Let’s use this thread to discuss any extensive out of character information or general chatter.

There is a small write up in this adventure that pertains to many horrors of racism in the 1920’s era in the US.

You guys have all been awesome so far at keeping the “feel” of that time going in game, so I don’t find it necessary to spell it all out for you.

There are a couple of encounters in this game where you may sense a bit of it (like Pete’s latest comment), but for the sake of decency, I am not going to go overboard with that concept.

I hope that everyone here is smart enough to know that racism is an ugly fact of life that has no place in modern society, despite its growing popularity lately among.....well....I won’t go there, but you get the message.

As I mentioned, I will keep that theme to a bare minimum, but please speak up if you are offended in any way by how I write it into the game.

Thanks!

RL commitments are keeping me from posting. Don't let me slow things.

Are we close to Rene's target house? If so, he might look if he could actually run away from the area and get into the house at the same time.

No.

That was not a house, it was a garage, and it was on the other end of town, in a industrial area, nearly outside of Harlem altogether.

Enjoying the game.

Enjoying the game.

I am glad to hear that.

It has been a bit of a balance to post enough pertinent information, without writing half a novel in my updates, but otherwise I think it's going pretty well so far.

I think 4 players is a bit easier to manage for this system as well.

Coming to auction on October 14 is a 16-leaf autographed manuscript of H. P. Lovecraft’s short story, “Pickman’s Model.” The story was published in the October 1927 issue of Weird Tales.

As an added bonus, the entire manuscript is written on the verso of typed correspondence with Lovecraft's colleagues, including James F. Morton, August Derleth, W. Paul Cook, and Victor E. Bacon. (The author tended to reuse old letters this way.) It is likely a later draft, according to Heritage Auctions, dating to sometime in 1926 and closely matching the typescript with final edits held in Brown University Library’s Lovecraft collection.

Currently bid to $5,500 and expected to go much higher, the manuscript comes from the private collection of the late Gary Munson, a dedicated collector of genre fiction. Other highlights include a nicely bound first edition of Frankenstein, the first appearance of Tarzan, and a first edition (in dust jacket) of The Hobbit.

I think I’m losing my sanity.

I keep seeing the same message over and over.

Enjoy!

I think we are in a few of the same games. LOL Thanks it was a good weekend, a bit wet but it was good to be back in the woods again.

[OGRE MAGE]

I will be heading down to Gamehole Con this afternoon, so my posting rate will drop considerably or maybe completely till Monday.

[Grognardsw]

Have fun. What are you playing?

[Rex]

Heading into the woods until the end of the month. I may be back for a day in the middle depending on how things go but don't count on it.. Feel free to NPC my character.
Have a great rest of the month everyone,
Rex

PS. sorry to everyone who has to read this many times, LOL.

[OGRE MAGE]

Have fun. What are you playing?

I ran 2 games.

AD&D 1E

And an AS&SH game.

We played some S&W, Traveller, a few board games and got in a CoC game ran by one of their writers, James Lowder.

Another absolutely awesome time at our favorite convention of the year.

[Grognardsw]

Sounds fun.

Happy Halloween

Happy Halloween!

[OGRE MAGE]

Sorry for the short notice but……

I will be away from the boards for a couple days, and might have some spotty internet connections for the next couple of weeks.

I will try to keep up with the game as best I can, but expect a considerably slower pace from me until around the 20th.

Thanks for your patience over the next couple weeks!

Tidings of madness and woe on this solstice season!
