I messaged him, we will give him a little time and move on. We can always add him in later too.

Hey guys! Sorry I've been so sketchy lately. I've been in the process of moving a big campaign game from one site to here and in the meantime, two games in which I was playing suddenly sparked back to life.

February has been killing me work and responsibility wise, but I am genuine about wanting to play this game. If I could come up with a good character hook for my petty crook character, that would really make things much easier for me. I felt like we had lots of professor types and a night janitor with some nefarious underdealings might find a way to bully his way into this story.

Any suggestions?

I'm son of a criminal. You might be a pal, or someone my dad sends along to keep an eye on me? Or, you were in my dad's poker game as I was leaving and heard something that sounded interesting, so you decided to tag along.

A grifter who moves from town to town looking to make a quick buck? Somehow got involved at the University. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I guess I need a more immediate hook too. i.e. How do I get my butt into the Hudson? Do I follow in my own vehicle, a stolen delivery truck?

You could be a Roanoke local and fall in with us when we get there, perhaps we cross paths and Shark_Bone recognises you, if you want to take his suggestion.

Honestly, you don't need a fantastic hook. Anything will do that gets you over with us. We can totally wave away the "You seem trustworthy! Join us!" bit if we need to. Your character is a PC and so has more rights in the story than an NPC.

We can just write it in, you were with the group, just silent? You are maybe someone the university uses, "unofficially" to handle things from time to time?

Yes, I think that's about what I thinking too. Maybe as custodial staff I "saw" something once and I use it for leverage and get myself involved in anything that could be an opportunity for gain.

sounds good

I am going on vacation Friday-Tuesday and internet may not be there, so will post if able.

Ack, right at the first sanity check too. The suspense builds!

Sorry, I've been neck deep in neglected school work. I'll be back by Friday. And sorry I didn't say anything sooner.

I'm back... to all the troubles and tribulations of reality... and this game!

No worries, we definitely wait with baited breath... ;)

Hey all! I've been pretty busy with school and the Odd Fellows. I thought I would be able to keep up with the game, but apparently not. If it's ok with lunitar, I'll be back after finals, around June 12th.

ok, You seem to be catatonic from some mental break.

Hello. I am here. Since people haven't shared their characters, can anybody give me a rundown of the current cast with summaries/descriptions/archetypes/what-have-you?

From what I think understand there's some shifty, scrappy driver, a previous farmer who knows a bit more about the occult than most, some criminal type, and a professor? Is that right?

That sounds about right. My character (Barry Brennan) is in the library if you want to take a closer look.

I did take a look at him, thanks for sharing. Very interesting distribution of high and low stats. My rolls, comparatively, were fairly average.
