Me either, Haven will have a dream and suggest a solution if he has to. I look forward to what you figure out.
D Minor
Gentlemen please....... That is enough lollygagging around. Now Entertain me or I shall release the ninja hounds . We can't have Fortune playing with himself biggrin.gif wink.gif
DTFarstar
Waiting for Crit or Fortune, I'm asleep or having a private conversation while they are doing this so... I can't really affect much.

Fortune's always playing with himself. You get used to looking the other way.

Not quite the triumphant return yet. Sorry. I've finished Boot, and have the occassional internet access. I should be starting at my "A" school on the 12th, and should be able to get regular access at that point. Until then, I'll be a bit touch and go.

Glad to see you guys still posting . Really stoked to read what you crazy cats have been doing here the last couple of months.
DTFarstar
Guess you haven't checked the IC thread yet, huh? Crit and Fortune are.... frozen in the middle, I guess. Nothing has really happened.

Chris

Nope, haven't had the time to look it over. ATM, I'm Pay-As-You-Go for internet access. Should be able to buy wireless internet for my laptop after next payday, and we'll get thigns rolling after that.

Since my time on here is well... timed, mind filling me in with the cliff notes of what I missed? smile.gif
DTFarstar
Sadly enough, almost nothing. When you and I ended our conversation Haven got his shit together and decided to crash for a couple of hours. There have been exactly 5 posts in the IC thread since your last post, ending that fight Claymore and Tain's boys were in. Claymore asked Tain where we were going to meet up in the morning and suggested my place slightly over a month ago. Apparently Tain is really unsure.

Alright guys I've got regular afternoon/evening access from my library here on base, so I can get this going again. It'll be a bit slower until I get my wireless card, but that gives us time to get this back together. Can we get a head count please?
DTFarstar
I'm still here, for the most part.

Chris
Ol' Scratch
Ooh. I wouldn't mind trying again. Though I've lost all my old data and don't even remember, remotely, what my character concept was. But... that's just a minor obstacle, neh? smile.gif
fistandantilus4.0
Details details, as they say. I've message Fortune, but I haven't seen anything of him. Im going to start poking around Shadowland for Crit, and the Pub for the old man, and see what I can dredge up. I'm good to go on this game forever.

Doc, you were playing something akin to a mix between a chaos and voodoun mage as I recall. I can probably pull up the character if you want. smile.gif

That would be fantabulous.
fistandantilus4.0
As an update, I've sent Doc his copy, I've seen Crit lurking, and I have stil not seen hide nor hair of Fortune or Callidus. THe PMing will continue long enough to make sure people are at least still alive. smile.gif
Fortune
I'm alive!

At least I think I am.

But you can't bitch at me about the progress of the game. The last IC post was mine, and I pleaded fruitlessly with people for more contributions, both in the OOC and PMs. nyahnyah.gif

On another note ...

Bonus! Great to see you back. smile.gif
Lady Door
So, if we're doing this again... does this mean I can jump in with my Pixie? O.o *hopes*
Fortune
I think you should play Doc's Familiar. wink.gif biggrin.gif
DTFarstar
I just thought I would say I'm still around. Also, welcome back Doc and Plan B.

Nice! No welcome for me! Hmmmmph! I'll be sure to remember that.
Ol' Scratch
Yay! I want a familiar! And hey there, ass.
Lady Door
Hey Chris! smile.gif and what can I say, Fortune? People just remember me. biggrin.gif

No. I am sooo not playing your familiar. Who knows what kind of sick and twisted things you would have her do. *shudder*
Ol' Scratch
Why do you have to build my hopes up only to dash them away? frown.gif
Fortune
It amuses me. biggrin.gif
Ol' Scratch
This is Funk's seething hatred. <gestures>
Lady Door
Do we need to keep you two in separate rooms? Honestly.

Then we have enough for a game. With mostly existing characters no less! Just give me a bit of time to work out a game. I still have a general idea for feel, especially since I know two of the characters already. Where this will take place in continuity with the original Ancients, I haven't decided yet.

