    [Re-Recruitment] When Journalists Attack!

    Oh, current relationships. Let's say, barring any other good ideas, that the following is the case (I'm welcome to suggestions). Jarval and Argent, your characters have worked together for several years, and are the core of one of the Metro teams. You were moved to Metro right after the last...

    [Re-Recruitment] When Journalists Attack!

    We are go for late sunday/early monday morning. I'll be away Saturday and some of Sunday, so don't expect any responses then. I feel confident that we've got pretty much everything together, and if needbe, we can fill in some details on the fly. When I start the OOC thread, we'll talk about...

    [Re-Recruitment] When Journalists Attack!

    Ha. :) I would ask for physical descriptions: but you and I both realize that this is utterly silly. At the start of game, and every time you use the hat/boots/wrist watch of disguise/be descriptive as far as how you're changing. For everybody: such that I don't have to roam all over the...

    [Re-Recruitment] When Journalists Attack!

    How about this: Remember that wizard who ordered the ring to be enchanted, and who you knew was up to no good? Well, after the whole incident with the guards which got you onto the Daily Float, you went back to where you thought his place was, but it wasn't there: the house looked all different...

    [Re-Recruitment] When Journalists Attack!

    Alright. One large conspiracy, with fries, to go. The rest of you: unless you have some reason for it to be mysterious, or hidden from yourself, feel free to flesh out some details on your backgrounds: how would you like it to play out? Who's chasing you? What's the object? What did you vow...

    [Re-Recruitment] When Journalists Attack!

    Spycraft in general has a lot of innovative, interesting ideas crammed all over the place: it's great game design. (edited: #3 added) So, there are two ways to interpret your choice of backgrounds: One is: your amnesia is a cause of something strange, mysterious, and big. This is probably...

    [Re-Recruitment] When Journalists Attack!

    I would recommend against using Romance as a background: it obviously describes your state (although how far along from crush to boyfriend to husband is still sort of open), but the Romance indicates some conflict, and so as far as I can tell, my ways to do this would be to have one of you have...

    [Re-Recruitment] When Journalists Attack!

    By the way, Kalanyr, when you create your character, think heavily about glue. Don't sniff it, but instead, that your character might want to have lots of links to other characters, sort of tie people together. Whether or how you do this is up to you, but think about co-workers, siblings...

    [Re-Recruitment] When Journalists Attack!

    Good question, which I should know. So, straight from the SRD, something that all of us should be familiar with: Change Self The character can make his or herself—including clothing, armor, weapons, and equipment—look different. The character can seem 1 foot shorter or taller, thin, fat, or in...

    [Re-Recruitment] When Journalists Attack!

    Or just right now, if that's fine too. I've thought about it some more, and have decided not to go with player-to-player feats per se: in it's place, just think about what you think of everybody else in the group. You can post this, or you can not, it's your choice, although it's good to help...

    [Re-Recruitment] When Journalists Attack!

    DE: I really like the character. I want to think some more about the details, and some of the hooks you've left dangling, but overall I'm very pleased with this. I'll touch on a few mechanics for everyone, then get back to you later on today with some background thought. Mechanics: Kalanyr...

    Call of Cthulhu: Beyond the Mountains of Madness [OCC]

    I'm going to hold back on ideas a bit because I want to: a) see what other people are doing b) wait for my CoC book to arrive c) read a bit more about the time period and mythos to get in-setting. That said, I would love (if it's okay with YellowSign) to have some pre-established links, so...

    Call of Cthulhu: Beyond the Mountains of Madness [OCC]

    Hey, no offense taken, I'm really happy to be in a game with great players: I've never found any better way to both have lots of fun and raise my roleplaying skill than to consistently seek only quality games with quality people.

    Well, get yourself a heroforge excel spreadsheet (search google for it): it includes capsule descriptions of all the feats from the splat books. Quite handy.

    [Re-Recruitment] When Journalists Attack!

    Great! I'm happy with how this character turned out: feel free to fill in details about your god, and any npc's you want hanging around, or if you like, I can come up with stuff. You've got a good cover set up, as well as the cleric organization being an obvious feeder for the Float. Feats...

    No intermediate stages here, I'm fully tempted. Count me in for the snow and ice and disorientation and the things man was not meant to know, let alone eat. --stu

    [Re-Recruitment] When Journalists Attack!

    The background's fine in this iteration. I like the way you've taken this: you should probably, when we get to taking background feats, consider having enemies, or people with long-standing grudges. We can fill in some more of the details with flashbacks if need be, but cool. This is pretty...

    [Re-Recruitment] When Journalists Attack!

    6th level is go. I think this is a fine start: let me go through my usual suggestions, in the same way, background first, mechanics later. So, there isn't TV: it's just too magically expensive to do. There aren't really legitimate journalism professions either: they all lead to death in the...
