Job Away I am travelling on business this week and won't be able to post until this weekend. I'll do my best to wreak havoc when I return. :p Job.

With Bobitron's departure, we have another opening for the expedition, and I'm re-opening my re-recruiting for this game. :D I'd like to keep a full set of players moving through the storyline since the player interactions are often half the fun. Job.

The worker at the top of the ramp grimaces in disgust, shakes his head, and says "Nah, no thanks! I don't chew that stuff. Dr. Moore is in the Crew's Mess, through that door up there..." He points upwards to a door at the top of a stairway along the outside of the midship structure. "Take a...

Watus, It's now been 28 days since I last heard from Eabha. You are cleared to submit a letter from your physician to James Starkweather in the Chapter 1 thread and also to post your proposed character stats. Job.

Drowned Hero, this is a very colorful writing and fun to read! Unfortunately for Øyvind and the crew, the chickens and vegetables and meat will only last through the first few weeks of the trip. :\ Your diet after that will be somewhat more bland, but you'll learn more about that during your...

Aww, Bobitron, I'm very sorry to see you go. Vittorio will live on as an NPC should you at some point decide that you'd like to rejoin our expedition. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job.

He walks down the 600 foot long pier to find his way onto the ship. A long narrow shed runs down the center of the pier, fifty feet wide and thirty feet high in the center. The shed's interior is piled with cargo--boxes, bales, drums, and pallets stacked fifteen feet high in three long rows...

Based on writings from Commander Byrd on his 1929/1930 expedition to the South Pole, and also on the expert advice of the other dog handlers who will join you on the expedition, Dr. Moore has purchased 3 dog sleds, each outfitted for 9 pulling dogs. There are, of course, extra dogs along to...

Watus, After I emailed Eabha a number of weeks ago, she responded to me that she's still interested in the game, but that was three weeks ago. If you're willing to wait another week (I'd like to give her a total of 4 weeks to rejoin us, which is the same that I'd offer any player), and if she...

Thanks for the links, Drowned Hero. Nansen was certainly an incredible explorer and leader! From his sports accomplishments in his teens, and his explorations and scientific work during midcareer, to his political work in his latter years, the man was truly inspiring. I'm surprised that...

Yes, we're seeking one additional player to replace an individual who's become inactive. If you are interested, take a peek at the first post in this thread to identify a role that is not yet filled, then let us know a little about your character concept. Drowned Hero just joined the...

The Docks The Hudson River docks are a place of constant motion. Smells of the sea water, oil, fish, and damp wood are mixed with the sweat of the stevedores, and fill the air. Dozens of ships of all sizes and description are tied up here, in various stages of loading or unloading. Huge...

The thirteen block trip to the docks takes only a few minutes by taxi. You pull up at the foot of West 34th Street, and cross over Twelfth Avenue to the pier shed front. A small sign has been stenciled and nailed up near one of the two large doors: STARKWEATHER-MOORE ANTARCTIC EXPEDITION...

"Preparations are proceeding nicely, Miss Bardier,"" said James Starkweather. "Thank you for asking. Dr. Moore has been meticulously organizing the materials at the dock and most crates have arrived. We're on track for our departure on September 14th." There is a knock at the door and James...

I'm reading it too. Apparently my time machine is also working. :) On a lighter note, I just finished the book version of John Carpenter's film "The Thing", written by Alan Dean Foster. I loved the extra detail and the scenes that were quite different from the movie. $7 on ebay...

Actually, your use of English is just fine and, as far as I can tell, you're communicating your ideas very well. And an occasional grammar error is perfectly fine--and also somewhat in character--since Øyvind doesn't naturally speak English. We do have an excellent group here. Now I'm...

August 23, 1933 Dear Øyvind Raknes, Thank you for your letter of the 19th. It is indeed a great pleasure to approve your application to become a team member of the Starkweather—Moore Expedition of 1933. First, let me congratulate you on your extraordinary determination and successes within...

Øyvind Raknes Character Sheet Approved Drowned Hero, You character sheet is approved. I'll need to work up Starkweather's response to your letter, so please wait for that before posting any actions. I'll be out of town for the next couple of days, so I might not get to it until...
