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...

Good Downtime ideas both I/C and OOC.

When everyone has checked in I will begin to post what you find. In some instances rolls will need to be made to discover information.


Shadow's Status

I will start to move Gameplay forward tomorrow night for those who have already given me some direction in Downtime.


Is everything they will need being paid for. Supplies, books, food, ect in this time? Or would Phoebe have to work during the two months?


Shadow's Status

Phoebe is covered for costs AND getting paid.

I guess the question though is WHO is paying her...


Shadow's Status

Will give another day for the others to post.


Shadow's Status

Update tonight, sorry for the delay, just too tired to get to it last night!


Shadow's Status

Have to update tomorrow, baby won't go to sleep.


Shadow's Status

When we finalize Christopher and Thomas' last Downtime checks we will fast forward to the summer of '33. I wish I could fast forward to the spring at the moment in RL :-)


Shadow's Status

Work is getting crazy. Will not be able to post again until Saturday or Sunday.


Shadow's Status

OK, I am ready to go. Once Thomas checks in we will move forward!


Shadow's Status

Full thread update for the group tomorrow night!

If any of you wish to share your findings with one another, feel free to do so I/C as you will all be gathering in early September 1933 to meet the entire assembled team.

Thomas A. Greenwood, the Novelist

Not sure if I missed it, but any news about the equipment list? Will we be allowed to buy something or will it be provided by the expedition?

I'm not sure, but since this is not a high fantasy game where we'd need swords and armors and potions, and we generally have quite a lot of money, perhaps each of us could make a list of what we want to bring (being reasonable of course... no grenade launchers for Thomas)...

If this is the case, Thomas would bring his writing stuff (generally notebooks and pencils), winter clothes, a knife and handgun... not sure what else...

No I did not address this yet but it will be addressed soon in game :-)

All the above are obviously reasonable requests!


Shadow's Status

Big update tomorrow night!


Shadow's Status

Summon wall of Text!


Shadow's Status

Will give others a chance to chime in before I push us forward.

As Stanley failed his Credt Rating check he is a bit short to cover firearm and he will need assistance from another PC to afford his firearm, or he can owe a favor to Seamus...


Shadow's Status

Will give Christopher and Thomas another day to chime in just in case they wish to share or ask for any pertinent information from the rest of you.


Male Dwarf Korak

I'm sorry. I'm dropping out. I can't work up the enthusiasm for this character. I like the rest of you, the GM, the setup. But I just don't have the will for this. Sorry Storyteller.

No worries Korak, these things happen. The next game I run I will let you know! :-) In the meantime, will continue to see you as I continue my Wicked Ways elsethread!


Male Dwarf Korak

Indeed. If you could make me inactive hopefully that will hide it for me.

Yep, will do!

Updates Tuesday night, need to get my 3 way PvP star wars game off the ground tomorrow night.


Dices!
3d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 5) = 11
3d6 ⇒ (5, 5, 6) = 16
3d6 ⇒ (1, 4, 2) = 7
3d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 1) = 5
3d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 5) = 10
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (1, 5) + 6 = 12
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (5, 3) + 6 = 14

3d6 ⇒ (2, 1, 6) = 9
3d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 3) = 15
3d6 ⇒ (2, 2, 2) = 6
3d6 ⇒ (3, 3, 5) = 11
3d6 ⇒ (1, 3, 2) = 6
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (6, 1) + 6 = 13
2d6 + 6 ⇒ (3, 1) + 6 = 10

Hmm, seems the dice gods have failed me... Guess I'll go with the first set but 5... Oh boy... :D


I'm thinking perhaps a professor of archaeology. Keen to get a look at the rare finds that were reported but never brought back from the first expedition.

Sounds like a solid concept. You can be from any college or from Miskatonic U.


Whoops somehow I only rolled 5d6 in each set above...

1st set
3d6 ⇒ (3, 2, 5) = 10

2nd set
3d6 ⇒ (6, 6, 2) = 14


Sorry I had a bad few days. I would be interested in the lunch thing to get to know people. But moving along is fine too. Apparently it ate my post. I hate my phone.


Male "Human" Engineer

I'd be fine moving along as well, if that's the consensus. I don't want to make this a choke point or anything. I'd be content to have a sort of "they go to lunch, fade to black" and then I'll have Stanley feel a bit more comfortable around the people who were interested in going from the next day on.


Ii'm fine either way too.

Arnault grew up and studied Archeaology in Berlin. He recently moved to the states and applied for a position at Miskatonic U. He had read all about the reports from the first expedition and was keen to study some of the artefacts. With the new expedition about to leave he hopes to get the chance to recover some of the items that were left behind and a chance to study some artefacts on site.

As did I.

I will move us along to the next day tonight. That will allow our new player to get in as well.


Sounds good.

Full update tomorrow fading a bit here and need to go to bed.


Shadow's Status

I am about to summon some serious walls of text.

Will spoil each part separately.


I'm unable to post today, my apologies. I'll make a post tomorrow.


Shadow's Status

I'll move us along tonight or tomorrow depends on whether I go out with the wife after work tonight.

Thomas A. Greenwood, the Novelist

Today is the beginning of the Carnaval here in Brazil and I'm going to the farm of my girl's family... will try to post when I can, but it will be kind of hard... the Carnaval ends on Tuesday, so Wednesday I should be back again!


Have fun.

Enjoy, the Old Gods have slept for eons, a few more days for you to wake them will trouble them little...


Male Human Catholic Priest, Ex Army Chaplin

I think I posted this earlier, but it seems to have vanished. I'm going to withdraw from this game. The slow posting just keeps me from getting engaged in the story. Good luck to all.

Sorry to see you go Scranford. Good luck in your other campaigns!

Updates tonight to bring the new player into the fold.

The Captain has arrived for those already at the Hotel, feel free to interact with him!


Well hello everyone! Thank you so much for letting me tag along. I've sort of developed an early stage romance with Call of Cthulhu RPG, so this is exciting!


Shadow's Status

Seamus has been gone for almost two weeks, I will give him another week to chime in before I open recruitment again.


Shadow's Status

I will give one more 24 hour period for posting then will move the scene on to the next day at the Hotel in the morning.


Sorry for my absense. I've been having some internet access dramas this past week is making it difficult to post. Ive been told it should be resolved by tomorrow... But then I was told today yesterday :/


Shadow's Status

Will update tonight been having problems with the site due to the bundle...


The bundle was pretty good though. I picked one up, but I haven't tried to download anything yet. ;)

No worries, with the bundle slowing the site down all games have been moving pretty slow this week.

FYI Thomas will be away n vacation and may be posting spotty for the next week.

It seems Seamus has vanished, I will be opening up Recruitment to replace him.


Shadow's Status

We lost Thomas so I have opened up Recruitment again.
