I'll take the first 5 people with PMs (so we can do secret auctions) who want to play. No experience necessary!

Olive!

It's not a ghost, but probably a 'living corpse'. The 'living dead' with a hell of a lot of bloodlust...
I'll take the case! I've listened to one or two recorded sessions of this game, and if I'm not wrong the obsessions are supposed to be secret from the other players, right?


Thanks to HotSoapyBeard for the sig image!

Well the nice thing is that you are your own split personality of jon/John so you can be which ever you want. I'll shoot of the PMs in a bit.

Any rules questions please pay in this thread in case some one had the same question I don't have to answer it multiple times.

I'll be handling the dice rolls.

Alright I'll opening the staring auction on Monday. You have till then to revise your skills and obsessions if you want to change them.

I'll be doing the bidding before posting the opening scene cause I like to toss my players to the wolves with no idea of what's going to happen.

I'm planning on leaving biddings open for 24 hours (if you guys think you'd need more time I'm open to extending this), or until every one has bid. I feel that's enough time for every one to pop in and see if they want to partake.

If you want to abstain from bidding still shoot a pm letting me know so we're not all waiting on you.


Still have not here back from Dr dogballs, you have till Monday

We bid via PM? anything else that we need to communicate through PM only? Not sure what's all public. I'm a stupid newbie.

In the face to face game you'd hold out your bid in a closed fist to keep it secret. So to help keep it secret we'll be bidding via pm. It's a competitive game but it's not really a "hold your cards close" type of game. Every time I've played it in person every one usually figured out the other people's obsessions pretty quick but end up having too much fun to actively work against each other

THE BIDDING HAS STARTED

Remember if you started out with 2 skills then you have 10 willpower to bid with. If you started with 3 skills then you have 7 willpower to bid with.

Bidding will remain open 24 hours or until I hear back from everyone.

And the winner of our bid is Meeksha!


"I think we've made tremendous progress these last few years, Jon."

You come into consciousness to those words. You find yourself passing on a long couch feeling relaxed and comfortable here. You feel safe in this small office. Over the voice to can hear a white noise machine playing a babbling brook.

A woman sits on a chair by you writing into her notepad. She looks very pleased with herself. "It's been months since your last episode and you got yourself a steady job. I want to keep you in your medication still just in case though."

Lookin for jon

You have full control of jon, dictate and narrate as you see fit.

Meeksha

-freb dust
Answer her, Jon.

"oh uh, huh, um... sorry doc. you're a doc, right?"
Dr. Puffins: It's been months since your last episode and you got yourself a steady job. I want to keep you on your medication still just in case though. It's been months since medication and you got a steady episode. It's been a steady job. I want to keep just in case. You got a episode."
"DOC??"

You look over at the sound machine, which is still sending out the soothing sounds of a babbling brook, and switch it to "off." What was that? A daydream? You've been taking your meds, surely it wasn't another episode. things have been going so well. But it sure was great to have someone to talk to ever since Mom and Dad kicked you out of the house. You never could please them, and they could never love you.

Why are you afraid, Jon? It's easy. Just do it.

You stare blankly into the mirror. Are your own insecurities worth the constant disappointment? Just do it and make your parents happy. Maybe that is the solution to the mental puzzle that has gone unsolved for all these years?

This is it. Today is the day everything changes. You grab your GBA and slam your copy of Pokemon Red in... we're locked and loaded. I-40 is a 5 minute walk away, plenty of time to build your nerve or pussy out and stay in the downward spiral.

You've made it. Today is the day everything changes. Make your parents proud. This is all they've ever asked of you.

You run into the center lane and slide the power button to "ON." You feel a surge of confidence as if you've just powered YOURSELF on. You feel alive. As you select "NEW GAME," you hear the squealing of tires, and then everything goes black.

"Jon? Jon!" The psychiatrist shouts after our hero. Try as hard as she might though her heels are just not made for catching deranged mental patients. "Some one stop him!"

Jon moves too fast and the staff is just caught off guard and Jon makes his way out into traffic.
