After the fourth student rushes through the shelter door, the doorway itself swirls shut, metal pieces sliding together to clang shut the way the iris lens of a camera shuts. In the next instant, the lights shut off, plunging the room into utter darkness. "Please remain calm, children," a...

Okay. Space question for space experts: Would it be possible to have a space station at Lagrange point 1 between the Earth and the Moon so that the station would maintain a stationary orbit with consistent distances between itself and the Moon and itself and Earth? Bonus Question: If so, what...

jmucchiello: Whatever works narratively. She could, for example, exit the school and see the other characters rushing from point A to point B. Also, don't spend XP yet. That's coming soon. VLAD the Destroyer: Whatever works narratively. These are comic book distances. I can make either one...

New post is up. Another 3 XP each, please. As the panic spreads, one thing is paramount: All of your characters ends up in the same shelter.

The blare of the air raid siren interrupts any answer to Sofia's question. A sort of stunned silence falls over those in the diner. A sitting in booths near the windows lean to look out the windows. Cars stop in the streets. A woman gets out of her car, jaw slack, and points toward the sky...

Ug. Obviously my last post about when I'd add to the game proved to be wildly inaccurate. It has been a bear of a week, and now I'm prepping to host many family members for dinner. I have no forgotten about this game. I have no abandoned this game. Please be patient two or three more days at...

I'll add something to the game later today or tomorrow. :)

As we come to the close the week, it's time for every character to be awarded 2 Power Points. Hold off on spending these, please.

The morning at New Falls High passes, the minutes ticking by, the homeroom announcement about shelters casting a surreal shadow across class activities and in-between class conversations. The bell rings announcing the start of the lunch period, that time of the day when among all of the students...

I've not played a 5E bard, but I've seen them played. Seldom has the bard need saving. I did play a bard in Dungeon World. He ended being one of the party's most effective characters in and out of combat. He was also the character with the highest armor rating, being better defended than the...

OOC: Oh. Right. Yeah, that makes sense. :)

A bunch of stuff and, as always, Iggy Pop. James Bond

Later today or tomorrow, I'm going to advance the timeline to the school lunch period. If there's anything you want your characters to do, say, et cetera before then, now's the time to post. After lunch, we'll hit the end of the day, and then I'm going to throw a huge sack of feces at a large...

OOC: Nay, nay. The dark paneled conference room is not on school grounds. :)

Meanwhile... As life in New Falls continues very much like it did the previous day, five Titan Defense executives meet in a dark paneled conference room. They're all older, not a one without at least some gray in their hair. Four of them are men, and they wear dark suits, white shirts, and black...

We're looking for one or two additional players. We're a group of largely middle-aged guys with wives and/or children. We meet about two Saturdays a month for one group and two Sundays a month for the other group, alternating the weekends so there's only game per weekend. We game, we get...

Next on my list is Lone Survivor by Marcus Luttrell.

Sofia walks down the hall on her way to homeroom. The school is small, but it seems crowded. Students move about, talking at lockers, entering and exiting the bathrooms, many walking briskly but slowing down as they closer to their respective homerooms and the time when they won't see their...

Without a doubt, the number one for me is Ron Ely's Doc Savage. Saw it at the drive through with Mom when I was a kid. Of more recent vintage, the live action Speed Racer, which I think is a better movie than Iron Man. :)

Nota Bene: We're a little out sync time-wise between the characters. Charlie is about one class period into the future. :) Charlie's prediction about when he'd make it to school proves accurate. The bells ending first period starts to ring as Charlie makes it through the door. Miss Balametov...
