and Madness Followed (Inactive)

Game Master Dennis Harry

In 1930-31, Miskatonic University funded an Antarctic Expedition which ventured forth into the icy wastes of the southern continent in search of new discoveries. Instead the intrepid adventurers found horror, tragedy, and a great and ancient secret.
Those secrets still lie under the ice of that mysterious continent waiting to be uncovered...

I am here, will update tomorrow, sorry for the delays this past 7-8 days.


Shadow's Status

Hmmm, I did not realize I was the one who made the last update. I would like to keep running this but with no posts in two weeks I wonder if we have lost too much steam?

We are pretty close to the real MEAT of the adventure. Let me know if the group is willing and able to press on.

Thank you.

Sorry, I thought it was Alphonso's cue. I'm certainly still interested.


I wanna keep going. We lost a little steam, this is true, but we have survived that before.


Shadow's Status

Ok great! ;-)


My laptop is messed up and I will try to stay caught up by with phone that is difficult sometimes


Shadow's Status

Sorry for the delays, 2019 is starting as s@+$ty as the last 4 years as it turns out...

I will post an update later for I/C but that last post should take some time to re read and digest :-)

OK, that was a big post, I'll let you all react before we move on and land!

Finally, you are getting to the Campsite, an event 3 1/2 years and a dozen lost PCs later :-)

We are 100 pages into the Module with 150 pages to go, hopefully my life will stabilize one day and we can move at a bit more brisk of a pace.

Up to now the threats have been human, that will soon change...


Shadow's Status

A post is up for spot hidden rolls :-)


Male American Research Assistant

Apologies, I am slammed at work and have house guests. Please bot me as needed this week.


Shadow's Status

Couple of busy days there, will have a post up late tomorrow night to start exploring :-)

I hope I am understanding what we are seeing correctly... And that makes me think I don't want to know if they were using ordinance to fight against something in the dark...


Shadow's Status

I'll not contradict any conclusions you want to make, it will take some equipment to dig things out to determine if your assessment is correct or not.


Shadow's Status

I'll give the other PCs a chance to chime in. If no one does by Saturday, I will move us along, have table top D&D on Friday so I cannot do it that night.


Shadow's Status

I'll give another day and then BOT the Polar Checks and move us on.


Shadow's Status

Updates later tonight or tomorrow.


Shadow's Status

I'll give another day or two to complete this scene then move things along to more formal investigations in the Lake Camp.


Shadow's Status

Just giving this scene a chance to play out more if you all like, if I get no further responses on this by Sunday then we will move on :-)


Shadow's Status

Nicholas Roerich posts - he is the man your group rescued from the German's back in New York.

Post Rescue Interview.

More from Nicholas.

Nicholas' final thoughts.


Shadow's Status

Sent a PM to Stanley :-)


Shadow's Status

Instead of pushing forward, I am gong to move along the lines of some deeper RP here.

Let's try and increase the post rate though so that we can get through it rather quickly :-)


Male American Research Assistant

Sorry, but I feel out of the loop sometimes. I think it's a consequence of arriving late to the game. The links provide a great deal of reading and information, but sometimes I feel a little lost. Avery's personality is pretty clear in my mind, but the extent of his knowledge of referenced events isn't. If there's something in particular you're looking for in these RP posts and Avery isn't giving it, I'd appreciate a nudge in the right direction.

At least until we devolve into brain-numbing hysteria, then I guess all bets are off :).

You're good no worries. I believe Stanley is just busy IRL and I don;t want to have RP just slide by when it presents itself. We move a glacial pace anyway :-)

[Pun intended!]

I get that. This is one of the few games I have not had that issue in at some point. But I was here from the get go. If having more inter party conversations would help Phoebe am happy to chat Avery. Would that help?

Only if Avery decides to accompany Phoebe and Stanley to where Williams is outside of the cafeteria (which he certainly can if he wants to) :-)

It just cannot be easy these days it seems. Updates early tomorrow morning, just too tired to effectively update ATM.


Shadow's Status

Little slow (partially my fault) but great scene. When I have a free minute, I will move us along!


No biggy. Bickering is always fun.


Shadow's Status

OK, big push forward now.

I will vote for the original drill site from the first group


Hillocks, then number nine, then the other numbers and lastly the lake.


Shadow's Status

I finally have a place to live. Next six weeks will have further interruptions due to moving and work.

By the end of July this upheaval should be over. Thanks for your patience!


Shadow's Status

Hey folks, Father's Day today was great but long so feeling a bit beat after a grueling two weeks. I have one more long day at work tomorrow and an airport pick-up and a graduation on Wednesday morning. Wednesday night I should be re-energized and will get things started up that night.


Male American Research Assistant

To all my games: I will be traveling now until July 1. I will have limited access to my computer and phone and will post as I am able, but please bot me as needed. Thanks!


Shadow's Status

Sorry guys, had to take down some stuff in the old house and still packing, going to push off updates until Sunday night. Apologies for the further delay.


Shadow's Status

Updates at the end of the week, just can't catch a f!%$ing break these days...


Male American Research Assistant

All,

I've grown shorter and shorter on time in recent months, and I kept hoping that my schedule would clear up, but it hasn't. It's gotten to the point where I just have to force myself to sit down and write, and that's completely the opposite of what PbP gaming should be. Wrestling with this dilemma, I've come to the conclusion that I need to cut back, and so I must withdraw from this game.

I appreciate the opportunity to have played with you all. It's been a lot of fun! I hope to have more opportunities to play with you again the future.


Sorry to see you go


Shadow's Status

Understood Avery, the large time lapses do not make it easy. Good luck to you!

All, my move will be complete this Sunday, that day or the day after I will start the game back up again, till then, continued pause.


My family and I am having some issues. I am not in a good headspace because of it as I am questioning our relationship. I do not know how reliable I will be posting so please bot me if I am lagging behind.


Shadow's Status

Checking in RL has just been impossible lately. Hope to be back next week.


Shadow's Status

Hi Folks, sorry for the long absence had to figure out a number of things in RL. Due to a significant change in circumstances, I will need to limit my presence on the boards and that includes dropping this game. I apologize for the long delay in making contact to inform you of this decision.

We had a good run but I think with the player attrition and my own life moving in a very different direction it was too much to overcome.

Thanks to you all for hanging in there as long as you did.


Sorry to see you go. This was a really fun game but I understand.

What lurks beyond the understanding of mankind ever waits.

Thanks for the game Shadow and players!
