I'm game.

Strago · « **Reply #126 on:** January 06, 2010, 06:29:52 AM »

I would like to be placed in the potential player pool for pretty much any and all games.

Innsmouth was fun, and I'd also love to play The King in Yellow.

Taishyr · « **Reply #127 on:** January 06, 2010, 01:40:50 PM »

I... uh, hm. Eh, I'll gun for Alex's game and root on people in Soppy's, since I think Soppy/Yakumo are running concurrently unless I misunderstand.

In.

Yakumo · « **Reply #128 on:** January 06, 2010, 02:01:25 PM »

As I understand it, Alex's isn't ready to go yet and Soppy would be recruiting people if he wasn't having technical difficulties reaching the boards.

Taishyr · « **Reply #129 on:** January 06, 2010, 02:18:13 PM »

Ah. Well, this still works.

Sign me up for whatever.

AndrewRogue · « **Reply #131 on:** January 06, 2010, 07:59:01 PM »

Not currently up for playing, but more than happy to co-mod/assist mod in any games that need help. Or teach new players. Or something.

I don't even care which game. Surprise me, guys.

I'd like to play in either Sopko or Yakko's game, ideally.

Carthrat · « **Reply #135 on:** January 07, 2010, 07:50:37 AM »

Can I be in for whichever game starts next? >_>

Taishyr · « **Reply #136 on:** January 07, 2010, 12:35:04 PM »

Noting usual willingness to wait until next game myself if desirable.

Yakumo · « **Reply #137 on:** January 08, 2010, 08:24:50 PM »

I'm going to take Mage, Tai, Random, Tal, Yoshi, and Rat for my game. Character choices will be up shortly. For expansions, I guess we'll just use Innsmouth again, with the Curse of the Dark Pharaoh for a little change of pace, unless people really want to see something else.

Yakumo · « **Reply #138 on:** January 08, 2010, 08:50:45 PM »

Character choices will be as follows:

Magetastic - Amanda Sharpe or Mandy Thompson

Taitoro - Bob Jenkins or "Skids" O'Toole

Random Consonant - Trish Scarborough or Ashcan Pete

Talaysen - Zoey Samaras or Monterey Jack

Yoshiken - Sister Mary or Rex Murphy

Carthrat - Joe Diamond or Tony Morgan

The IRC room for this game remains #rpgdlarkhamhorror so feel free to jump in there.

Yoshiken · « **Reply #139 on:** January 08, 2010, 09:10:27 PM »

Hmm... Mary seems like she's by far the better option, with a much better PS and the auto-Blessing. However, I'm tempted to go with Rex on the basis of "Ooh, spells!"
For now, very much leaning towards Mary, but will await input from the others.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #140 on:** January 08, 2010, 09:20:37 PM »

Rex Murphy is MANLY and GLORIOUS.

Random Consonant · « **Reply #141 on:** January 08, 2010, 09:27:04 PM »

*gnaws on Snow, you just want trainwreck*

Anyhow, Trish Scarborough sounds different and fun and exciting and all that good stuff, so I think I'll go with that unless people convince me that I should go the other way.

Yakumo · « **Reply #142 on:** January 08, 2010, 10:29:47 PM »

I would honestly call Rex straight up better than Mary, but then again I would call pretty much anyone straight up better than Mary. All Mary has is the Blessing. No money, no clues, no items worth noting really, maybe she'll get lucky with the two spells but her lore's not that great to cast them. In fact, her stats in general are mediocre to bad. 6 LUCK!

Rex gets a better chance of good items, has stats that are actually useful, and if you can pass that PS at all quickly(for example, draw a King in Yellow in starting gear), then he's freaking awesome.

Carthrat · « **Reply #143 on:** January 08, 2010, 10:49:18 PM »

I'll go for TONY MORGAN.

Talaysen · « **Reply #144 on:** January 09, 2010, 03:40:55 AM »

Think I'm going to go with Zoey Samaras, unless people can convince me otherwise.

Magetastic · « **Reply #145 on:** January 09, 2010, 07:38:00 AM »

Ok, so. I'm most likely gonna end up setting up some sort of disaster, as both my PS's look likely to be failed, and both result in bad things for everyone. Leaning towards the one that can actually do something beyond being purely average. (Mandy) If anyone feels like keeping the gate limit up, or has some other concern, say so now.

Shale · « **Reply #146 on:** January 09, 2010, 07:59:54 AM »

Amanda's isn't that hard. Certainly a shitton easier than Mandy's.

Nitori · « **Reply #147 on:** January 09, 2010, 10:16:11 AM »

On the other hand, Amanda.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #148 on:** January 09, 2010, 10:36:48 AM »

Not to mention Terror Level isn't too hard to keep track of and keep down. Terror Level 5 tends to not really happen much unless the game is already trainwrecking its way into Atlach-Nacha's flesh-searing stomach - in which case, having one less gate as a limit isn't going to make much of a difference either way. I'd probably pick Mandy over Amanda just because Amanda is impressively underwhelming besides having an annoying PS.

Yoshiken · « **Reply #149 on:** January 09, 2010, 01:54:53 PM »

That. Also, that's a damn nice unique ability.
So, am I going with Blessed Nun or The Guy with the Beard? Beard has a decent set of items and extra Clues, but also a Curse. Nun has insta-Blessing and some decent-ish Magickal items, but no clues/money and some pretty bad stats.
Leaning towards Beard now, if only for trainwreck value. ^^'
