Here is the discussion area, sound off with your characters and say hi. I'd like if some of you had connections, though how closely is up to you.
I'm here if you'll have me. I get together the Roderick tomorrow, I may need a bit of help as I have mainly played & run 5th Edition or 2nd Edition.
There's not much difference, don't worry too much.
Here is the lovely, talented, and...Wealthy...Isabella Fitzsimmons.

Roderick was born to a first-rate family, in the home-counties of England. Everyone said so, that the Farshaws’ were top-notch people. However the truth from his perspective was altogether different, although he went to the best boarding schools with a great education. He often fund himself despondent. His elderly parents didn’t really notice him ‘children should be seen and not heard’ was their motto. Thus he quickly grew up to be a self-sufficient, if lonely young man.
Upon acceptance to Oxford, the Great War broke out and alongside many of his chums he joined the Royal Air Corps. It was not long before he was shot down for the first time, he was luckier than the others – he survived. Try and try again, he took to the skies on frequent occasions, his record was mediocre but he managed to survive the dangers of the Great War Aces.
Although the last time he almost didn't make it, in the blue skies about the fields of France; his mission to photograph enemy trenches. But out of the sun came a dark shape, bullets raking his Sopworth camel. Into a death-spiral Roderick slowly fell. Upon hitting the field his leg contorted the wrong way and fuel spilt all around.
Rod tried to drag himself away before the fuel ignited, but was unsuccessful. When he woke up, his left side was quite scarred, with the burnt skin encroaching upon his neck. The scars have healed over the years but Roderick still likes to wear gloves, and he walks with a pronounced limp.
Eventually he was transferred to the near East and spent significant time there. Mainly administrative and diplomatic work, although he did take part in a couple of actions.
After the war ended Roderick continued his studies, becoming a respected researcher and antiquarian, running a small import shop; despite his families objections to actually working. Though for him it was more of a hobby buying things from his chums and taking jaunts overseas.
He’s really enjoying the resurrection in the social scene in London, having a lot of fun with the Debs.
Well I sent a second invite to those who had characters made. Hoping they're just out on the weekend slump. If not I suppose I might have to hold a recruitment again. Guess that's what I get for getting kinda screwed on timing lol.
Hey there, I've made a profile for Seymour and am checking in. Looking forward to getting started!
Thanks Flykiller. Really considering starting another recruitment. Guess I'll wait another day or two.
All right, what do you think?

So where we starting off New York? Roderick could be over there picking up antiques and selling then to the natives.
Ok screw it, I'm starting this. Still got two slots if we manage to get anyone else interested.
So I'm not sure how I missed this but Scranford never gave me a backstory or Quirks for Isabella, meaning that I'll be keeping her out of the opening post. I'll need those as soon as possible, now with some form of link with the others that will let you get into the game without knowing Jackson Elias yourself. That's on you.
Sorry, not sure if I gave quirks with Roderick:
Rod, as he prefers to be called, is in NY to sell some of his Middle-Eastern antiques to the dilettante's whilst seeing if his accent will work.
Couldn't seem to fit Roderick in there right now, but I'm sure someone will know Roderick somehow.
Well I was thinking that maybe Roderick has travelled across the Atlantic upon a liner to meet with some colleagues and other dealers. He has brought trunks with Persian rugs, a few Arabic pieces, some traditional crockery and furniture from Britain.
Maybe some famous Movie actor needs some props for his next film. Or of course Rod loves to take in a bit of culture and partake in some circulating to make new friends and contacts.
Alias here.

Still working up.
Question
Not planning on firearm use, relying heavily on sword/unarmed combat modes, Wanted to spend the skill points in the martial art and use the same points for both unarmed and sword use, since the stance/footwork etc are based on the sword.
Am I out of line on that or will I just have low scores?
Posted in recruitment thread.
Because of the way the Martial Arts skill works you will have to use those points in all of the skills you intend to increase. Sorry buddy.
I think my character is good to go as well.
D'oh, did n't read the spoilers or the IC thread closely thus wasn't sure whether to introduce myself....whoops.
Same here, old chap. That's a bally good idea.
"That's a dashed fine piece, I think we could do some deals together." Roderick is not one to turn down a profit, he travels to Chinatown whilst in NY to get some 'genuine' Chinese antiques to sell back home. He encounters the man half a decade his junior, hoping that together they could make some money and a friendship.
Absent-mindedly brushing a lock of hair over one eye; "Well a nicely veneered bureau, like one that the herbalists use with lots of compartments. I am sure that some eccentric Lord would love one."
He ponders slightly more; "A nice bit of Jade would be magnificent, however I am not going to break the bank. Even if it's a lovely specimen." he pauses; "Why do you know, anything suitable? I was going downtown to meet some friends but..." There's a twinkle in his eye, knowing that they can both make a profit whilst helping those with less fortunate tastes improve their life.
"That's a dashed clever idea, I suppose it will also be a challenge like 'The Crossword'" He says referring to the Times crossword as if non-other existed.
"I believe we could even make these a fad amongst the Deb's and Society. Say that cane you carry, I haven't seen one like it?" Rod queries lightly.
Feel free to take that stuff to the gameplay thread. Also are Seymour and Jake still here?
Now I must ask if Isabella is still here, since this game is about to kick off severely and I'd like to know my cast of characters (And if I must pick up any more)
Isabella is still here. Waiting for the game to kick off.
I almost gave up on this game and here it is alive and kicking! Nice!
Don't think for a moment that I've never used this system before, but am I rolling high or low?
You're attempting to roll low. It seems you rolled quite high, which is a bad thing lol.
No, no; I rolled low. Caine rolled high.
Does this mean Cain sails through the open window, like Bruce Lee in that one movie with James Garner?
I'll be away for the next day, going down to London for the Olympic Athletics.
Should be back by this time tomorrow.
GM, you might also want to put the clues found in the murder room on the Campaign Info tab as well, for easy reference.

Good Idea Jake. I'll do that.
A note of warning, I am going to be away at a music festival from Thursday afternoon to Monday afternoon.
Feel free to NPC me as necessary.
And since I got a high income roll, here's something Seymour would have as his car: Duesenberg Model A, having shelled out $6500 for it in 1922.
While we're at it, on the subject of racism. I don't live in USA, but I've read that racism was still a thing there in 1920s and not frowned upon, so I intend to occasionally make in-character racist remarks. Please note that they don't reflect my personal views and I'll abstain from them at the first indication that someone finds them inappropriate or offensive out-of-character.
Apologies for my abscence, I've been having pains in my side for a few weeks now and upon visiting a doctor discovered I had appendicitis. I was in the hospital for a bit and then went into surgery. Now that I'm back home I'll be posting again. Just making sure you know what's up, post up soon.
Wow, hope you feel better soon. Thanks for letting us know.
Wishing you a quick recovery
No problem at all Ryuko, and I hope you recover swiftly!
I'm sorry but hospitalization for emergency surgery is a lame excuse.
Where are your priorities?....JK Hope your recovery is quick as well.
Wishing you good health and recover soon!
Checking for activity...
These Ryuko's players waited for two months before starting to look for a new DM... but I'd wager that finding a DM for a Paizo AP on Paizo's own boards is much easier than for a Cthulhu game...
