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

[Fanog]

Antonie will do his job, which is basically following Roxie around.

He's counting on the expedition leaders to get all of the necessary equipment, but he'll get him and Roxie some polar-proof clothing etc. - The personal stuff they'll need to be comfy down there.
He'll read in his evenings off, on the antarctic in general and on the workings of a few previous expeditions, among which the Lake-Dyer expedition.

I hate to do this but I am going to have to close down this game. I have been having a real hard time getting it off the ground so to speak. With 4 of the beginning players dropping or no showing and the shear size and scope of the adventure, I have been very frustrated with my start of the game. Don't get me wrong, the characters and players that I have are GREAT. It's nothing to do with yall. But I have come to the conclusion that this adventure needs to be done face to face. There is alot of information and roleplaying that needs to be done just to set up the game. I hope yall don't hold it against me for closing down the game. Again I am sorry but I just feel that needed to do this.

oh no



I thought it was going well - although a bit slow. But you gotta do what you need to do.

Well I guess I shall just have to find a home for Roxie - can't give her up, she's a real treat. Its been awesome so far, and I had a great time with everyone.

Perhaps another CoC adventure? One that you can accommodate to the boards and we can use some of the characters so far created?

sniff...sniff....I made Kitana frown......

ok.....I will give it another go....Roxie deserves a chance to shine and die insane in a arctic wasteland...It is a great adventure if I can get it started right.......

*backbone stiffening.......chest expanding*

Please ignore the my whining post and lets get going.
I promise to pick up the pace and get this show on the road!!

Hey YS, if its missing players that has you down, then why not just start another thread saying that you need more people? I'm sure more will join as soon as they hear what's going on, heck, I bet no one else asked to join after me just because you said 8 is enough.

Glad to see this is still a go!

Sorry I missed the panic attack, YoS.

Most of my schoolwork is over now, except for the finishing touches on the Java project. Let's just say I never want to hear the phrase "object oriented" ever again...

At any rate, we've got what, two months of downtime before the gearing-up begins? Aside from the work with the magazine, I'm going to research the Miskatonic expedition, maybe even go down to the school for a bit. I'm particularly interested in finding survivors for interviews, getting a brief summary of what they went through and what their thoughts on our expedition are. Danforth or Dyer would be ideal, of course, but OOCly I strongly suspect that they won't be around.

I'd also like to get together with our own expedition members so that I can do some short profiles on them. Anyone who wants to can post a brief statement or interview summary, otherwise I can just go off the character backgrounds. All of this research will be for the major magazine spread we do in September for the launching of the expedition.

Finally, since I've never actually been to the arctic I'll be talking to other people I know who have, getting advice and learning what to expect. Maybe brush up on my piloting or radio skills if there's time.

And of course, I definately need to spend a lot of time doing the clubs with Roxie. Oh, and the others in the group, I guess...

Also:

September 27th... Wasn't the expedition supposed to leave on September 15th?

 

[Yellow Sign]

My bad Bryon....It has been changed to July 27th.

Cool.
