Hmmm
It is quite the pickle as that is a good idea for torture no matter how obviously you've ripped it off. Still, I've an idea of how to resolve this if the roll goes badly.

The Alcotroll · #**1102** 16th of April, 2005, 10:51

Yup. I make no pretences as to the originality of my sources.

And since when have the dice affected your decisions anyway?

SuperJosh · #**1103** 18th of April, 2005, 08:20

Sorry, I took a day off work 2 weeks ago and am still trying to catch up. Beyond that RL has been a bear lately and the wife woking night (hence leaving me with the baby)... well, sucks. I am back, and will make this part of my daily ritual. Get home, check email, check Dagern Travels. That should prevent another prolonged absence.

Black Plauge · #**1104** 18th of April, 2005, 09:36

So, Roth seems ready to try interogating the man. Right?

SuperJosh · #**1105** 18th of April, 2005, 16:43

Sure. I will try.

I do not know how scared he is going to be of my whooping 3.5 ranks!

Black Plauge · #**1106** 18th of April, 2005, 16:51

That's more than anybody else in the party.

**BigRedRod** · #**1107** 24th of April, 2005, 08:44

Apologies for that update taking me about 3 billion years, uni has entered the endgame phase of the year where they throw work and exams at us until we crack and turn in to the hulk.

SuperJosh · #**1108** 27th of April, 2005, 11:59

Uhhhhh BRR? It might be the massive amounts of illicit/illegal drugs I am currently under the influence of, but your last post made absolutley no sense to me.

*sobers up*

OK, I reread it, and I must still be hi. "hey kids, wanna get hi?"
"Hehe, Towlie is funny!"

**BigRedRod** · #**1109** 27th of April, 2005, 13:56

I think you mean high. And after a reread it still makes sense to me. If you have specific questions ask away and I'll clarrify

**BigRedRod** · #**1110** 2nd of May, 2005, 13:13

Live damn you! Live!

I'd ask the others to chime in in attempting to extract any useful info from the man seeing as his spirit seems to be broken

Black Plauge · #**1111** 2nd of May, 2005, 13:29

Well, since you asked.

The Alcotroll · #**1112** 2nd of May, 2005, 14:04

Dron is going to sulk.

He might feed the dog though, that can be his good deed for the day. It's better to get those in early than have to worry about them around tea-time when you've lost patience.

**BigRedRod** · #**1113** 2nd of May, 2005, 14:28

It occurs to me that I never really defined time keeping in this game. Apart from having ten day weeks, I can of half heartidly used the FR calender. I'm tempted to shunt us over to something more simplistic and imfortative. Remove months and just use weeks and seasons. I'll ponder on it more and decide (unless any of you have strong feelings against changing a detail which I'm not sure got much mention)

The Alcotroll · #**1114** 3rd of May, 2005, 14:52

What's the odds that we can get away with pretending the be the counter-intelligence agents (I'm guessing at Imperial) that he seems to think we are?

We could make him think that there's some sort of intercine bickering going on and he's been backing the wrong side.
Since he's a lowly foot-soldier, it may be that he doesn't know the plans of anyone higher up the CoC than he is.

Black Plauge · #**1115** 4th of May, 2005, 05:57

I don't know, though I was thinking something similar. How can we play into his fear, and still extract information? If anything, his terror seems to be the kind that'll make him clam up.

**BigRedRod** · #**1116** 10th of May, 2005, 10:05

Well as Josh seems to have vanished again, it looks like it is up to you two.

I'll get some fresh meat in to the game as soon as I find someone suitable

The Alcotroll · #**1117** 10th of May, 2005, 10:14

So never then.

And I still can't think of a cast iron way to exploit this man's terror without running the risk of fucking up in an embarassing fashion again.

Black Plauge · #**1118** 10th of May, 2005, 10:17

I'm in the same boat and was hoping Josh would think of something, considering Roth is in charge of the interogation.

I'll try and come up with something later.

**BigRedRod** · #**1119** 10th of May, 2005, 10:18

I'm optimistic that I'll find somebody able to post often and with a decent concept. I'd also like it to be someone who isn't already playing in one of my games.

As much as trying is the first step to failing, you have the bonus of "DM slant" on your side with wanting the game to move on.

**BigRedRod** · #**1120** 18th of May, 2005, 04:55

Well as much as I hate to say it I fear this game may be dead.

I have two active players and I'm having real problems finding any fresh meat. I'd rather avoid just posting an ad for players as it tends to result in either nothing or aquiring a few of the ORP members who either can't work with my DMing style or simply can't work with any DMing style.

I need input from you two. Is this game worth fighting for in your eyes? Or should we call it a day? I may well start another game in Dagern, but with clearer goals (i.e. Dragoons are a backdrop), so I could use this as a little intro and pull an itches and pick up the game a little way in to the future with possibly brand new characters. Either way, I'm torn but I don't want to doom the game if you two would prefer we struggled on and after my exams end I'l start hunting down good new players with avengence.

Black Plauge · #**1121** 18th of May, 2005, 09:18

While I hate to see any game die, I have to say that I feel less vested in this game than any other I'm in. I suppose that's because I didn't actually make my character, and thus have less of an attachment to him than I normally would.

Now don't get me wrong. I've enjoyed this game and would certianly love to continue playing, its just that I wouldn't be all broken up if the game were to die.

I completely understand how frustrating it can be to find new players. Often times the people you would want to play are too busy with other games to commit to another and the people who do want to play either lack the commitment or are incompatible with what you want to do.

I guess what I'm saying, is that I'll abide by whatever decision you make BRR. As the DM, your the one with the most invested in this campaign. Its only fair that you make the decision about whether its worth it.

I think that's the problem. I have too characters and neither of you ever really made that attachment on account of being forced to take command of another's creation.

True, but I'd hate to kill the game if someone was really loving it.

Anyhow, just need to see what Craig thinks.

The Alcotroll · #**1123** 19th of May, 2005, 08:50

This game may be a little piece of History, but it's also probably doomed.

I'd go with the DT sequel option.

And I want to know whether my blatant metagaming was on the money too.

ie: Was the bloke really an Imperial lackey and would I have got a decent answer?

**BigRedRod** · #**1124** 19th of May, 2005, 09:14

Well that looks like two votes for taking up the threads of game plot a little way in to the future with another game (I'll lock the IC and this and throw them all in to an archive forum that I'll create in short order. I'm torn on whether to include an epilogue though).

If you two would like spots in the new game with brand new self-made characters then I'm happy to reserve you a pair of spots. I'll get plotting away and hopefully I'll have a game ad up shortly after my exams end.
