Oh man, that's surprisingly good. Only he could tag his name somewhere and have everyone think it was supposed to be referring to a philosopher. It's probably the first thing he tried, too!

Alright, what about something less benign?

I don't know. How wicked is Locke? I know he hurt Eliza but that was out of desperation. Has he tormented anyone intentionally?

Lets take a look at some of the NPC backgrounds, see if there's anything interesting


Male Unseen Hot -1 ★ | Cold 1 ★ | Volatile 2 | Dark -1 | Unhurt | Marked, Desperate | ●●●○○

I've tried to hint at him doing some absolutely horrific things before now. Part of the fun of Locke is being able to be a complete a*++$%+ if I want to, or worse. I was planning on seriously going off the deep end once Darkest Self hits too. Whether wickedness or desperation, both can take a person pretty far in what they'll do. I think it's going to be more cruel desperation than wickedness, though there's likely to be a level of sadistic pleasure in what he's doing once he does start going crazy like this.

Go as hard as you like with it. Blackmail, dismemberment, torture...I can think of more terrible things, but I'm not getting into that right now. Needless to say, he's done things that would traumatise a person, or just break them mentally altogether. I don't take him as a rapist, nor a murderer...though he might have accidentally killed someone once. No idea on that. But he can and will do utterly awful things, if pushed far enough. So let your imagination run wild. The goal is attention and acknowledgement, so bigger the spectacle, the better. Don't pull any punches.

Did we ever decide who killed Tyler?

Or Sarah? Didn't she die really gruesomely, like posed and stuff?

You could have been the reason that I crashed my car. Somebody appearing on a lonely road.

Tyler: The usual. Kid gets drunk from a party, has a stupid idea to drive. Kid meets tree face first. School is having a whole campaign and using Tyler's death as example along with the mourning. Doesn't feel right though. Felt like he was running away from something.

There might be some wiggle room with Tyler, but I don't know how you'd want to handle it. He won't have directly killed him, obviously, but this sounds like something that went too far because he wasn't careful.

Sarah hasn't shown up because she was murdered. They haven't yet found her carefully-posed body.

It's posed, sure, but that's all that's known. This feels sort of hidden to me, which wouldn't fit Locke's MO. There aren't enough fireworks. Besides, as I said, he's not a murderer. Any deaths would be accidental, and this is not.

Speaking of potential accidents:

I've got dibs on Lisa's mom. Eliza thinks he brother might have killed her

Still got a whole town! If you make up a new NPC, there's no backstory to adhere to.

It was on a road going through mountains or hills. I had written that it was a blown tire, but that's easy enough to retcon into having you mess with my car or seeing you appear out of nowhere.


Male Unseen Hot -1 ★ | Cold 1 ★ | Volatile 2 | Dark -1 | Unhurt | Marked, Desperate | ●●●○○

Here's Locke's 11 step plan to suffering soul-crushing guilt when you're already confused and alone.

Step 1: Go out to the hills to get away from people, just so he doesn't get reminded of his circumstances for a bit.
Step 2: Find car approaching on the way.
Step 3: Make an appearance with the thought that there could at least be a story of his appearance.
Step 4: Have a couple of realisations. One - they weren't going to remember ANYTHING to do with him. (It was early days for his condition. Still hadn't quite figured things out properly yet.) Two - They were liable to swerve off due to somebody appearing in the road, if he didn't get hit.
Step 5: Watch the second realisation become relevant.
Step 6: Start phoning for help...and remember they'd forget what he said as soon as the call ended. Start freaking out.
Step 7: Look over and see them stuck, knowing he caused this and he couldn't help it. The roof of the car had suffered enough damage that he could actually see what he'd wrought, and the state of the girl inside. Carrie? Oh god, she would have been fine if not for him. Wait, she's...still alive?
Step 8: Spend a lot of time trying to get help, and fail miserably.
Step 9: Go back into town, to get help. He had to.
Step 10: Fail, repeatedly. Keep going back to see if Carrie was still alive.
Step 11: Find the car falling in the final visit. Start puking off the hill.

==========

A day or two later, Locke finds Carrie walking about as normal. He breaks down crying right then and there. She's alive. Somehow. But...how? HOW? He SAW her fall in that car. He saw the state she was in. Even if she could have survived...she's uninjured. That's...that's impossible.

He appears from behind her so as not to startle her and engages her, posing as someone she'd met a few times. Well, they had met, but she wouldn't remember. He asks after her, and says about a "rumour" that she'd managed to end up off a cliff in a car. He takes in the response, and sees himself off.

He stays away from her after that, for the most part. She died. There was no doubt there. Even if everyone else's memories were going, his weren't. He knew what he saw. But how do you tell someone you saw them die, and it was your fault?

==========

Juliet was supposed to have seen you die, but...she isn't here. It seems Locke ended up doing that instead as I've laid it out - being the reason for it happening, no less. Think it's worth swapping some names in your list of strings?
In case we're going with this - what are you able to remember, with regards to Locke?

Since Juliet doesn't seem to be coming back, this works really well.

