We’ll start at 2 pm, as we agreed at the end of last session.
Also, we asked Dad what a good stopping place would be for this campaign. He suggested that after the battle with the Baron, IF we win, would be a good time to take a break. Hopefully, that gives us a vague timeline for getting Shadowrun prepped… does that sound doable Kev?
I’ll try to write out my character concept in the Shadowtalk thread; if we babble about characters maybe we’ll get some coordination out of the way.
After reading some of the more extreme Peak Oil sites (and finding flaws where they tried to stretch their arguments), I was content to just about write them off. Kevin Drum did the research though, and while there’s a lot of disagreement on particulars, there seems to be some wide concensus. Kevin Drum’s Peak Oil reporting–
Executive Summary.
Details: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4, Part 5, Coda
Repost of Kev’s Site link. His World history, & Character Creation rules.
I thought we could use a thread to talk about character concepts, ask questions, figure out what we want to see in a campaign, and the like. (Plus, if I find any useful links, I’ll tack them on.)
What time do we want to start this week– our standard 2pm, or closer to noon (like last week)? Do we want to stop earlier? [I’d be OK with a solid 6 hour session, for example.]
Most of the spells were wonky again; I’ll have to check out your generator Dad & try to find out why it’s only churning out stuff we don’t have books for.
Since days & times are up in the air, here’s a thread for figuring out when we can meet next. Everybody, say “Arrr!” with me.
UPDATE: So, Monday’s the plan. Ben suggests an early start… say, 10 or 11 am. Does that work for you?
So, Sunday the 22nd. Does the day work? Should we start around 2 pm, or is there a better time to start?
Let’s use this thread for purchases & item creation/sale, and a discussion about where we’re going. Ben kicked off with a great comment, questioning what our characters see as their next step.
[Update: We’ve already had our two weekends off– I deleted the reference to “what we’ll be up to”, since we’ve already done it. Also, I changed the date to bump it to the top.]
(An aside: Marv’s Spells is a very handy database of spells.)

This comes from Heather Grove’s Burning Void blog
- What was your character’s last nightmare? How much did it frighten her? What disturbed her most about it?
- Does your character like or dislike her name? Why? If she dislikes it, what does she wish her parents had named her? If she changed her name at some point, what did she change it from, why, and has she been happy with her choice?
- What snacks does your character have in her cupboards right now?
My answers are below; you can answer for your character in comments if you like.
This one I’m less clear on… Ben, what system, setting, etc. are you proposing? This thread’s a place to build our interest… if you dare. Mwahhahah.
