Violet's Map!

Wow Robert you are outta control! That's amazing.

So I asked Violet about gear and she responded with this:

Buying gear is fun for some players and not for others. But I can see you are like me and enjoy that part of the game! So do this: you can either just imagine gear reasonable for the time period and character, OR go ahead and buy gear by using the rule that your character starts with 5x her credit rating in $USD$. Then use this link to pick some gear!

Beware that spending ALL your money on guns leaves you nothing left for room and board, haha! I'll check characters to make sure they seem realistic so everyone can feel like they are in the REAL 1890s dealing with REAL horrors!

Violet asked me to post it here for all of you, so here you go!

My soldier would probably only carry around a .45, while my backup would carry an elephant gun plus some other guns like that. I have my investigators nearly done, so I might send them over to Violet. Very excited for this game!


This is he icon for RH's Scottish Officer, I couldn't find any image with 'mutton chops' I will probably finish all the crunchy bits Wednesday night.

Neat link, TIG6, Thanks, I will compare the prices of a proper gentleman's wardrobe and Scottish military weapons of the day, like the Webley revolver and a traditional Scottish backsword to the list, and figure out the rest of his possessions.


Violet's Map!

Angus is an awesome little cartoon sandwich, I love him! You should reveal him in all his glory on the recruitment thread!!


I started there then moved him here, still want muttonchops.


I like Eloise Cartwright page layout, I may just copy It!


Violet's Map!

Yeah, and she's a super fun player too.


hey Violet, Angus has an "art" class required for DILETTANTE what are the odds of you letting me take "fencing" as an art form? Cause you know all good Scottish noblemen are taught to fence...


Violet's Map!

It is true. I have seen Rob Roy and they did not paint or do pottery. They fenced.


I guess he could play the bagpipes


Bagpipes would be suitably annoying, sure. :)


Oh! I almost didn't notice the luck and "trait" roll! I'll roll now and check my book when I get home. Unless someone gets a chance to post before I do:

Trait
1d6 ⇒ 5
1d20 ⇒ 13

Luck:
3d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 6) = 18


Female Human Bard (Archivist) / 5 || Initiative: +2 \ HP: 11/31 \ AC: 16, FF14, T12 \ Saving: F: 1. R: 4, W: 6 \ Perc: +8

Traits
1d20 ⇒ 3
1d6 ⇒ 2

luck: 3d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 1) = 4


Female Human Bard (Archivist) / 5 || Initiative: +2 \ HP: 11/31 \ AC: 16, FF14, T12 \ Saving: F: 1. R: 4, W: 6 \ Perc: +8

Wow, those were some seriously low numbers all around.

Also, I like bagpipes.


hhhmmmm. fencing or bagpipes, if she will let me I will stick with the fencing, it matches the character more,

luck: 3d6 ⇒ (1, 1, 6) = 8

I will try and post something before 8:00 PST, but will be arriving at work @ 8:00 PST so may not post till closer to 9:00 PST,

Hey James, as a Scottish Gentleman, Angus may ask you to watch you language around the women...just sayin' ;)


Violet's Map!

Nice opening posts! 1hr 22 min till the INSANITY BEGINS!

Okay, apparently that Trait is Scarred: Luck: Succeed and the scarring doesn't mar the investigator's looks, and may even be dashing; fail Luck and lose 1D3 APP and suffer -(1D3)x5% from Communication skills.

So, here goes:
Luck 90%: 1d100 ⇒ 26

Apparently, Tom has a rather dashing scar. How about just having a bunch of scars? Like a couple of bullet wounds and a dozen or so scars from knife fights.

Yea, and mabe some shark bites!

Angus just explore London wherever you want to start with! I'll RP with you till everyone's checked in on Gameplay and had time to feel their characters out...Where will you go? There's a good brothel on Fleet Street but it's in the east end. I hear there's an excellent barber shop there too if you need a shave mwahahaha!


that's just wrong, anywy Angus has a barber back home. He came to town a couple of days before his medical exam to find A safe route to the hospital, so he would spend time doing that. But I didn’t know if you wanted to start the first night in the hotel or out on the street or what.

Paizo,com is being squirrely so this took longer to send than I intended.

Oh dear! This one says Dark Ancestry (detrimental): Descended from a bad family, foreigners, cannibals or unearthly creatures.Roll D100 and the higher the roll the worse. Not kidding that's what it says!


Violet's Map!

Hey guys, watch this...


Violet's Map!

smurf


Violet's Map!

Hahahah!


that's just wrong... of course we are in a game where we may run into creatures that will affect our sanity...


Violet's Map!

You try it! Type "smurf" anywhere in your next post.

"smurf"

Hmm, middle of the road there. So not too bad?

Dark Archive

Does the smurf thing still work? :o

WOO TRUMPETTTTTT


Eloise

Sorry, I'm here. For some reason wasn't checking this thread as much as I should be.


Violet's Map!

No worries at all! We are just getting in to character and something terrible is about to happen to Tom Wiggs, while we wait for 1 more player. Glad you made it!


Eloise

About to have dinner and take my daughter to brownies, then I'll have a proper read through and get up to speed.


Violet's Map!

Eloise! You're Pacific Standard minus seven. Are you in Australia? What's the best daily time for me to post? Cause I'z in OREGON:D


Eloise

Huh? I'm in the UK, though I've been using a VPN for various things so I might have left it turned on...

That's just all sorts of wrong...

Hehe, yup! This is a HORROR game after all!


Violet's Map!

Okay now that we all have our costumes on, I'll get main story started this afternoon...


actually I like this coat better!


Violet's Map!

Whoa! That's hot. Put it on, I'd love to see you in it...


So do all the "steam punk girls" in this world look like this?

edit: I was going to edit the earlier post but you commented already so I had to post this succubus separate, hope she is good enough to add to the collection!


Violet's Map!

Oh my gosh, what IS that thing?? sanity 5/3d6: 1d100 ⇒ 53


Violet Clocksworth wrote:

LOL, so less is good right?


Eloise

To say there's so much steamwork art/cosplay out on the internet it's hard to find the the right picture when you have an image in your head.

Try This? with a less feathery hat/fascinator. More like this
Brass things hanging from hooks/straps on the corset, like pocketwatch, some sort of electro-cog-powered torch, spare pair of goggles, a windup toy that looks like one of the mini-clanks from Girl Genius.

And a parasol/umbrella rifle, like the one here

Meant to post some reference pics yesterday, but a simple search wasn't getting me what I wanted and I got frustrated.

If it's a problem editing potentially useful items to my dream-self then just ignore those bits.


Female Human Bard (Archivist) / 5 || Initiative: +2 \ HP: 11/31 \ AC: 16, FF14, T12 \ Saving: F: 1. R: 4, W: 6 \ Perc: +8

Here is another pic of what women may look like.

I can't find one yet that looks exactly how I want to look. But I will keep up the search.


Violet's Map!

Rolling lower than your skill is a REGULAR SUCCESS.
Rolling lower than 1/2 your skill is a HARD SUCCESS.
Rolling lower than 1/5 your skill is an EXTREME SUCCESS.

This "level of success" is Cthulhu's way of handling Difficulty Class, and also important in combat.

So if you have 75% in "wheelchair long jumping" and you need an EXTREME SUCCESS to jump your wheel chair over the alligator aquarium, then you must roll lower than 15 on percentile dice. Other wise your wheel chair falls in the aquarium and you get eaten by alligators.

I think I've digressed:(
