I'll have to ask Yakko if he still wants to play or not, but here are everyone's character choices

Hatbotted for maximum pain

Random: Gloria Goldberg or Joe Diamond
Cid: Amanda Sharpe or Dexter Drake
Yakko: Vincent Lee or Marie Lambeau
Tal: Kate Winthrop or Diana Stanley
Bard: Sister Mary or Leo Anderson
Captain K: Harvey Walters or Michael McGlen

Cid gets Amanda as an option again?  Man.

Anyways probably gonna go with Joe Diamond in the interest of getting a relatively fresh face in.

Kinda thinking of Sister Mary, for magic support, unless people think Leo's particularly good.

Sister Mary is terrible.  Take Leo, his ability is freaking awesome.

I will play, but I'm not sure which character I want yet.

Oh, and don't forget, #rpgdlarkhamhorror still exists on IRC.

I think I will choose Kate Winthrop.  For SCIENCE.

Unless argued otherwise I suppose.

Oh yes, based on the last game, I'm instituting a rule for this game.

If you haven't submitted your move within 48 hours of the turn going up, your turn will be taken for you. This will prevent slowdown from the player side at least.

Quoting Yak for truth and emphasis.

Taking Dexter because he's not Amanda. Also style points.

Heh, I have a choice between Strong Mind or Strong Body.  Michael's probably the more useful of the two, but Harvey is an Ugly Old Man.  But I could speak in an annoying gangster voice as Michael...

Eh, who am I kidding, Ugly Old Man it is.

I will be Harvey Walters.

If you're going to play Harvey, I suggest making your personal story a priority.  Otherwise, unless Soppy changed the attack, Nultros can one-shot him, and since the idea is that you fight Nultros repeatedly... yeah, not a good place to be.

I'm thinking I'm going to take Vincent unless anyone has any arguments for Marie.

Fine, I'll pick Leo. I just don't like the thought of getting devoured for ditching an ally.

Hmm, looks like the team needs a bruiser rather than a spellcaster.  I'll be Michael instead.

Here we go again.  It's been almost two months since DLCon and Soppy still hasn't updated, so I'm going to go ahead and call that dead and start signups for a new Arkham game.  I haven't decided on the expansions to use yet so if anyone wants to see something specific go ahead and make suggestions.

Guess nobody's interested in Arkham right now.  Alright, I'll scrap this for a while, maybe there will be more interest another time.

Tripleposting whee~

If people are interested, I'm thinking about starting up a new Arkham game a couple days after Christmas, though we could get the character picking out of the way before that.  Let me know if you're interested and if you have any preferences on expansions and stuff.  Default would be base+Innsmouth but I'm willing to swap around if you guys would prefer something else.

Do you guys want to try rolling with just four or hold out for more people?  Also, if we go with four, should I swap out Innsmouth for a card expansion instead?

Doesn't look like we're getting any more people so we'll roll with four.  After discussion with Tal and Random, I've decided to swap out the Innsmouth expansion for a card expansion, Lurker at the Threshold.  I suggest you guys take a look at the rules for that one in advance, and also at the Lurker herald which will be in play.

Your character choices for the game are as follows:

Andy: Mandy Thompson or Jacqueline Fine

Random: Roland Banks or William Yorick

Tal: "Skids" O'Toole or Norman Withers

Nitori: Agnes Baker or Trish Scarborough

Think I'll go with Skids unless people want to try and convince me to take Norman.
