[Re-Recruiting!][OOC]Pickman's Model Revisited[CoC]

[Dakkareth]

Well, it all seems pretty clear. To me, the player at least. And attempting a mind read on a worm that walks cultleader would indeed have been the unwise choice

And I can already see Jens taking the fast path down to insanity. With the sensitve feat and mind reading he is predestined for this fate (as was his grandfather), not to mention, that he's the only one able to read greek and is of the opinion, that such incredible sources of scientific revelation should be open to the public instead of being closed away by a small group of creepy fanatics.


That is of course, if he doesn't die first


And I'm of the opinion, that you're handling this very well

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

Duhh! A worm that walks! *Slaps self*

And do we have any bets that the other book in Greek is the Necronomicon?

 

[bruin]

Thanks for the suggestions Andrew, and thanks for the good words Dakkareth. Glad to see I'm doing alright so far.

Now, to get down to some REAL business...*muffled evil laugh *

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

Well, guess I should add that I think you're doing a fine job so far, too. If only my game was so good...

 

[bruin]

Thanks guys. Currently I'm working up the text for the police report and diary. I'm trying to make these as detailed as possible, and since we're waiting on Vorlon anyway I might as well take my time.

I think I'll be posting those things up somewhere (I guess in the story hour? Have to check the board for the best spot to put supplements) by the end of today or tomorrow night. I have to teach a class tomorrow, so I won't be able to do much of anything in the morning or early afternoon. Any way, more goodies on the way as we sit around.

Okay, the Props page is up. Newspaper article is there, diary should be up by tomorrow night or Thursday morning.

Was doing some research this morning, looking for some details to flesh out Thurber's diary entries. I found this remarkable little visual tour to the areas of the North End that Lovecraft was referring to: Pickman's Lair. Just so you know, I'll be fictionalizing a lot of aspects of this (I'm not particularly interested in finding the "true" location of Pickman's North End residence), but this is still a neat resource for some of the atmosphere of the alleys in the North End.

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

Nifty, nifty stuff. I love these kind of "walking tours" of where things were, then and now.

 

[Dakkareth]

I'm very sorry for the delay, but apparently my ISP for some reason can't link me to ENWorld - I was unable to connect.

 

[bruin]

Enworld apparently has a bandwith problem that's been discussed a bit on the meta board. So everyone's been having some trouble getting through here and there, from what I gather.

[Heh, just spent fifteen minutes trying to get this message posted. Luckily I always copy what I write before I post]

And I guess we're moving on, Vorlon or no Vorlon. He's had five days to respond, so I'll just run him as an NPC until he shows up. If he doesn't return, I'll keep running the character and when one of you guys die or go insane you can take over his character. Oops, I meant "if" one of you guys die or go insane.

And check the IC thread again, as later tonight I'll be updating something there and the diary will be up on the Props page tonight or tomorrow. I had something I was going to update with as you were driving back to Boston that you should see when it's up.

 

[Dakkareth]

I looked at the props thread ... does that mean, we should read the story you gave us the link to?

Anyway, I'll be away until tomorrow evening ...
