Gomez's Masks of Nyarlathotep Game: OOC

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

I'm also running a great deal of PbP games (and have been doing so for over a year), and I'll agree with Andrew that occasional NPCing may become necessary if people don't post. I've finally had to institute a policy warning people that their characters would be under DM control if they dropped out of sight without warning.

While glossing over some research can be beneficial, it's kind of core to Call of Cthulhu campaigns. However, when anything begins to bog down a game, it can usually be nudged along by the DM to get the game moving again. I've found this to be true no matter what kind of game you're running.

Here is a timeline of events in the game.

January 13th, 1925 (I changed the starting date from the 12th)
-Father Mallery gets the telegram from Jackson Elias.
-He contacts the others and they meet for dinner that night to go over their research into the Carlyle Expedition.

January 14th, 1925
-E.G. visits the Pillar/Reposte newspaper.
-Miriam does some snooping and goes to Ricco's Speakeasy to see if she can talk to Erica Carlyle. Charles meets her there.
-William does some digging to find anything on the african woman, Nichonka Bunay.
-Father O'Malley uses his church sources to find out anything about the Carlyle Expedition and comes up empty handed. Later that night he gets a phone call from Jackson Elias who tells him to meet him at his hotel the following day at 7:00 PM.

Cannibal Kender has not posted in 12 days and Album Cover X has not posted in 8. :\ If they don't become more active in the next day or so I am doing to let the alternates get into the game.

Maerdwyn and manifold,
You can start building your characters so they can come in on a moments notice. Ok?

Hopefully this will get the game rolling!

Will do - I'm away until Monday however, is that okay?

I'm gonna have to drop out anyhow so whoever wanted my spot from before can have it. My new work schedule has been a killer. oh well...

Just thought you'd like to know instead of just disappearing and never posting... maybe I'll play in a game or run something down the road when my schedule stablizes...

Thanks for saying something. Nice to know that you didn't hate the game! Good luck on your job and I hope you get to do some gaming on here soon. Thanks to trying my game!

Hey Gomez, I have a question. I originally wanted Miriam to have the Psychometry feat, but since it looked like at the time KainTheSeeker was going to do that, I did not. But since he never did, could I possibly swap Dowsing for Psychometry? It really fits Miriam's character better. But if you'd rather I not, I understand.

Thats is ok with me! So go ahead and change it if you want.

I would like to add one more player to the game. So if your interested just say so!
