Cold City/Hot War: AM slot #8 Simple game. Four players. [Mission: Impossible Remix] "Simple game. Four players. Exfil opens the pocket, cyber ops lifts the wallet." "Bank?" "Mainframe." "In Langley." "In Langley? The one in Virginia, Langley?" "Inside CIA headquarters at Langley." "Is he...

So, ekb & Catt for breakfast, Catt for Dread, me for Hot War. The evening slot hasn't been solidified in light Leverage getting filled...

Between you, Chris, Dave, & Dylan I'd say that I should plan to run it again... just not after catching filth & flar at Halloween parties. If I can get the card system in Roll20 to accept tarot decks as well as playing cards, then I'll run a session online. But that's a big if at the moment...

While no longer contagious, I'm still sicker than I'd hoped that I'd be. Reign needs to be cancelled.

The 50% break is more accurately expressed as 2+2 (average stat + moderate training/little training+taking an extra turn for prep). Such maths don't entirely apply here. It's all about the Company rules for this scenario. Pretty much every "character" runs one of The Empire's resources (@5d -...

Catt and I will be joining all for breakfast. The rest of the playing we'll do this time out, we're needing to play by ear (except for my game, naturally).

Imperial Harlots Reign: "Imperial Harlots" The Empress doesn't run The Empire - she doesn't want to or need to. The real power lies with you, the ministers who advise her and attend to the details that make The Empire run. This scenario takes place on the Company level and covers domain-level...

any preference for your character? Pompadour, Othar, and Careme are spoken for already.

the full set of pregens for Grimoire (AM slot) 1. Casanova, infamous Italian rake 2. Benjamin Franklin, "American" statesman and Master Mason 3. Martin de Pasquale, Rosicrucian voodoo master and Saint-Germain's chief rival 4. Voltaire, playwright and proto-goth entertainment superstar 5...

ekb & catt33 sittin' in a tree 2 for breakfast Catt would like Trollbabe (AM6) & Bulldogs (PM5). I'm still needing to play Ghosts of Albion (as opposed to raiding and coverting it to BESM), so I need to be in that.

grimoire, am slot, small table The Saint-Germain Frame (Grimoire) The "Man who never dies" has somehow died. Murder, it seems. You're the prime suspects... 4 players (all ages), no experience necessary, pregens provided (with minor tweaking of stats at the table). Grimoire is a tarot-based RPG...

For lack of a better set of descriptors, think of it as Steampunk Buffy... but with a stronger emphasis on the scoobies than on the kung fu (IMNSHO). Not that there's not any badassery. Since Tim's going with the d10 (as opposed to the 2d6 "Chicago Way"), the success/fail spectrum is very clear...

Hey! - that means I need a PM game now! Dread, please. As I will probably kill myself off with my first pull (srsly. every. frackin' time.), I'll likely need 2 questionnaires...

Okay, then... Table A in PM slot goes to Buzz's Dibs Cat, as Microscope gets no love from y'all. See, even less drama than the no-drama that this is. It's, like, anti-drama, even.

As it is Saturday and there is a custom of later service hours for the weekend, it's still lunch (I can find backing for this in Escoffier and Larousse Gastronomique, but I'll refrain from that flavor of rules lawyering as I'm too f'ng lazy/tired/not bored enough to find the quotes in question...
