Hmm. You know, I just reread my lat in-game post, and it almost seem as if Normand is trying to get Marcel in trouble. Sorry for that Bobitron, it really wasn't my intention! I was just going for a "aww shucks sergeant, I would but I'm busy" sorta deal. That'll teach me to make a post before I have my first coffee!

Hey Shaman, I can't seem to get into the dice roller for Pyotr to shoot. Are you guys having the same problem?

The Vacuum Elemental site can be a little sketchy ( :\ ) - feel free to use Nadaka’s dice box instead if you like.shadowbloodmoon said:

Glad to have you back, знаток! Sorry you had to swtich to the graveyard schedule just so you could play the game...
(Hope I didn't mess up your character too badly... :\ )
When we started Wing and Sword I planned to write a story hour. I assumed I would simply take the game-thread and edit it a bit to create the story - then I thought, "Well, that's freakin' lame. We've all played the game-thread, so we know the story already." I pondered for awhile and then I came up with a solution, one that will hopefully add another layer to the game...
Today I started jotting down notes on a story hour that looks at Chat et Souris from the perspective of the ALN commander. This will result in a different, Rashômon-like narrative of the same events and give you some insight into what was happening "behind the screen" during the adventure. I'm going to start writing one evening this week, but I won't post anything until after the engagement ends. I hope you'll like it.
If this story hour idea is of interest, I'll do something similar with our future adventures - perhaps a story from the point of view of another legionnaire in your unit, one of your officers, a pied-noir or Muslim civilian, and so on.
Also, assuming all of your characters survive the current engagement (not a foregone conclusion, but it's looking better than it did about a minute or so of game-time), I'd like to enlist your help on some 'campaign-development' projects, expanding on certain details in your character backgrounds that will become part of the adventures in the future. I'll fill you in later...

That sounds great. We know our characters, but it would be interesting to see how the NPCs see us...
Oh and thanks for the compliment. I think I like this other dice server better.....

Well, impatient sort that I am, I wrote a short first chapter to the story hour at lunch and posted it on the board with a link in our entry in The Divine Records of Exalted Deeds and Vile Darkness. There are no real spoilers per se, but if you're concerned, you can wait until the current encounter is done to read it.
If you check out the 'Divine Records &c.' entry, you'll also note that the list of adventures and encounters has been expanded considerably. I have about three-quarters of the encounter/engagement descriptions written, and I hope to have the rest completed over the next couple of weeks.
You may note that two of the encounters are highlighted in gold. These are adventures out of the regular time-line of the game: Fort Gallieni takes place in Morocco shortly after WW I while Legion of Gaius Marius takes place in 106 BC! I'll ask each of you to create different characters for each of these adventures: a different set of French Foreign Legionnaires for the first one and a group of Roman Legionnaires (!) for the second. Each of these out-of-time adventures ties into events in the campaign of the 1950s...
I'll have a post to the game-thread this evening. Thanks for staying tuned!
