It’s a large campaign with a lot going on, and it could get confusing, so I’m going to take special steps to organize our information so that we all can easily keep track of where we are in the game. This BMoM compaign is a little different from some games in that there is a strong storyline that we’ll weave our activities through, but if your characters choose to deviate from the storyline, I’ll certainly allow you to do so and will modify the storyline as appropriate. So, you might ask, what does this mean? Here’s the details: 1. EVENTSEach week or two, I expect that we’ll work through a key game or storyline event. Occasionally there will be more than one key event in a week, or perhaps less than one every week if we’re working through a detailed encounter, but I’ll try to present at least one every week or two so that we develop a rhythm to our game. I’ll keep a running list of these events as described below. If you expect to be busy for an extended period of time in real life (i.e. RL), and you know that you won’t be able to respond during that period, let me know so that I can roleplay your character, if needed. 2. CAMPAIGN INFORMATIONI have begun thread entitled “EVIDENCE & EVENTS – Mountains of Madness” that I’ll use to to 1) collect/display all key evidence that your team uncovers and also 2) to list a timeline of important dates so that you can see, at a glance, what happened recently and what is expected to happen soon. For the most part, this will be a thread that only I add to; if you feel that an event or certain evidence should be added to this thread, just post something here in the OOC thread to let me know and I’ll add it. This thread will be a “One stop shopping” area for our campaign information. I’ll post both the Gametime and expected Realtime dates for these events so that you can try to plan your character’s actions and also your RL writing time. In this OOC thread, we may decide to adjust the dates (Realtime and/or Gametime) for these events depending on everyone’s schedules and planned in-game activities. Take a look at my <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=141464" target="_blank">"EVENTS & EVIDENCE"</a> post to get an idea what I mean. Let me know your thoughts. 3. OUR NEXT KEY EVENT - The FundraiserOur first deadline is the meeting in New York City at the Amherst Hotel on August 14, 1933 for the SE-M Expedition Fundraiser. I’d like to post a description of the start of this event by no later than next weekend, August 5th, in Realtime. That means that within the next week-and-a-half in realtime, you should try to post whatever actions your character would take prior to this event in NYC. 4. EXPERIENCE AND LEVELING UPI expect to follow the general guidelines as written in the D20 CoC rulebook regarding awarding experience. That is, your characters in the story will reach a new level after completing approximately 13 (a wonderful number!) objectives. An objective is a little different than an event in the game;  not every event will equate to completing an objective and some VERY difficult objectives might be worth up to twice the normal award. Our “EVIDENCE & EVENTS” thread also provides a list of “COMPLETED OBJECTIVES” so that you are fully aware of your character’s experience status in the game. As you can see from the <a href="http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=141464" target="_blank">"EVENTS & EVIDENCE"</a> thread, you will have completed 3 objectives once we complete the Expedition Kickoff Meeting on Sept 1, 1933. --------------------------------------Job (the tortured one).</blockquote>
