Yes, hence my saying only Adam and Sam lacked a reason, though we're making strides :) Arabella's is simplest and ties well with greenstar's short but sweet background. She's a bohemian and joining discussions in the Fellowship is an alternative enough activity to fit perfectly with her favoured...

Yes, this is the sort of thing I meant. Background details explaining integration with the Fellowship as opposed to background details explaining integration with one another or reasons for attending the bar. This latter is fine to explore, of course, and important to establishing player...

I found Piratecat's succinct 'don't bore the judges' to be useful. Though I wasn't sure if he was referring to my editing or just jotting down a quick reminder for himself.

Firstly, you shouldn't feel the need to be defensive. I'm commenting, not attacking. Secondly, you've misinterpreted much of what I said :) An interest in the occult needn't be the driving force for all characters. I'm suggesting that their mutual sharing of this *interest* should be the...

Have a couple minutes before I head off to go under the knife. Kouk.. sorry, Kook, don't know where that extra U came from. That is the oddest thing I ever heard about an aviator, even stranger than old Howard Hughes. Clearly there's a running theme of loose screws in those magnificent men in...

Heh. The last post was from Lucean, Dire Lemming. Lucean- you don't need to post your character's entire history in the recruitment thread unless you really want everyone to know about it. If you're looking for comments/constructive advice that's fine, but I should add a note to the effect that...

Places people live (Dr Philip LeGraid): Welcome to the forum Lucean :) The Southern District, or Rich District, as it is known is a far cry from both Powder Mill and the Church District. Considered by many to be the heart of town life, the Rich District is actually little more than an...

Places people live (Adam West): A few streets west of the Powder Mill district and things change with surprising abruptness. Here are the white picket fences and wooden shingle houses characterised by colonial architecture and the roving building designers of Nantucket. The Church District...

Thankyou, thankyou *grins, bows* and I'd just like to say a big, heartfelt thankyou to my thesaurus for helping me through the rough times. Seriously though, I bow in turn to your amazing ability to write a story on the road! The only other person I know who can do that is a journalist. Well...

Places people live (Arabella): I see her living the bohemian lifestyle in Powder Mill, largely a run down, ethnic part of the town, but one stepped in 'history'. She lives in what would once have been homes for factory workers back in the 20s, now a freehold for low income citizens and migrants...

Round 4. Questions Shay? Q1 Why the scroll? The Hobbit follows the Dwarf's gaze and seems to shrink back when he spies the parchment, sundered upon the tabletop. His head seems to drift toward one shoulder, an awkward, dazed kind of expression on his face. "Filthy Dwarf would never understand...

Yes, Stephen King must be heart broken as he sleeps on his bed of money in his room made of money while he pays people to throw money at him and chant 'money' over and over. Poor shmuck. ;) But it is true of course that pioneers usually suffer for their art or endeavours, receive no recognition...

Not fair. I wanted lip clouds :)

Character sheets and related gumpf sent to Dire and greenstar. We now have four players, one of whom has chosen to develop their character idea over email rather than thrash it out in public. Current members of the Witching Hour Fellowship include a doctor, an inventor, an artist and a...

So you're not going with the Bermuda tri-angle? That's a shame. I liked the strange plane crash idea. Her family's reaction seems a bit harsh too. You can't fly like that because we love you so much we don't want you to die, so to stop you, we're going to disown you? Should read: For therein...

My intonation was that this was how Lovecraft's mother died. In the same asylum as his father. I realised the link to MUAM was distant. I'm just covering my back against one of those "leave this to me, my name carries a lot of weight down at MUAM/the police station/Town Hall/The Pentagon/etc"...

Not necessarily oh he of extremely concise posts. I've studied the RAW a bit about this and I think we could wrangle something with Magic Points. Not seeing into the future maybe, but... hm. Let me have a look at it and get back to you when I sort out your character sheet.

There's something to be said for in-game character development and there's a lot here she probably wouldn't share with our two resident bar flies. But very detailed and surprisingly, this time, I'm not going to be a spoilsport :) I kinda blinked when it turned out she was linked to the founding...

Greenstar: I'm wary of including psychic ability in terms of soothsaying, primarily because it would entail knowing what's going to happen next in the game, and as I avoid overly-linear games I may not know that myself. I'd be happy to include some kind of telekinesis tendency that only really...
