Still looking for a recruit?

Yes OnlytheStrong! We can always use some fresh blood! Please examine the below links for creating your character and let me know what you'd like to do.

Here is a post describing character creation that tells you about the options for using pre-made characters or for rolling up a new character. There is one notable change: we now have Strahd_Von_Zahrovich playing Father JP Rucker, so that pre-made option is no longer available.

NOTE: This game has been going on for a bit of time and there is a lot of background to the game, but to get started all that you really need to read is the Campaign Overview and familiarize yourself with the current actions in chapter 4.



Below is a summary of our story to date:

Prologue: Within this starting thread, our intrepid adventurers applied via letter to Commander Starkweather to join the expedition. Some main NPC's were introduced. Those player characters that were accepted on the expedition attended a fundraising banquet which was interrupted by a gunman.

Chapter 1: Our player characters arrived in New York City, visited their ship, the SS Gabrielle, and began preparations for the journey. They attended daily briefings from Commander Starkweather and Professor Moore, the expedition's main scientific leader. Some players began nosing around the ship, looking for information about fellow shipmembers

Chapter 2: Following the unexpected death of the SS Gabrielle's Captain in NYC, members of the expedition investigate suspicious circumstances.

Chapter 3: ***Our team will not likely experience chapter 3***

Chapter 4: Our story is currently underway here. Most preparations are complete and the characters are beginning to board the SS Gabrielle to get their cabin assignments and meet their shipmates. The expedition is scheduled to depart New York City for Antarctica within the next 2 days (gametime).

Øyvind is s very sick guy that like to catch fish dropping some grenades into waters wait 5 secs and recollect actually used in north Norway until not to long ago. Maybe im stretching my luck to much....

-DH

Sorry that I didn't respond to this post earlier, DH. I became lost in the thread...

To rule on Øyvind's possession of grenades, please roll a d10 for the possibility of him bringing grenades along, as follows:

1 or 2: 1 grenade
3 or 4: 2 grenades
5 or 6: 3 grenades
7 or 8: 4 grenades
9 or 10: 0 grenades.

Could I play Dr. Vitus X. Lambert? Swiss physician, Alpinish and champion skier. (don't really care about the skiing part, just thought a doctor would help)

Boom! (1d10=7)

I would like to play a physician, but I would like to create my own. I'm thinking of the typical city doctor, except he has alittle bit of an adventuring side. He loves to big game hunt and climb. I can't really imagine he would be too adept at climbing, maybe he was when he was younger. Anyway, I'll start building him tonight and try to submit him. If you approve him, then I'm set. If not, then we will figure something out I'm sure


I don't have any info on CoC besides what I can find online. So, please look over my character carefully. I may of totally boned him over. Sorry

Ooh! I had forgotten about Dr. Vitus Lambert! Good choice, and player Watus has not been seen in EnWorld since July of this year (hasn't posted in over a year), so that works just fine. Let me know if you want to change Vitus's personality or gear.

To get yourself immediately into the action, you may consider that Vitus was getting settled in the medical facility on the ship, and was alerted by the explosion on the pier.

Wow! Øyvind's dice rolling skills have improved dramatically! OK. He has 4 grenades, but you might want to have him talk to Vittorio (who is a demolitions expert) before getting serious about using them, especially considering his recent "Operate Heavy Machinery" results.
