Resurrection City

[Andrew D. Gable]

I found something on the Internet today which I found blackly humorous. It's really neither here nor there and has nothing really to do with the game. But apparently, when he was 15, the Elephant Man undertook a brief career as a door-to-door salesmen (keep in mind 1877 is before he received his 'disguise'). Wonder how many windows he sold...

Ok. That's bent. Talk about picking a job that doesn't go to your strengths. Although, from what little I know about him, he was a pretty sharp guy. Maybe he figured his appearance would get him sympathy sales.

Andrew, I just wanted to remind you that I am going to be mostly unavailable from 5/19 to 6/1. I'm really enjoying the game and am definitely planning to return, but I won't be able to check the ol' internet much during that time.

Man I suck at combat

well of course my character in Andrew's Conan game is a GREAT in combat! Man can I switch

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

Karl: Yeah, well, your other guy's also a really big Vanir who swears by Ymir a lot. And uses a monstrous sword, as opposed to a pool cue. And the other guys aren't too shabby in a scrap, either - thieves are just plain disgusting once their sneak attacks kick in. But disgusting in a good way. I might try out Conan with my RL group, too. But something tells me they'd all be Cimmerians, and their names would be Conn, Konn, and Konan...

Jim: OK. I'll work something out there, just never you fear.

I run a Conan and a Spellslinger (opposite weekends) face-to-face. In the Conan game, their is a Nomad, a Border, a Scholar, and a Thief... no Cimmerians

The Nomad is a total bad@$$ in combat, followed by the Border. The thief can be REALLY bad also with his improved Feint and back-stab ability. The scholar is pretty much totally worthless in combat. He has one spell that is not to bad but he has to touch people to use it...

Now Andrew you have to post in the BPRD game! Surprise, Undead, Combat, Action... waiting on Kongming

NOW as for Pastor Miller, MAN next round I am spending some action dice!!!!

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

Oh shoot, forgot all about that, Karl! Dang, who knows what I missed out on...sheesh...goin' over to check it now. Sorry 'bout that.

Since we're winding down to the end of the first adventure, I may as well give you guys some idea about what to expect from here on in. The rest of the adventures will be a bit more open than this one; i.e., you won't have a sage NPC like DEDI most of the time. Basically, things are going to start being more driven by you guys and your actions than by the DM. This adventure was structured pretty simply, as it served mainly to get you guys together and used to each other. Your contacts might start becoming more useful.

Kajamba, a question on your background: where was Diggory during the Ripper murders? He was an inspector, we know that, he seems to have flip-flopped between St. Giles and Whitechapel, which was he in in Aug.-Nov. 1888? It might be important later. Those areas were in two separate divisions of the Metropolitan Police, but it seems that, historically, policemen did tend to move quite a bit.

Hi, Andrew. Enjoying the game thus far. It's good stuff. As for Diggory, he was in Whitechapel at the time.

Best,
Nick
