Masks of Nyarlathotep [OOC]

[Krug]

Guys, Toric had mentioned recruiting more players - since I haven't heard from Krug, and we're loosing the Professor I think it's still a good idea.

What'cha think? Do we start another recruitment thread?

I'm here... was wondering what happened to the game.

Ok read up.. I'm fine with VB continuing the campaign. Lets go!

KRUG!!! Great to see ya buddy!

Sorry for the delay guys, but there's a lot to go through in this adventure (it's 200+ pages). Still, I should be ready to go by the end of the week.

OK. After three days power-reading Masks and some *really* funky dreams, I'm all set to go.

Here's what I'd like to do. Since there are still a bunch of leads that can be followed up in NYC (hint, hint ) we'll pick up exactly where we left off - your characters are standing in front of Carter's hospital room at Bellevue deciding your next move. Since the Professor will no longer be a memeber of the expedition, he's going to be transferred to a chronic/long-term mental-health facility (Seaview Hospital and Home for Developmental and Cognitive Disorders) in NYC. When he is released it might be beneficial to your party to have him remain in New York as a contact person if necessary.

So brush up on the IC thread if you need to, and jump on in!

While things are in a lull (Kit's moving, and Toric is picking up the BtMoM PbP game) I figured I'd consolidate some of the leads so far into this post to try and make it easier to pick up the game when everyone returns.

What You Know

Still missing but presumed dead are the expedition's principal members: Roger Carlyle, Sir Aubrey Penhew, Hypatia Masters, and Dr. Robert Huston.

Hi!

After a google search, I came upon this game that I started over three and half years ago. It was very fun and had a lot of really wonderful players in it.

It ended just at the finish of the first chapter of the game and I take full responsibility for it ending. I had some RL problems that just swamped me at the time. Sorry to those who I left in a lurch.


Well, I got thinking. Several of my original players are still very active on the boards. What if they were still interested in playing and have the game reboot where they left off. I could also add some new blood if needed.

So any of the old gang interested in starting this up again.

How about it?

Thanks for the heads up YS! I'm definitely up for a re-boot - with the caveat that I read the adventure to pick up where you left off, but that was three years ago and I haven't really had an opportunity to look at it since (my players here really aren't into CoC).
