Current The Wolfman (starring Lon Chaney Jr.), Silver Bullet, The Howling, and Dog Soldiers are all good werewolf movies, what are you on about?

@IAmTheIsland no, but you do get to brag that you pay good money for the privilege of- (checks notes) "entering a grocery store"...

@wheels depending on the context you can often get away with leaving the title for last. If you insist on a title while writing, a "working title" is a placeholder until you think of something better

Bio

Bios are stupid; oh, sure, everyone can see them, but I bet nobody reads them.

Rude hand gestures and shpadoinkle, there.

No, I wasn't drunk when I wrote this, but I was very tired.

Regrettable, but c'est la vie--I am definitely still interested.

ETA: I know I haven't posted in the character section yet, I'm doing a quick appearance and history writeup to go along with the character sheet, should have all of that done by this evening. I can post it here first if you like but there should be nothing in there we haven't already discussed.


Mmm... You'll be fine.

ETA means Estimated Time of Arrival, so I'm not sure why you're using it in this context?
@ctrlsaltdel Ok, well, it's been 3 days with no response from student, so if you're still interested, I'll have the opening posted before 2pm PST on the 22nd.

If you're in the US, I'll understand if you can't post until Tuesday, on account of the holiday weekend. If you can post before then, awesome!
@RickyG85 Is there a way you can make your post longer?


Yes
Here's the finished character sheet after adjustments, made him slightly more charisma focused, less of a researcher and more of an influencer-type.

@RickyG85 - Random name generator gave me Allyn, so for the channel name let's go with "All-In Investigations". Having an in-the-action intro is probably the better option imo.

ETA the link: drive.google.com/file/d/1yMjiC23UMaFD…


ooh, "Allyn Pilgrim", I like that! Sheet looks good, go ahead and post it to the character tab.
Rick raised (a) hand, "-and can we negotiate a shower? Change of clothe(s), at least?"

He didn't (k)now what was going on, even after the so called "angels" explained it. He didn't understand how the one with the pink hair could be excited about all of this. In fact, the more he saw from the others, the more sure he was that this wasn't real, and it would be a waste of time to fight it.

He would just go along, and hopefully get through this dream all the faster for it. Besides, going back immediately probably meant to the dumpster again, and he did not want that.

"In any case, uh, sure, count me in."
@ctrlsaltdel You're initial concept was of a youtuber? what's the channel name?

@student of life haven't heard from you in awhile, how's it going?

I have a short intro started, and I've decided I'm going to postpone posting until the characters are finished. Are y'all comfortable with me putting you in a "you all start in the tavern" sort of intro, or would you rather improv your way through from step one?
Alright, I'm going to get the opening for Part 1 (treating this like a miniseries) out this Sunday the 18th. It's not a deadline, but, I would prefer character sheets and backstories (the latter is optional in light of waiting til now to ask for one) be turned in and approved at least by Monday the 19th, and certainly before one start posting.

Don't forget to reach out and ask for help if you need it, especially from me, and have a great weekend! I'm looking forward to getting started with this group ^_^

I think it would be interesting for them to be acquainted, but not necessarily friends--I'm thinking that my guy is probably somewhat known about town as an annoying gadfly, so maybe he's cornered programmer guy coming out of the supermarket or something to try and get him to buy into whatever theory he's got about what's going on around the island?


Definitely @ student and maybe start up a conversation in pm or something so you can negotiate and coordinate
Can we have another character now that there's only the two of us?


That's gonna be a negative- this is tabletop, even if we aren't playing in person. It's the age old tradition to limit players to a single character, and that is for reasonable, practical reasons. In the moment, it's easier and faster to consider the responses and actions of a single character, and if something comes up that forces a player to sit out a session or leave an adventure entirely, it's much easier to continue if the loss doesn't constitute half the party (or a similarly troubling fraction).

Leave the character juggling to the Marshal/DM :P
@student of life@ctrlsaltdel

It's just you two, than. I'm going to get started working up the opening post, in the meantime-

Do your characters already know each other, and if so, how?
