((GM Notes are in parentheses) [Mechanical Notes are in braces] ((NOTE - This is our Season 1 TTVD Finale episode, after this session, we'll be switching things up for a few weeks with a different game (Call of Cthulhu) and a different GM)) Nick was in an out of consciousness for the better...

((GM Notes are in double parentheses)) [Mechanical notes are in braces] Episode: So What Happened To Nick? ((The episode was played out with a smaller-than-usual group, so this is truncated version built around one mechanical conceit - [What if another player was in charge of your spends?]))...

Just wanted to let everyone know, I'm getting caught up on all the campaign notes, expect a post later today or tomorrow.

Thanks, that means a lot.

The Aruba Connection, also called "Crossing The ArubaCon" [Mechanics are in braces] ((GM Comments are in double parentheses)) The Team For This Episode -------------------------- Mace Hunter Desdemona Rossini Father John Iago ((brand new character, testing out a new Pool I'm calling "Faith"))...

My apologies for the lack of updates - My group is currently on vacation. You'd think this would give me a chance to catch up on the FIVE episodes I owe this thread, but work has been particularly busy. I will get one episode up tonight. @Commited Hero - Yes, I'll get you a copy of the...

((GM Notes in double parentheses)) [Mechanical notes in braces] This is the adventure of the 'C' team, a set of characters made to test out the 'Dust' style of play. The players (usual players) were looking for a change and didn't want to up-end the main campaign plot, we spent two sessions...

Stability hasn't yet so run down that my players are basketcases, but it's been a factor tangentially, that the players are hesitant to take too many risks when dealing with the supernatural. Later today, when I post the week's update, there's a good example of this. Stability is proving to be...

This is a long-awaited update. I want to take a moment, before I talk about last week's adventure to describe some of the other things the TTVD campaign offers: 1. Cloud Agents - To help develop the Conspiracy, and offer something for my out-of-town players (I have players deployed overseas...

After giving it a rough test tonight, yes, I'm dumping telegraphy entirely, it didn't come up nearly as much as I thought. Shooting didn't occur as much as I thought it would either, I guess because people had the understanding it would be a longer action. This hack was pretty successful...

A pause here for an announcement -- After a challenge from one of the players, I've been asked to take Night's Black Agents and see if we can do it in different time periods. I've started with the Victorian Era, and it doesn't take many changes to get there: 1. Skills (X -> Y) BS Detector...

---RESUME--- ((GM NOTES are in double parentheses)) [Mechanical notes are in braces] With the team (Mace, Nick, Desdemona, Rossini, MikeSmith, Carter Byers) all in Karen's office, and three of them covered in gore, it was time to explain what was going on. Mace had the unenviable task of...

The MurdER in the ER ((GM Notes are in double parentheses)) [Mechanical notes are in braces] ((Here now is the harrowing tale of Dr Karen Elmont, presented in full detail.)) It started with an email. It came at 2:59, about thirteen minutes after Karen Elmont, the third surgeon of the ER at...

(resumed) The SACK event had top-notch security. Metal detectors, motion sensors, even bug sweeps. SACK didn't mess around ((The agents ridiculously high Digital Intrusion score made this a non-issue, but it was nice to see them take an interest)). Anna, being press, arrived early, snapping...

A very anticipated update ((GM Notes are in double parentheses)) [Mechanical notes are in braces] ((This is a long update - sorry for the delay, but because this game covers not just tabletop play, but also email and google chats, there's a lot of information to disseminate.)) It all started...

What consistently impresses me is how the system is not mechanically-limited. In other systems, engines and games, I'm in some ways restrained by what dice I've rolled, because when I rolled a 14 three months ago, that means now I only have a +1 to persuade to this guy to do what I want, even...

My apologies for the delay in updating this thread - it's been a busy campaign, and I'm behind on organizing the notes. I look to correct that later tonight and tomorrow. Pelgrane, I will definitely be sending you an email tomorrow with some DVD notes and ideas.

((GM Notes are in double parentheses) [Mechanics are in braces] ((There is a rule I'm particularly fond of, and have been since I first discovered it -- (I'm paraphrasing here) 'If you get captured, you'll be given a chance to escape AND you'll find out information along the way'. This has...

I should point out that your one-shot was the galvanizing force behind my making this campaign happen. So, thank you.

Sure, I'd be happy to. (I should point out that there's a rather lengthy update coming tomorrow, as we're playing tonight). Also, because some of my players read this thread now, I'm going to only list the Core Clues and Conspyramid details the players have uncovered to date. Also, for the...
