Tales From the Watcherverse

Game Master Echos Myron

Just to be totally clear, as a player, I was deliberately creating in character tension. I was intending for Dustman to play on the trope of Punisher, Woverine, Huntress, and all of the other characters who have to have conversations with their peers about killing.

Not trying to mess with anyone's fun or change the tone of the campaign.

I wanted to make a slight change to Escher. That since the effect, his emotions are muted. However, when something gets to him, he's overwhelmed by them.

Dropping charisma and charisma skills to add half-immunity to emotion effects, with the weak spot drawback.

Is that okay?

Fine by me

I figured.

Hope everyone had a great weekend. I'm back home with the day off to recuperate.

Spent yesterday and today trying to figure out why a new toilet I installed was leaking. Feeling like a moron because it is literally tightening two bolts to keep it from leaking. Finally I just lie down under it and watch it for half and hour and find out the tank has an invisible crack that is seeping.

I had toilet problems a few months ago and it was a nightmare. Luckily it wasn't as bad as yours. Hope it gets sorted out soon.

Hey guys, still only have two .PORs.

Get em over to me at jay felix at gmail
I'm going to try to use hero lab to help with encounters, so those files are important.
Send over any villains too.

I only have the free version, so I can't export the por file. I ran him through Hero Labs to make sure the points added up, but that was it.

Could someone more careful than I possibly type up Father Pavel into HeroLab? I'll do it if no one else can, but I fear I may miss some things.

I can do it on Tuesday.

Thanks Quark. If you have any questions about how I entered things, feel free to message me. I entered it a few different times, so everything should balance out perfectly in terms of numbers.

Home improvement projects are kind of kicking my butt right now, and Pavel is pretty complicated, so it is taking longer than expected to work through his build.

Everyone still alive? Seems like the boards took a big hit last night. I know Joey and I both were told that our accounts didn't exist and that there was no record of our email/password. I'm sure it's all blown over but if youre able to read this but can't log in, email me to let me know.

Just making some eggs with my little guy, ready for whatever! :)

Yeah, I tried logging in a bunch of times thinking I had lost my password.

Luckily I was at the movies last night and seem to have avoided the problem.

I just got a "Site could not answer your request" error, so I couldn't even get to the log in screen. It all seems fine now.

Sorry I haven't posted on the game forum; it was showing up as hidden from my list for some reason. I was thinking, why has no one posted? This is sure moving slowly for a new game...

I'll get something posted as soon as I can manage. It's Canada Day here though, so I'll be with my family for most if the day.

Sorry guys! I'll have a post up tonight. This whole site glitch is still messing with things for me (can't access my campaigns or anything without focusing and going down the list). Easy on PC but annoying on phone.

Traitor! You failure to entertain us will be punished severely!

Just kidding, no worries - tech issues happen. Thanks for the heads up.

I'm travelling over the weekend, so I may not get a chance to post again until Monday. Have a good weekend everybody.

@Joey, go ahead and run Nemesis for now.

@Everyone:
So sorry the pace has been so slow. Work has been a nightmare, but we've hired some extra people so I'll have more time to concentrate on the game. Hope everyone's still on board.

Still here, and can't wait to get the Fens cleaned up! :)

Still here.

Not going anywhere.

Not going anywhere.

Nope you are a persistent one lol

I'm good. Just let us know when you can go.

Joey, you would've had time to Nemesis up before he threw his first punch.

Sorry for being absent for so long! Work slowed down, but real life picked up and I've been busy with band stuff.

I'm also running my first table game soon! Pretty nervous about it. It's set in the Marvel universe, as a "what if" the X-Men were founded in the early 2000's scenario.

In regards to this game, should I wrap up the current scene and start fresh after both groups have gathered their information?

Sounds good to me.

Hey Echos, just checking in to see how things are going. I presume life or work is keeping you preoccupied, but thought I would ask for a status update in regards to this game. Let us know if we will need to be on hiatus a bit longer, or if things will be picking up again soon.

I'll be able to pick things back up soon! Were we all ok with starting fresh after everyone split up?

certainly

Sounds good.

Thank you guys for being so patient with me. While work slowed down, other real life activities went up, and I ended up losing my notebook with all my game notes (which contained notes on this game, my weekly game, and most of my past games. I was devastated.)

I will certainly follow the others since they aren't too likely to follow me.

@Echos, that's why I use an online backup. I was never good at remembering to do them, but when it's automatic it's amazing. It has saved my ass several times. I use Mozy, but there are lots of others out there.

Echos, how's it going? Any news or thoughts in regards to this game?

Sorry, I just don't have it in me to run a game online :(
My only access to the Internet is via phone now and I've been getting more involved with IRL hobbies. I was really looking forward to running an online game, but now I know better. It takes the right kind of person to keep focus and enthusiasm to run a pbp game.

That is too bad. I like the premise for this game, and I think it would have been a lot of fun. Tis a shame.

I'm not giving up yet.

Bold words, but I'm under the impression Echos is throwing in the towel...

Planning to step in and take over? I'm really looking forward to your Dresden-ish game!

So it has taken me a while to feel confident answering this question, but I think the answer could be yes if there is still interest.

I've been running a couple of tables of a Dresden inspired Mutants and Masterminds, and I think it is going pretty well. It isn't too onerous or time consuming, and I find that I am here all of the time checking for new posts.

As for plotline, there were already some connections between what was going on in this campaign and thoughts I had for Dr. Quark, and I had made some interesting long term plans for The Dustman that I could spin out.

So what I am saying is that I have a couple of interesting scenarios that I could run for this campaign. For the moment, I would continue to play The Dustman as a character. I would need to better understand the characters of whoever is interested in continuing, but you guys can get me up to speed.

My other campaigns are called Monsters of Men Table 1 and Monsters and Men Table 2 if you want to look at those as an audition. Some of the players in this campaign are in those campaigns, so they could act as references.

Also, that last post sounds a little like I am running a campaign just to pimp my own characters as the all important DMPC's, but that is not my intention.

Well, I'm still around and still gunnin' to play. If you were interesting in taking I've this game, I'd be more than happy to play in it. I'm one of those in the Monster and Men games, and while it hasn't been running particularly long, but it's been great so far.

Besides, my flock will always need tending.

I'm willing to keep going.

i suck as a PbP GM, but I wouldn't mind playing in whatever you do. those games look and sound really interesting

Would it take a more paranormal turn as your other games? I wouldn't mind it, to be honest. I ask because I wonder which character I should make.

Sure thing. Would you be willing to dump whatever ideas you had going into this in a PM or an email or something? Don't worry if it is organized or anything. Even just a few sentences about the things we were looking into so I can have a little continuity would be great.
