Thinking Skids, though we have a lot of stamina whores if I do that.

On the other hand, Bob Murphy really fails to impress me, at a glance.

Comments? I'm likely to fail my PS very very fast, but it's not too debilitating IIRC, so.

Alright, yeah. Mandy it is.

Yoshi: Trainwreck.

Tai: Skids seems pretty cool. Each 1 you roll counts as an extra die and isn't really a 1 unless you roll another one. That's, uhh, yeah. I'd say that's better than the guy who can't get 3 monster trophies without being cursed.

Yeah. That was my general impression. Murfs is decent and has a crush on a tra- I mean Murphy is okay but Skids just seems better.

Welp, now that's done I guess that's my cue to stick my head in here and say I'm interested in joining the next game. Not sure about the IRC channel you use for dice rolls and all, but I think I've just about got the proper Arkham rules down.

There's that MYSTERY GAME Alex was talking about in December. That still sounds cool.

Yeah, I'll go ahead and start setting that up.  Expect a formal signups/preview topic over the weekend.  I'll be looking for a few more players than normal, exact number will depend on interest but 8-12 range is possible.  At the same time though I'll also be looking for people who I know aren't likely to drop out.  There will also be a couple of non-player co-mod spots available, if anyone's interested in helping with either the large amount of writing that will be involved, or keeping tabs on player sheets and rules.

All signups will be done via PMs, feel free to start sending them in now if you want to join without even knowing what the game's about!

I'd like to give AH a shot at some point. If this new game coming up is too tricky I'll sit out, but I've never played before.

Yes... sometime.  Probably.  Believe it or not I am still working on it.  Wouldn't blame folks for getting tired and moving on though.  Sorry.

You think you're close to ready to go or should I throw up a basic game in the meantime?

Whee thread necromancy~

Anyway, it's been about three months now since there was any activity in the current game, so I'm thinking about putting together a new Arkham game.  Are people still interested?

Always interested, but since I was in the most recent game other people probably take priority.

After talking with Yakko, I'll be running my game. It'll be Arkham Investigators vs. Custom GOO from last time. Balance testing, yay!

Gonna be using Base, Dunwich and Expansion (Henceforth titled Strangers From Another World). Will be giving everyone the normal two choices of investigator before we start as well.

Current list
1. Random
2. Cid
3. Yakko (?)
4. Tal
5. Bard
6. Captain K

And no, I will not be writing scenes for it this time.
