THRILL along with our experienced Role Playing Actors as they present a CUNNING and INTRICATE mystery worthy of today's most celebrated authors!

Simply check the Aethersite which you are currently attending on a daily basis for exciting and wonderful UPDATES on the progress of our heroes! Threads will be named according to the chapter in which they occur; eg. Prologue, Chapter 1, etc. There are twelve chapters.

Special thanks to the artist Darren M.A. Calvert, whose eldritch portraits of fantastic creatures have inspired awe and jealousy among many a practicing vivisectionist! He has graciously agreed to compose portraits of our star ensemble, and we are greatly in his debt! A round of applause for him, please!

    To the 'actors':

    I've just registered you on RPol, and we can start playing as soon as tomorrow. I think we'll use the typical around-the-table structure of playing, where you guys all debate what to do and then I'll arbitrate what happens when you do it.

    like, throughout a day or so you guys would formulate the questions to ask a guy and what you'd do after that and i'd pop in periodically and tell you guys what happened.

    It's probably going to play pretty slow, but it'll be a good time for sure. Anyone want to volunteer to write up weekly reports?

    I'm a patient man.

    Even that super-fast warmup you did was great.

    This shit will be outstanding.

    Man, I love original-era Cthulhu as a setting.

    Cthulhu you really don't need to know the rules for. It's pretty self explanatory and basic, and anything more advanced is generally not shit players would know anyways, so you can just make whatever you want up.

    I mean, I don't even know like how the basic combat or character creation works

    like

    are there stats or what

    what kind of dice you use

    etc...

    I always wanted to, but my gaming group never seemed interested in it.

    okay so i'm going to be out of the house for most of today, we'll start tomorrow

    in the meantime, i want you guys to figure out if you know each other or not; basically, you get invited to a play and take a friend or two along, or you find the playbill in a local newspaper or something

    and then we start!

    And you all saw how awesome the warmup was.

    So you have only yourselves to blame.
