No worries Buddha I know how life is, just checking in.

Hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving!!!

Now back to the show!!

I'm going to bump teams back to the safe house for the moment so we can get this thread hopping again. Now for my usual once-in-awhile-question, are you folks enjoying yourself? Anything you don't like, things you would like to see? Let me know here or if you're shy PM me.

I'm still down with a discount.

LOL!

Ok the group with Carl has just arrived so feel free to post your entrance to the rest of the team.

It is Monday in the AM, we'll say about 11 am.

Ok everyone. Gencon SoCal is starting tomorrow and Im on my way. Will be incommunicado until Sunday (unless I can find a connection somewhere) so Ill see ya then.

*wishes she could go* But California is a bit far for me to travel.

*cackles wildly* I'll have all the GenCon people over at my house pushing things along. (I live 1/2 a mile from the Con)

Errr...if I was considering going to some random strangers house, the cackle pretty much kills that idea. I'm heading to GenCon SoCal myself, so I'll see you guys on Sunday.

Off to GenCon SoCal!

Will post Monday!

I have returned so let the posting begin!

Posted

Posted and yes, he's exagerating a little, but onyl for emotional effect.

Happy Monday all!!

Ok the plan is (OOC stuff here) to do the initiation in the IC post, I have a few ideas on how to get everyone involved. Let me know if you want to skip that part. This is more directed at the un-Awakened members of the team. So throw in and let me know. This will be the last week of posting for me probably till the New Year. The week of X-mas is filling up with parties and family stuff. Just a head's up for you all.

Thanks!

I would definitely like to get into it, being an awakened member I can probably arrange for an astral gateway if the rest of you want to help, too ;P

Too bad I don't really have the close ties to initiate with the rest of the group. Oh well...there will be other times.

Don't be so sure, I think Buddha is planning on having everyone go on the quest.

Exactly! I don't want to leave anyone twiddling their thumbs while the rest of the players have fun. So this is the roll call to see who wants to go along, just in case someone wants to not do the astral quest thing.

Honestly though, someone should stay with Iblis.

Never actually gotten to do an astral quest...should be fun

let's bring her with us...Her being Iblis that is. Make the GM reveal dark sordid secrets about his NPC while he dredges up our own dark pasts and flaunts them for the team to see. (Have I mentioned that I hate that Guardian at the Threshold or whatever he's called.)

Oh no! I forgot about that! And Paladin doesn't know about it. You may find out his Dark Secret!

On that note, I need the following from everyone planning on going on the astral quest.

If you're going on the quest.

Initiate Grade (your current) - if Awakened

Your deepest, darkest secrets. The shameful things at pull at the edges of your character's mind. The skeletons in their closets as it were.

For the non-Awakened members (if any go), I am going to work on some type of reward for you for doing the quest. Seems only fair.

I would like this info PMed to me ASAP please. Thanks!

I think I'll just provide 'overwatch' on this. Lots of guns.
Also, someone needs to fill the very mundane Murrey in on what to expect. If you guys get possessed while out and about, I need to know when it's okay to shoot.

Inititiate Grade: Not initiated

Dark Secrets: Likely something to do with the split personality...

Initiate Grade: 5

Dark Secrets: Read my background.

(shakes his head)

Does anyone read my posts anymore? I said PM me the info please.

I read it, then again, I'm not going on the quest...

Ok this week is officially a vacation one. I will throw out a post on next Monday to get this thread moving again. Those of you who sent the PMs thanks and those of you who haven't, please do. Thanks and a have a great holiday!

I'm out for the holiday break, as it were. I'll be gone until the 2nd of December, and I should be able to get caught up on the threads on the boards by the 3rd, so look for me after that.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years everyone!

Merry Christmas and Happy New Years everyone!

The 2nd of December? You are gunna be gone for a whole year!?

Wouldn't THAT be nice! However, I believe that would become more of a sabatical rather than a "vacation"

Ok looks like this will week 2 of the vacation with Fenris out of town till Jan 2nd. But I can do some admin things and people not going on the astral quest are welcome to bump along with anything they want . Or people doing any prep before going as well.

Whizbang - You can do the astral quest and then save the "experience" to initiate when you have the karma so no worries there.

Blitz - Thank you darling for the fab and full history for Moira but I still need a character sheet.

Ecclesiastes - I need your history as well, I think it was lost when the hard drive died. I looked over the weekend and no luck.

All - It's been awhile so I think everyone has probably improved or modified their character since the beginning of the thread so I could use new and updated copies of your characters.

Thanks and I hope everyone had a great Christmas!

Actually, i haven't spent any of the Karma (though I have been eyeing that stealth skill) what's the total earned Karma if you haven't spent any thus far?

Close to 50 by now

It was one point a week so just grab the start date and count them out.

My count is 45.
Wow, this has been going on almost a year already, wowsers.

46 weeks. This Friday will be number 47.

we get a point a week?

Thats what the man said. Buddha, I just sent you a link to my sheet. It is up to date with all karma added (including the extra karma pool). If you recall, a while back I purchased Aura Reading up to 4, so that is reflected in the remailing good karma.

*looks back to find her first post as an official player* Hmm...it doesn't feel like it's been almost two months...

Haven't made any changes yet, but I am thinking about attuning my sword...I'll let you know when I have earned more karma...

Sweet, I might have enough Karma to raise Car by 1 point...

Updating murrey now. It'll take a little time, but shold be winging it's way soon I hope. Had to transfer to excel as my new comp can't edit power point files, only read them. Is that a format you cna use?

Nikoli--
As one of Buddha's technical advisors, yes he can read Excel documents. However, exporting to an RTF or HTML file would probably be easier for him as the computer he uses for DSF doesn't have Microsoft Office.

Happy Monday!

The roster for the astral vision quest:

Moira
Paladin
Bakatare

Now I know Desdemona and Shiver want to go but nothing has happened in IC to include them so are we leaving that to me? Let me know.

I have Murrey sitting it out. I would like to get this thread up and going again so I am going to start cracking the GM whip.

Fenris - I need you to post you setting the details up for the quest please. Calling your group, etc.

Done. And you know my deep, dark secret

Not knowing if my Fixer's warehouse and the current flop house where folks are talking are in relation to each other, am I still within the 25 km range so Murrey will know what is going on?
Is Murrey providing telepresence support duing the "quest" and has anyone thought to let him know what the definition of "normal" will be during this so he know when something definitely isn't?

Anyone going to answer the man?

I'm going to say for now that you are in comm range of the safe house where they're holed up now, but they need to answer whether or not you're going along as a watcher during their quest.

Thanks Fenris for throwing an invite to our two new players, which means I need them to post their intentions (hint, hint). Thanks all. I know I am cracking the whip but I want to get us back to a more regular schedule of posting.
