Fellas,
Thanks to all Players for sticking with it during this transition. I know it has been a bit weird and maybe annoying for everyone seeing continual "Note" messages on Admin as I'm working through Character Generation and narrative insert plans for new PCs. New players might be getting tired of all the back and forth on PM and Note function, and also might be getting worn out by all of the prep. I know I'm a psycho for background framing and realism on narrative, but bear with me just a little longer. I think we are very close to pulling this all together. During the coming week, I think (hope!) that we can all see some stabilization and maybe get our feet off the ground with a full 8-Player Roster.
Hopefully it will be worth it as these new characters come onto the scene with a bang, bringing with them some genuine gravity, a real place in the story, and also some strong history that explains why they are LEGIT.
For PCs already underway, you have a strong momentum built up and already some history, some together and some apart. Your story, I think, will begin to influence these new guys right away. And maybe vice versa. In any case, as always, it was fun to see the character choices. You can never call it ahead of time what everyone will do. A great dose of chaos incoming I think, which is my favorite thing about the game.
Now more than ever, I have no idea how Episode 2 will turn out. But I'm sure it is going to be a great ride.
Good luck, and thanks again!
J
