :)

Putting up a poll for the next chapter based on Verrain's suggestions.

It looks like After Dinner has the majority. I've posted the new thread. Feel free to choose your characters and start posting. We'll need somebody to play Parish and somebody to play Gertrude, while the rest of you can choose whichever character you'd like.

@Verrain you can have the first choice for Parish since you seemed eager to play him again. :)

Oh, and you can still write an epilogue for the play chapter if you haven't yet, should you choose to do so.

I've added the newly unlocked Wren Snow to the Guests thread. Probably not the best fit for this next chapter, but they're available nonetheless. :D

Sure I'll reprise Parish.

I'll play Rag-and-Bones.

Ooh, a bold choice, indeed!

Twirls mustache.

Cackles maniacally.

Where is that snippet from? I'm guessing nobody has played this dude yet, so he's still in bear-form?

He can arrive in whatever flimsy disguise you want. The snippet is just an example of how bad he is at this.

Lol, yeah, it’s just a little bit of fiction that’s scattered throughout the rulebook. Feel free to come up with your own "clever" disguise!

I'll pick up Gertrude again then... unless anyone else especially wants to.

Cool, we’ll just need choices for @Ysolde and @Legendary_Sidekick

Since this is a Quiet chapter, I won’t be playing a character this time, just providing some narration when appropriate.

Those of you who have already chosen a chapter may proceed with posting when you are ready.

@spinningdice you'll need to choose a question for Gertrude as well.
