I wrote down a shopping list to go get rifles from the Bazaar, using the money we got forwarded by the dept.

Unless I'M the one forgetting that we didn't buy them yet .-.
Errr...Cinder? Do we have the stuff already?

Regardless, John is fairly vacant. I can easily write in that he missed Josephine taking it.

Update will be soon, but I couldn't resist working on some more fluffs and pieces.

Consider these disconnected notions:

• The campaign is set in 1880. More than 10 years before the current events of Fallen London. Of course, this is an alternate universe, so things will be different.
• The Troubleshooters will likely have to deal with anarchists at some point, both as allies and enemies.
• Did I mention Rubbery Men? The Rubbery Correspondent will be involved. Thank God you can't understand what she says. Curse God you can read what she writes.
• Also, Unterzee. This /is/ still a Sunless Sea campaign, after all.

I'll be updating once I get off the giant metal bird. Probably.

[hops]

So, there are two important things:

1. I'm trying to be more consistent with my update schedule. What update speed would you guys be comfortable with?

2. I'm not sure who's still in. I know flame99 asked to be put on auto.

[Tack]

Comfortable...

[AlleeCat]

I, the most important player, with the most important character, am still here.

[Sergius]

I'm fine with a couple times a week, but don't mind if we play more often. I'll probably take a day to respond either way, unless I just happen to be constantly hitting F5 on updated posts in the forums which is around the middle of the day.

I'm alive! X_X
And I am very much in. RL issues just happened. x_x

I love FL, except for the insanely grindy late game. Are there open slots? I've played FATE before. I'd be interested in joining, but I'm somewhat busy at the time and living in the CET zone. I'd probably only be able to play in the local early morning and evening right now. If that's a problem, I completely understand.

Spoiler: brainstorm going nowhere (click to show/hide)

I'd probably play a Rubbery Man, for fun and profit blind tiny fishes. I've been to Flute Street (kind of a disappointment if I recall it correctly-- all grind and a little lore yet no plot, no drama, almost no characters) so I probably get the lore right. (What do Fallen Londoners buy Deep Amber for, again? The more expensive kinds are implied to have a hypnotic effect possibly influencing people to buy them, but the dirt-cheap variants mentions nothing of the sort.)
My Ruberry Man would of course only be able to communicate with humans via quivering boneless gestures and short, badly written notes. And the meaningul wiggles of his brow-tentacles.
Not sure if I want to play him as an ironically sociable character(maybe constructed as an entertainer for the [REDACTED], maybe adopted as a sort of mascot by university students and bohemians, maybe with a humorously grotesque and completely accurate reputation for seduction, maybe just wearing a very charming hat) or as a combat monster hiding under a bashful, fumbling shell(who would have thought that anybody could hold that many pistols-- with his beard? Or maybe there are entirely too many stingers and pincers and venom sacs under that green coat) or maybe as a craftsman (one can make many a useful thing from amber, and many a useful thing from flesh).

Or, instead, maybe, even better, a Rattus Faber? I don't remember if the Dept of ME has any strict rules against employing advanced vermin. A proud and foolhardy adventurer and duellant and sellsword. Descendant of a long(five generations a year!) and proud(never ratted out nobody!) lineage. Boisterous and full of dubious stories about past exploits and connections. Not quite fearless. Member in various secret lodges and knightly orders and skittles clubs (for rats). Pursuing blood feuds with a raven clan and all tabby cats. Carries around more dynamite and tiny pistols than reasonable or strictly possible. Skilled fencer, claims he can parry a human boot (he cannot parry a human boot). Almost immediately after he is killed, lost, sacrificed, eaten, declared AWOL, or whisked away to another plane of existence, a virtually identical rat turns up in a suspicious manner, claims to be his son, nephew, milkbrother, great-grandfather or lawyer, takes his place and what is left of his stuff, and adds a new feud to the list if applicable.

Anyway, how many of the Phases have the characters gone through? Some only filled out one, some three or more...

And I haven't completely read through the threads yet, so I hope I didn't ask any annoyingly superflous question.

Oops, forgot to roll for initiative, give me a moment.

Also we have an open slot. A rubbery man would be quite welcome.

Ambers absorb the vital essence of people in London, which the Rubbery Men retrieve to use in their shapeshifting shenanigans I think.

A rattus faber would also work, but there would be obvious conflict of interest since one of the planned arcs involve fighting them.

SPOIHLERZ! D:

OK, splendid! I'll work on a sheet, then. Tonight.

Ambers absorb...

Yes, but I'm unsure about the FL side of things. The RM must first sell them Amber and then buy it back, and the only thing they have to offer is more Amber. It might work for a while, like a ponzi scheme, but the price of Amber would plummet. All the time.

Although the Tentacled Entrepeneur owns factories of Rubbery workers IIRC, so they can exchange some labour for Amber.

Er... Sorry I don't post very much I'm, er... A bit of a procrastinator but I promise to post more! Anyway, how do you wan to do combat? Would you prefer us to all post our actions and then you execute them in the order of initiative or would you prefer us to post in the order that we act?
