[OCC] (Hunter: the Vigil 2e Playtest) The Lucifuge's Doubting Souls

[White Oak Dragon]

I'm not dead, just extremely busy today. Will probably have to delay the IC thread going up until tomorrow

No worries here. Maybe I'll even get a chance to expand Khalil's backstory.

Are we still doing this? Or does our ST do not have time?

[Second Chances]

I'm hoping to get the game thread up tomorrow. But yes, it would have been awesome if we had another week. Ah well. I'll do my best.

Question: Is anyone okay with losing one of their Touchstones immediately? For story reasons, it can't be Steph.

EDIT: Game thread is live. Feel free to interact with both the Dean and the Crime Scene.

lol I saw the picture and immediately thought "is that the yellow sign?" before scrolling down

Okay, it's my first PbP here - What are the rules? Like I can only write one answer post a day or what? How I mark roll?

[Caladriu]

Check out some of the other PbP threads for an example. Usually what you do is write a paragraph or so just narrating what your PC does, how they respond to any conversations, etc. Same way you would talk in conversation at the game table. If you want to roll something, many people use Orokos: http://orokos.com/roll and link to the result of the roll. Usually the ST posts once, then all the players respond once, then the ST posts again. If it's a conversation between two PCs or something, you might post more often.

You can roll at https://orokos.com and then link to the results so we can all see them. I'd suggest using HtVPT as the campaign. You can absolutely post more than once a day, if we kept to that limit we will get squat done by the time Monica wants feedback. Courtesy would be to edit your post if you want to add something and no one else has posted yet. Just include something like

--- EDIT ---

before the edited piece so that I know you've added something and make sure I read it. Also... putting speech in blue I find makes things easier for me to read (I should change that in my first post). And if we can keep bolding to minimum that would be helpful (for me at least, speaking from experience). I won't be too picky about formatting though.

If we hit any combat, I may do something funky to keep things from slowing to a crawl, but I will deal with that when it is needed.

Is this an Investigation proper? Can we roll to collect Clues?

Ah, right! The module suggests not using the clue subsystem, and I'm not sure how it will interact with PbP speed, so I'm going to use it. Anytime you would get clues, I'll give you the Informed Condition instead (cause hot code). If there is a particular roll you want to use, roll it and if it succeeds and is applicable, you'll find something useful.

I'm out for the night, so any questions will have to wait until morning past this.

Okay, one last thing (which is really a clarification). If you are okay with losing a touchstone straight away, can you please say yes. If you are not okay with it, can you please say no so that I know you've seen the question, thought about it, and aren't down with it. That way I don't end up waiting around for responses.

And now... sleep.

[wyrdhamster]

Yes, you can kill my priest Touchstone.

just woke up- I'll go through the PbP right away!

And I prefer you won't kill me Touchstone. My character is mentally unstable as is :P

So I've decided to embrace Cassidy's role as sketch artists and use it as a theme for her supernatural powers- the Mind of a Madman, Omen Sensitivity and Infernal Visions would be expressed through her making sketches and gaining information from the drawing (MoM would be a picture from the murderer's point of view, for example, Infernal Visions would be themed with hellish and demonic beings and Omen Sensitivity would be abstract forms that only she can understand), while her Unseen Senses express themselves as some sort of "inspiration to draw" and Telekinesis as "sketching the world". It may end up being cool, I think.

[Second Chances]

So, yeah, beats probably end up playing a role in this chronicle, but it would be cool if someone does get to pick up something. That said, dramatic failures can be very interesting...