For those not aware, Crit is having some issues being able to be on regularly, as is Callidus, which is why the game is continuing to hold.
I may just push the "Ssuspension of Disbelief" button, run them congruently when/if possible, and rev this one up (once I have the plot line hammered out).
Fortune
Less talk! More killin'!
DTFarstar
Agreed.

Chris, great to see you bumpin' around.

Need some feed back on what you guys are looking for on matters of scale of the game. On the previous incarnation, I started sliding you guys into intrigues, double deals, and things that just make no sense at first glance. Fun for me at least. wink.gif

Are you looking for more of the same, simpler street level mayhem, first pebbles in an epic landslide, or just playing in the mud of Seattle's streets? I have all sorts of ideas, but I'd like some feedback on where to aim for the game.
Lady Door
I'm all for "first pebbles in a mudslide of epic proportions" but that's just me. smile.gif
Ol' Scratch
I vote that we all turn colors and become ice cream salesmen, with each FuddyNutty SoyBar we sell to a kid awarding us 5,000 Karma.
fistandantilus4.0
With you, that's a given. smile.gif
Fortune
All Claymore really wants is to kill trogs!
Ol' Scratch
With poisoned FuddyNutty SoyBars?
Fortune
Wouldn't the poison be redundant?
Ol' Scratch
Quit thwarting my evil masterminding with your common sense.
Fortune
Um ... no! nyahnyah.gif biggrin.gif

If we need a goal, Claymore votes that we wipe out the Spikes once and for all.
Ol' Scratch
As long as we work in a FuddyNutty SoyBar, I'm game. Those bastards are toast.
Fortune
Toasted FuddyNutty SoyBars?
Ol' Scratch
It's all the new rage. Now with extra sulphur.
fistandantilus4.0
I don't know about wiping out the Spikes completely, but there will be some involvement if I go with the game I have in mind.

I'll put in FuttynuttyWhateverTheFuckYouSaid too.
DTFarstar
Sounds good to me, well, the FuddyNutty Whatever-the-hell sounds disgusting, but the pebbles of a mudslide thing sounds great. I've got a lot of personal shit going on, but I should still be fine to play.

Chris
Fortune
So, does everyone have Runners Companion?

I intend to update Claymore to make him fit more into canon ... or the new version of canon. Especially in the area of Edges and Flaws. I won't be taking more, but some of the ones that are in that book fit more closely to my character concept.

So Fister-of-Arms, you can expect a dozen or so new drafts in your Inbox in the near future. biggrin.gif
DTFarstar
Yeah, I've got it. I need to find Haven's sheet around here. I'm sure there will be some updating on my part as well.

Chris
Ol' Scratch
I wouldn't mind revamping Bedlam quite a bit myself. Those new books have some really appropriate options for him. (I just wish I could remember what the original creation guidelines were. XD)
Fortune
Basically, FrankTrollman's House Rules (including chargen) with 500 BP.
fistandantilus4.0
I shot DT the last version of Haven that I received from him.

Give ya' somethin' ta' play with there kid. wink.gif
fistandantilus4.0
Alright pink mohawk crew, I've got the first part of my game prepped, but I don't have any of these alleged updated character sheets I've been hearing so much about. biggrin.gif

I'm looking at going down to San Diego on the 9th, so I'm unsure of what my connectivity will be for those next few days. I'd like to have a solid idea of what this crew is going to look like before then.
Ol' Scratch
Sorry. Things have been kind of weird on my end lately and I haven't had the opportunity to spend much time online. Well, not for any workable amount of time at least. I'll try to get to work on it tomorrow.

Bedlam should still look pretty much the same. I'm just going to update him with some of the new rules. Dunno if that helps or not. smile.gif
Fortune
Mostly just tweaking Qualities and giving Lifestyle a facelift. No real changes to speak of. He's almost done, and I'll send him to you shortly.
Ol' Scratch
I doubt if I'll be able to find the time to work on him to my satisfaction so... fuck it. I'll stick with my original entry. biggrin.gif
