Same here, everything should now be calming down again. Time to get back to the games, I hope. ;-)
One would hope, yes?

Okay, I'm here, just trying to figure out if we should reconfigure since the central character dropped out. We can use Gabe as an NPC but it was better when he was a PC.
Plus while we've got Brad and Jane on board with the Gabe storyline it doesn't look like Steve and Raven are gelling. I could bring in more hooks from existing PCs' backgrounds to give the story more immediacy for the group, and I was already planning on having an NPC from somebody's background come in to look for Gabe, but I'm wondering if maybe we should just shift the focus away from Gabe altogether.
Anyone have any thoughts?
Up to you to be honest, running him as an NPC might work though, as you can then control the options in that regard.
I'll agree though that Steven and Raven didn't seem to get on that well, but that might be more due to the setting. Admittedly though, they do seem to come from VERY different viewpoints in that Raven seems to want attention (and his powers certainly run in that direction), whereas Steven and the others are trying their best to stay under the radar.
Trying to reconcile that character divide has been a bit of an issue with me, as well. Jane hasn't met Raven yet, but if he's still being splashy/flashy, odds are she'd stay far and away.

I don't mind a refocus. Brad's very invested in Gabe right now, but if he can get Gabe out of town or in some other stable situation then it's all settled for him.
That is the trouble when everyone, except me, are playing paranoid characters. That is not a criticism. I have played characters that are more paranoid, and for good reason. When Raven is off the the stage, he is not trying to be flashy. He would dress down, but of course, that won't stop the attention, since he is basically a nova incubus. He really was trying make a friend with James, because as he said, boredom is dangerous to him. Plus, he is alone, one night stands are one thing, friendship is another. He he is a social character, and could be the public face for the group.

It wasn't a criticism of your character. :)
Let's see what happens on the next day anyways, as James isn't likely to write someone off right away. Besides, I kinda figured that the two of them likely had a fair bit of small talk in between our RP'ed bits. Otherwise it would have been the weirdest day ever for either of them ;-)
So let's see what our GM cooks up for the evening, and let's let James and Raven finish up their evening? :)
I know it wasn't a criticism. Don't forget, for Raven it was a weird day. Raven wouldn't use his powers on any he is trying to be friends with. He is social, so he means it when he tells someone he would like to be his friend.
My problem is that I can pull Steve into Gabe's story with someone from his past. Raven's tougher to get involved in this unless he chooses to involve himself. Were the two of them going to meet back up the next day or did they just go their separate ways?
They were supposed to meet up the next day, after James finishes work. To go see the sights as it were.
I am not an unreasonable player, If you need me to get involved in the plot, we will figure out a way for it to happen.
Something blew up at work, guys, sorry. I've got a cabinet member yelling at my boss's boss. It's been crazy the past couple of weeks. I'm hoping to get back to regular posting by mid-week next week.
Still here, so no rush for me. :)
Still here. Still watching. Still waiting. Things happen in life!

Why would you put members on furniture and how do they y- Oh! I get it now. :)
Don't worry about it. Thanks for telling us.
Since this is now moved to previous campaigns, I'm going to assume that it's ended.
Thanks for trying though folks. :)
