Mr. Prokosch I've activated JJ's Bonefeel and tossed him into Doctor's infirmary. Have fun with that

Bear Enthusiast The exact timing of when JJ arrives is up to you. If you want him there now, go ahead and write him in, otherwise he can show up after your next post.

Good to know, as having him be there right then was pretty good by me! (I posted before reading this).

A little something for Doctor, to help judge the odds:

When you poke around in someone’s guts roll+stock used (up to 3-stock). On a 10+, choose 3. On a 7-9, choose 2:
*you inflict no harm
*you find what you came for
*you don’t need to use an additional 1-stock to stabilize them
*you fix something else while you’re in there. Take 1-forward with the patient


On a miss, the poor bastard is probably going to die

Coolness. Although I do enjoy the mental image of all of the doorframes in the building having a notch in the center, so Doctor's 16-inch mohawk can fit...

The reason why escapes me but the best part of one of my high school classes was the teacher (who was my dad) showing that scene to the whole class.

I remember a big part of him showing it was telling us that the guy playing the doctor was an actual double arm amputee with fake arms, so when his arms get bitten off it looks super real.

Maybe he just showed it for kicks?

Sorry for the short updates the last few days, things have been hectic but I didn't want the game stalling out. Should be calmer for a while, so I should have more time for post-crafting.

Oh, and a heads-up. Once the Smith-Ronan and Raven-Emdey-Luka situations get resolved I will most likely call an end to the 'first session'

I hit an improvement. I'm going to grab another gig and change up the crew, namely by recruiting a few more heads. Specifically, Twirl and the Wellmark Twins, who I'm working with PoultryGeist to flesh out a little.

A little "secret" with Raven is that I adapted her from a prior AW game that died early on. I liked the character a lot but didn't get to do a lot with her, so I wanted to give it another go. That being said, I had some stuff written up from before. I've updated it. So I hope you enjoy some of

I don't know if it's kosher, but maybe Luka and his wolves could be part of your crew as a sort of formalized partnership thing?
Or is that not how things should work?

If Luka wants to join I'm game! The book indicates other PCs can be crew members. At the very least you'll be one of my contacts.

There's not really any specific mechanical benefit, but definitely makes sense to me.

I always thought it was weird that the angel kit can't really help much if you're only at 3:00 or 6:00, but thems the breaks! I also forgot like halfway into my post and didn't want to lose that hot hot written content, so Doctor thought he a lot worse off than before due to him being a goddamn wolf-man.

Yeah, unless I did it wrong I only got the one harm. I'll pay you a barter when I wake up. And I'll have to figure a way to clear that harm asap. But, at least now I know what move I'm taking next. :v:

Also haha at the mental image of emdey patching up an 8ft, 400lb monster. Like a kid climbing on a grownup.

Doctor's first aid is enough to get Luka awake, and the healing process started.

And there's still time for looking at things/chatting, I just didn't want the session end to come out of the blue.

Yeah, one of the great things about PbP is it handles asynchronous events really well.

Heck, Poultrygeist could call session end for Raven-Emdey-Luka and work with us on inter-session stuff while still RPing JJ and Mr Smith's parts to a good conclusion if it came to that.
