Resurrection City

Andrew: In my post, I massaged Arthur's "aunt" reference to be Trevor's grandmother's sister instead of his mother's (or father's). These events were 50 years ago, so assuming Trev's parents were 25 when he was born they would only have been 5 at the time.

Plus this way Arthur and Trevor are 2nd cousins instead of 1st. Sound good?

Sure. It's what was intended, Arthur just said aunt rather than great-aunt.

Arthur's sort of a pain in the posterior, and I think that's starting to show through somewhat.

Oh, yes. Excellent characterization

Andrew, I've had an idea for Trevor's background that I'd like to discuss with you. Could you please contact me via e-mail: sluggybunbun AT hotmail DOT com.

Thanks.

Yeah, I saw your post about being away. If you'd like a space in the game, you're more than welcome to make a character. I think everything relevant is posted on here already, as this isn't 100% by-the-book d20 Modern, but close. Just FYI, we have four people here already, playing an archaeologist, a police detective and occultist, a priest, and a member of the minor nobility.

I figured you'd want in, that's why I left the note up.

Thanks I'm going with a doctor who focuses more on exotic brews to cure his patients than on his surgical tools. I've still got to write up his background and detail his other contact, but here are some stats for my character:

[Andrew D. Gable]

Nice. You know, it's somewhat eerie how well your collective characters fit into what'll be the plotline later.

And on first (non-detailed) glance, I thought your contact was Thomas Cutbush. And I thought, gee, cool, this guy has a Jack The Ripper suspect as a contact. LOL.

Thanks.

Just wrote you a moment ago.

 

[JimAde]

Andrew, with your permission I would like Trevor to have brought along his brand new Gramophone (just came in from America) and a couple of records. It seems like the kind of thing that would go over big as after-dinner entertainment. Is that OK?

 

[Andrew D. Gable]

Sure.

Hey Jarval:
Since the e-mail thing's been disabled, drop me a line here with your e-mail and that way I'll send a message your way when Dr. Hewitt enters the game. He should be able to come in soon, all things willing...

 

[JimAde]

Andrew: Just let me know when Trevor has gathered his wits again. This sort of thing just doesn't happen at the club!
