An octopus? LOL Cool!

Yeah… The wrath of Skype.

Why do they keep calling the private investigator Mr. Porter, when his name is Mr. Pontel.

Yeah Randall… Now I will not be able to tell who is speaking; Randall or Toni.

Cool… Just realized that part 3 is having the parts from the “Here I Go Again” song montage that Jim created at the beginning of Episode 090 – Scion of Vulcan 05 (Legacy of Arrius Lurco). Take a listen, it is AWESOME!!!

Overall I finally got used to Seth’s Keepering skill and heard how his slowness is the method to his madness; excellent! He also did a great job keeping the group forward as they were laughing and running over each other. < ^5 >

As for this one-shot that he wrote; a little over six hours and only three SAN checks (very low on the point loss) and two deaths were kind of disappointing. He used a lot of different sections to keep the players separated until it was time to bring them together.

Looking forward to more of his Keepering and another written adventure.

I think Seth did a really good job at making this into a "Hammer horror" style scenario, which was his intention at the outset. Definitely a much different feel from a typical CoC game - especially with the minimal SAN loss, as you pointed out. It would be interesting to try something like this again sometime.

Excellent Jim!

It has been over a year, is there plans for something like this again soon?

Looking forward to it.

Nothing on the current schedule, I'm afraid.
