    I will begin the next chapter on June 14th. In the meantime, you can earn xp by developing your character and having fun.

    So, June 14th OOC will be July 1st IC.

    Sorry, I meant are we roughly playing at the same time the Living One is running about living and all?

    Essentially are we playing in the game world, with characters from the game potentially making cameos?

    Oh, right. Well, this game is set in 1861, and the game begins in 1885, so no. But, there are institutions and personages from the game which may make cameo appearances.

    In that case, I guess Adkin Chambers would not yet be a blind hermit, and I should edit that post...

    Nice touch with wee young Richard Leeks there, Japes.

    Are you still playing, Wolfsbane?

    Do you all want me to move on with the story or wait another few days?

    I'm happy to do either.

    Is the sarcophagus gone along with the conservatory or is it still there?

    I was going to say no, but now I'm saying yes: the sarcophagus is still there.

    Hello everybody. I've had problems with my connection lately, and last week I was in Cyprus, thus rendering me unable to participate and post. I'm back now, so I'll try to catch up with you guys as quickly as possible.

    Welcome back, Wolfsbane.

    John Doe is now level 2. Also, he can start with Expert firearms training.

    Gregory Soapstone is now level 3. Also, he loses 14 hit points and heals 10. A decent night's sleep would heal him.

    Hannah Clayborne is now level 3. Also, she can start with Apprentice melee training.

    Viktor Salazar is now level 3.

    Pug Buckle can start with Expert melee. Another paragraph will be enough for level 3.

    Zalakar the One-Dimensional is a disposable npc, so feel free to treat him as such without fear of offense.

    Well done everyone.

    Okee Dokee, I've had a bad flu this last week, but I'm back on my feet now.

    I'll post again in-game soon.

    PS - Levelling up can be by petition and consensus. I have the impression that some have posted a lot, contributed a lot, and their characters are doing a lot.

    Anyone who feels they deserve more xp, or that there's too much levelling up or not enough, let me know.

    Gregory shouldn't be able to create dwarven gauntlets at his current level of intelligence, Gross.

    Aww, balls. I'll have to edit that post and shit. Well, I have to say something rather important anyway.

    Nicely done, guys. Well spotted, Muro. I knew I could count on you to audit the maths. Nice save, Gross. :)

    Gross, Muro and Japes, you're all close to level 5.

    At level 5, I'd like a new screenshot or character sheet for clarity.

    Also, with all the temporal shifting, there's an excuse for us all to leapfrog up to level 10 or 20 or 120, whatever is most fun for all the players.

    I'm making rulings as acting story-teller, but the purpose of the game is FUN, so just speak up for what you want!

    I'm in Afghanistan and my computer is in Texas. Thus, a new character sheet is out of the question, unless someone else wants to make one for me.

    Once you reach level 5, I'll make one based on the character point you invest up to that time and send you the screenshot.

    Whatever happens, I vote against exceeding the level 50 cap.

    I was going to suggest that you ask to go home, Japes, but Muro's idea is probably better.

    Since I don't have access to an Arcanum-equipped computer, I will not be able to play strictly in accoradance with the combat system. So I'm just going to stick with my usual narrative style and try to keep it in line with the spirit of the system.
    Also, my next post will allocate the two points I have yet to spend.

    I'm feeling rather overwhelmed with everything happening in my life right now. I don't know when I'll be back in the RP, or even when I'll be back to the forum in general.
