Let me know what days you're free this weekend (if any at all), and a reason your character would be in Springer, New Mexico (the end of the Santa Fe Rail line, coming south out of Colorado). I still want more detailed character stuff (including a list of enemies and your character's pre-existing connections to the others on the character creation thread) but I need this specifically in order to fully fabricate the first adventure. Post any public reasons you'd be in Springer, here, and if you have a "secret" reason, you can communicate that to me in some other fashion. If you can't think of a reason, we need to talk. Immediately.

My PIN number is...wait...

But seriously, I'd be available Sunday. I might be in NM for scouting a la the character concepts you've discussed with Chris. I'll post again with some more details tomorrow after I've talked things over with him.

Like Kat, my availability is heavily dependant on the weather. I should be able to let you know by tomorrow night.

My character would be in Springer, New Mexico because she happens to live around there. Perhaps she's in town buying supplies, or maybe she's just there to mosey.

[Xath]

Also, my work does not believe in Memorial Day Weekend, so I'd have to leave early enough so that I could be awake for work in the morning.

Zhu Xiong Wu - performer in the "Greatest Show on Earth" - fled the circus wagons late one night after discovering something terrible. The circus, having just completed its run in Denver, was packed and ready to leave at daylight. The camp was, for a short while, silent.

If she was ever going to escape the Hell that had become her home, this was her only chance. Running gracefully, she traveled several miles before hearing the sound of salvation: the train whistle.

Strong arms reaching, she managed to pull herself atop the train. Hiding herself herself amonghts the luggage she thought, "I wish I knew where this was going."

... It just so happens, that train was headed to Springer.

If you look to JC's character description, you will see that his character's father died under somewhat mysterious circumstances. It just so happens that Wu and her tumblers were in the same location - performing for the local nobility. Trouble had a tendency to travel with the troupe.

It was at this performance that Slava first encountered Wu.

Though I will not go into detail at the moment, Wu's fellow tumblers certainly had something to do with the death of Slava's father.

Can you give us a time frame as to when (approximately) that might be?

Just checking - Sunday's the only day this weekend you're available?

The circus, having left Springer mere days before was headed east - searching for a slightly more civilized crowd.They were quite a distance from the frontier town. However, as she ran blindly through the night, she came across a stage rumbling back west.

If she was ever going to escape the Hell that had become her home, this was her only chance. Running gracefully, she vaulted herself onto the stagecoach. Strong arms reaching, she managed to pull herself atop the speeding coach. Hiding herself herself amonghts the (very nice) luggage that was piled very, very high she thought, "I wish I knew where this was going."

... It just so happens, that stage was headed back to Springer.

I may have to do so some slight modification here (maybe changing the direction you're headed) but everything else is good.

[The_Universe]

So far on the roll call, I have the following people for a probable Sunday Afternoon game, start and end times currently unknown:

Liz
Gertie
Clarissa

I assume that there will be others, but I need your confirmation.

Well - its certainly not set in stone... nor is it very important. So, whatever you need to do.

[AIM-54]

I'm available the whole weekend, assuming whatever bug I've managed to catch has subsided by then, which I think likely *knock on wood*. So, Sunday works.

No we're up to:

Liz
Clarissa
Gertie
Jeremiah

for sunday's game (still no set times, as I need some info from those with more pressing schedules than mine).

Miss Fitzwilliam is traveling west to find her last remaining relatives. Last since her only known remaining older brother she would rather thrash then live with, and those in Ireland are a bit too distant. Her father had told her of an Uncle out west that had done mighty well for himself. Springer, she had been told, was a base of her uncles buisness. But she had already found so many dead ends, this one didn't hold much better hope.

I'll post the big discription that I have so far on the character page.

I still have to talk to Mik, but there is an easy possible connection Cash and Miss Fitzwilliam can have.

My weekend is all about weather.

EDIT: Like the change Mik, but forget my sentence on the connection then won't make sense now

[Archon]

After much thought i've decided not to go with John Cash as my character in the upcomming d20 game. Jason Duncan will be my PC instead. I decided to go with a more simple concept.
Jason was born in Springer, NM on August 12th, 1862. He has lived with his mother and father on their small family farm ever since. Being an only child Jason assumed much responsibility at a young age. As his father grows older Jason adopts more and more chores in order to keep their small farm running. Jason is very strong for a boy of his age but has never acted in a violent way. He is very mild mannered and enjoys reading and spending time with his friends and family. Jason has always dreamnt of being a hero and has always done what he could to help and support his neighbors, but Jason knows that he will someday inherit the farm and raise a family of his own.
On this day, Jason finds himself riding into town with his family's wagon to buy supplies.
Jason has seen "Fred" a couple of times in town or selling produce to her family and harbors a heavy crush on the young cowgirl. But being as shy an awkward as he is, has never said anything to her.

That's a shame - Cash had more potential. What's this guy's mobility potential? I don't want to have to spend a bunch of time coming up with reasons to "make" you guys adventure, and young Duncan here seems to have strong ties to Springer, and not a lot of reason to leave it all behind. Maybe give me some more detail on the character creation thread?

Okie dokie. What's up back in Savannah with her previous social standing(s), etc.?

Well, Cash may be gone, but perhaps a viable connection exists with the Duncans? If not, probably time to start fabricating a connection to another character or two. As I noted, while I need you to have at least one reason to adventure with the other people in the group, more is always good.

[Xath]

There should be a connection for Kat's character with the Thompsons. They're originally from Savannah, but headed out west in 1867..

Shame about John Cash. I was looking forward to him.

Who's Thomas?

Fixed it above. I meant Thompson, as in Winifred Anne Thompson.

Also, I've updated Fred's story and incorporated the beginings of an enemy. I have 4 more years to write but should be able to do that tomorrow.

That makes more sense. Is Kat still going with her idea?

As a secondary note - wednesday night has come and gone. Do we have confirmation on yours and Kat's plans re: the weekend?

We've got enough to play (Liz, Jeremiah, Clarissa, Mik) even if the two of you are out - but it'd still be nice to know.

[Archon]

I'm camping as well. As of now it looks like we're going Sat/Sun but that still isn't for sure. As soon as one of us knows i'm sure the information will be posted.