-----

In the night she keeps thrashing, like she's done for weeks. In her dreams she sees him, outlined in the headlights. It's always the same, his face starts with joy, then fear, then shock. When she wakes up, she always has the feeling that she's only remembering part of the dream. She's a little angry at somebody, but sad for them too. It's very confusing. At first it was just a dream, but since it keeps happening, she's starting to feel it's significant.

-----

"What?!" She says with a flash of pain and shock. She quickly clamps down on that. "That's crazy. I've never..." The voice trails off as she looks away.

-----

As she was going towards gym class, she sees something across the schoolyard. A face in the crowd. Her reanimated heart races for moment. A second later the crowd shifts and she's wondering what got her all riled up. For some reason she's thinking about those weird dreams...

-----

She doesn't remember him yet, but she's getting there.

By the way, does your power work on animals? She lives in a junkyard, so they have to have a couple of Rottweilers to watch over the place. Muttzarella and Wagamuffin.

It's listed as affecting everything with a mind. Not even Mittens remembers him. That said, anything that isn't sentient will be fine. A camera, for example, or any recording device in general can pick up and record him as well as it would anyone else.

Need to get someone who's vulnerable to sign on with Adallosit, get some more XP ;)


Male Unseen Hot -1 ★ | Cold 1 ★ | Volatile 2 | Dark -1 | Unhurt | Marked, Desperate | ●●●○○

Wow.

I'm not sure what's worse, that you thought of it first, or that I have a problem with the fact you managed to think of it before me.


Male Infernal Hot 0 ★ | Cold -1 | Volatile 1 ★ | Dark 1 | Unhurt | psycho, dead meat | ••••

Damn. That's inapropes.


Male Unseen Hot -1 ★ | Cold 1 ★ | Volatile 2 | Dark -1 | Unhurt | Marked, Desperate | ●●●○○

Hey, given the subject matter, it may well be a legitimate question. You did sign on with a demonic power, or something close enough it doesn't matter. They tend to do these sorts of things.


It's good to know boundaries, especially with a game so dangerously close to reality. probably should have asked that (I thought of it back in DW, why not for MH)

so, I will pose the quetion now, does anyone have boundaries they don't want crossed in this game. I have a couple, but I want to be careful of those any of you might have.

It is, and I guess I wouldn't be more disturbed by that than anything else that's happened yet. That wasn't why I went after Kate, just to be clear. I picked her 'cause I could tap her condition. I need all the help I can get with my luck.

I do plan on going after anything that moves, so to speak. My sex move dumps one of the strings the Dark Power has on me onto someone else, so I can hold off my Darkest Self triggering a bit longer.


Male Fury Hot -1, Cold -1, Volatile 2, Dark 1

Eh...in terms of lines not wished to be crossed, if sex could be kept on the consensual side of things....that would be preferred tbh.

I'm not about to cross that line. I'm interested to hear Aldrea's answer though, given her moves.

I believe she has Locke but under her account name d'Eon.

As for me, as long as it is consensual by player and players, with consent of GM, I'm fine with it.

Yeah, Sexual assault is kinda my limit as well. there might be a couple others, but I kinda doubt I'll be the one to have the tightest limitation

Male Infernal Hot 0 ★ | Cold -1 | Volatile 1 ★ | Dark 1 | Unhurt | psycho, dead meat | ••••

I'm going to guess Gameday stuff? I just need my move fulfilled and I'm good too.


So, since school started, i have found I have less time than expected... I'm not sure if I can keep running this game (Also might have to drop out of one or two where I'm a player).

So, knowing this, do we want to continue, knowing that I might be forced to drop this at some point (I will tell you guys if it is, I won't just ghost you, I promise), or end it before we get too into this game/invested in t hese characters. (Or, if one of you wanted to step up and GM fr the rest, I would share what I have for notes, all 10 sentaces, but thats a long shot, I know)

As an old hand in PBP, I've seen this many a time.

Something I've seen work in some games is setting a specific schedule instead of posting every day. Figure out a point that you can spend time on this. I'd rather have a game that updated twice a week than one that dies.


Male Unseen Hot -1 ★ | Cold 1 ★ | Volatile 2 | Dark -1 | Unhurt | Marked, Desperate | ●●●○○

Agreed. I'd rather keep this going, and as long as there's a consistent update schedule (even if it has to be changed a few times), I'll be happy. Whatever you can manage. Comfortably manage, it might be worth adding.

I agree with the other posters. I like this game (more than my other MH game, frankly) and I'd hate to lose it. That being said, if this game is going to hurt the DW game then go ahead and kill it ;)


Male Fury Hot -1, Cold -1, Volatile 2, Dark 1

I'd have to say I default to the DM's time restrictions. I can understand how pressuring making posts on time can be, so I won't be offended if you still wanted to end the campaign. But if the game continues, I'll try and adapt to the form it takes.

I will say up front, locke, that I take a slightly looser reading of the rules at times, to facilitate the narrative.

Didn't mean it like that. Just mean to say I have no clue what your angle is here.

I'm sure there's something anyway - maybe someone similarly unfortunate. I was speculating about robots too before. Why robots? Why not robots?
