King in Yellow definitely sounds good. I haven't played a game with it since DLC3. And woo, Innsmouth investigators!

If you want to give priority to people who haven't played in awhile, I don't mind sitting this one out.

Well, if I do that then I basically end up with the exact same players who finished game one, minus me but plus Tai.  Wanted to mix it up at least a little bit.

Well, looks like that's all we're getting.  And Hatbot says our players and their choices for intrepid investigators are:

Sir Alex - Silas Marsh or Tony Morgan
Shale - Diana Stanley or Rex Murphy
Nitori - "Skids" O'Toole or Agnes Baker
Talaysen - Mark Harrigan or Roland Banks
Taishyr - Min Thi Phan or Trish Scarborough
Hunter Sopko - Carolyn Fern or Gloria Goldberg

IRC room is still #rpgdlarkhamhorror if y'all want to discuss your options there.  Take your time picking, I couldn't start before Tuesday even if I wanted to. :P

We will be using Personal Stories as well so you might want to factor those into your decisions.

Thinking my choice revolves on what other people choose, as both my investigators are solid choices who can fill different support niches, it looks like?

For complete assistance abuse, Minh Thi Phan seems optimal; for covering whatever others can't, Trish. So... I'll wait to see what others take up.

Rex's cursetasticness makes me lean strongly toward Diana.

Sorry, Strago.  Hatbot doesn't love you anymore. ;_;

If we need to pick up a person though for some reason you might have a chance!  If not, there's always next game!

Hatbot never loves anyone. He only hates stealthily.

Think I'm going to go with Roland Banks unless someone can make a convincing argument for Mark Harrigan.

I've never played a spellcaster before, so I'll tentatively be going Agnes Baker~

<Hatbot> ACTION --> "Ko-NitoriisSulpher rolls 1d100 to grade Nitori? and gets 100." [1d100=100]

Mark Harrigan is a fucking badass.  Six fight AND a Flamethrower. >_>  Also may be useful in Innsmouth during Martial Law.  After the Doom Track is half full, there's areas in Innsmouth where, if you end your movement there, you have to pass an evade check or be arrested.  There are five street areas and eight locations, and only three locations are safe from that check.

Roland's good too, but I don't know if you even knew about Martial Law so I figured you should at least know about it before finalizing that decision.

Heh. Sure, I'd be game for that.

With the knowledge of the new rules, I think I'm leaning towards Mark Harrigan now.  Still kinda on the fence, but let's go with that unless I get convinced otherwise before the game starts.

Min Thi Phan, ready to write evil's names in these tomes. Or something.

I'll most likely be pulling starting items and getting everything set up tonight(Tuesday night) so last chance to change your minds.  Or, in Shale's case, to be brainwashed by Snow to pick Rex.  Whatever~
