Grimm listens to Cu's darker tale of the faerie, watching to see how interested others are in the story. Though he appreciates Cu sharing, maybe he is not so much in a learning mood as a story telling mood, and he follows it up with a story of his own, about brownies tormenting a human who didn't re...

Dice Rolling To roll dice, you should log into unseenservant.com and create an account. Create a character, using campaign ID 812 . This is just a means to link your rolls to our campaign, not re as lly creating a "character". Roll dice by going to the "roll dice" tab, selecting...

Sounds good. Lessee, just confirming... Stanley was going to be in the lower security wing, run by Finn, rather than the max security wing, right? Nancy certainly doesn't "need" to be Finn's obsession. I just saw that it might make things a little more interesting. The three of you all pla...

Do you think Nancy still works, or does Bobby provide for her? Seems like taking care of Fred would benefit from at least living together, though if she was a neighbor, I suppose she could "take him" when you work late. I'm thinking that Stanley could be a "trusty"... an inmate g...

Awesome. Alright... so, I *think* that at the moment, I mostly need you guys to each articulate your view on the other pc... are they just a work associate? a friend (+1 relation)? connected to your dark secret? they have something you're jealous of? Also, I need you each to think of 2 "dramati...

With the late additions, you have 4 Checks. You must take turns spending them. When all four are spent, Camp Phase ends and we return to the Adventure Phase. Are these checks that are "shared" by the group, or are they to be used/distributed by those that "earned" them? Grimm mi...

Yes indeed. It's a *player* thing... from the rules: A dramatic hook is a player request for their character to take a certain action during the story. During each game session, each player should have two dramatic hooks for their character. At the beginning of the first session, the player gets to ...

Hi folks! My “goal” is to start things rolling about Monday. It’ll start gently, and I can adjust as people get up to speed, but we have two people about ready to go and two that don’t seem to have much progress, yet. Mike and flesh, What I still need from you are two “dramatic hooks”... Things you ...

Hi rossik, Based on what you described, you might want "bad reputation" and "broken" as disadvantages. Bad reputation means that you will have trouble as people recognize you from the news coverage. Broken means that you cannot fully recover from past mental trauma... I would enc...

Looks great :) The warden may have just seen Bobby in action and decided to award him with a promotion... it seems like Bobby is someone who would go along with especially... brutal treatment of the prisoners. Maybe the warden saw you do something way out there (under the influence of your mark, or ...

Hi Rossik, welcome back! We have an active character creation thread going here , and there is a character sheet thread here . I'd encourage you to start with the list of dark secrets and disadvantages, in this thread with character creation material here . It's my hope that we can get you and Scott...

mik, Tell me about a few of your stats... What does it say about Finn that he has such a high perception? What does that mean for him? And on the flip side, he has a very low "soul"... I guess this is connected to his rationalist disadvantage? What does that mean for him? It's interesting ...

The island is physically isolated but not physically far from the city proper. It's in the river between Manhattan (the main "city" part of NYC) and Queens (which is full of factories and such). While it is possible to get on and off via boats, which is how most patients and inmates tend t...

Mik, good stuff! Flesh, I like what you're suggesting, sounds interesting! Let's flesh out the son a bit. Is this a kid, or is he grown? Where would he be at? Somewhere on the island, or somewhere else. Broadly speaking, it's better if the connections are accessible rather that off screen, so checki...

Hi Scott!

No worries, hope all is well.

My recommendation is to not worry terribly about the system or stats at first... look over the dark secrets and disadvantages and see if something inspires you. You mentioned a veteran... a guilty addict, or one who is depressed and haunted?

Mik & newflesh, You can also choose and develop how you are connected to *each other* and I'd invite you to flesh that out a bit :) Here are a few choices... you do not need to be symmetric in this. The character is an associate from work. The character is a lover or a friend. Take +1 Relation w...

Newflesh,

There's a list of "next steps" in this post: viewtopic.php?f=875&t=9521#p462695

If you are feeling good about what you have so far, go ahead and have a look at those to get a bit mor fleshed out

Sorry about the AWOL! I'm kind of still meditating on my guy, trying to make him clearer in my mind. And I was also kind of waiting to see what the other two players were thinking, too (I was kind of hesitant to hog all the cool disadvantages like Marked and Schizo to myself, honestly). But I guess...

Sounds good, mik. Just a couple more steps... :) 1) Think about those character questions, to help ground you in the setting. 2) You need to organize your stats (see the other character creation thread for the list) 3) We need some relations... people that you know and care about. We can do those wi...

Hi folks. It's been about 3 days since anyone posted, and 2 of you haven't posted at all. Is everything ok?
