    Six figures is a decent amount for a professor and the scion of a mining family.

    You'll have to modify your background, or reroll. I'm fine with him bouncing around exciting jobs for fun or because his family has his money in a trust fun, but he's obviously not working as a used car salesman because he needed the money.

    Can't find the present day prices online anywhere, so you get some poorly lit photos of my rules, along with a bit of my thumb.

    These are only the basics, and I have hundreds of weapons I could throw in as well. Basically, whatever you come up with we can work out an arrangement.

    If I'm not too late to the party, I'd like to jump in. I should have a concept and all that rolled out sometime tomorrow.

    I don't see any big rewrites needed. A recent inheritance or ...ahem... "coming into" some money another way would do fine. Might provide some interesting story hooks too >_>

    Ok, in character thread is up: http://forums.penny-arcade.com/discussion/150585/call-of-cthulhu-ic-whispers-in-the-darkness#Item_1

    Try to get your equipment in as soon as you can. Your characters are all at least somewhat acquainted, and this isn't your first job. You can each bring along a duffel bag and backpack of gear, clothing and the like on the plane. Anything larger than that will be sent along after you, and will arrive 12 hours later.

    ok so I'm gonna have to use back doors to get into to files, and find out what he was working on. as I said in my ic post I want to study the note for anything hidden inside it, mainly because I'm reading it and it seems to be atleast two different notes in one, maybe there is more information there that we may not be seeing, or not, atleast it will give my character something to do on the flight

    So I was just looking over my stats and realized that I have library use as 20...which is 5 under the base. Mind if I just remove that from the sheet? I'm guessing I moved some hobby points into the wrong area.

    I'm totally ok with taking the 5 point hit on it and just going "derp, what's a book"

    That's fine. Maybe go over your skill points again to make sure everything adds up.

    Okay, my character is updated- I don't really see Guy needing much in the way of equipment, so he has a few extravagances that will likely never see play in the campaign, and a bank account the size of Toledo. :D

    Larry, I was hoping for Guy to go outside and talk with the press, not go inside with the doctors. Or have the press moved indoors now?

    There's a couple of PAs/techs/cameramen moving gear outside, all of the actual press is in the lobby for the interview.

    Noted.
    You still with us @Dread__Cthulhu? I'm not going to be too harsh about inactivity, since the holiday season is approaching and I know I'll be in and out a bit over the next 2 months too. If you are chronically gone though, there are 3 options.
    1) I run your character. I will likely take great joy in leading you into bad situations.
    2) One of the other players takes over for you until you start posting again.
    3) We bring in a new player to take over your character.
    Which would you all prefer?

  • Options
    El SkidEl Skid The frozen white northRegistered User regular
    Guy is planning on assessing the situation- if he isn't stopped by anyone official he'll check out the press conference while scoping out a likely target (beautiful female reporter, preferably young). So feel free to run with things as far as you want if that's the case.

    If he is stopped, we can RP that out.

    Marcus, we totally need to do a "Doctor, Doctor, Doctor" thing when we meet these other doctors ;)

    Also, Javier thinks pretty modestly and usually doesn't refer to himself as a doctor unless its a formal introduction or he needs his credentials to persuade someone. Hopefully its not causing any confusion in the thought processes.

    If you guys want to give Dread_Cthulhu's character something to do, be my guest. Otherwise he'll be sitting in the lobby reading Newsweek.

    Larry not sure if I should or shouldn't tell you but if my character gets a chance to he will try to put a backdoor log in for the server to allow him remote admin access so he can go over project information that they may not want him too have but he may feel contains important info. I know I'm gonna need to make computer rolls for that, but do I need any like subterfuge rolls or anything like that?

    You're fine for now. I'll let you know what rolls are needed when you actually start using the computers.

    I can't think of anything negative happening if you go on a killing spree. Maybe you'll get lucky and kill some lurking horror.

    Rucdoc, make a persuade or a fast talk check to see how your request goes over.

    Also, I'm going to be out of town for the next few days. I'll try to get you updates, but I can't promise they'll be timely.

    Back. Skid, go ahead and make a Listen check if you'd like to hear the whole statement.
    Mr. Schmidt has now read 3 Newsweeks and one Outdoor Sport magazine. He ventured down to the cafeteria, and the chili has given him a nasty case of the runs, so he's sequestered in the bathroom for the near future.
