So I am back in the moderator's good graces at odd74 and I'm taking a stroll down Chainmail Carcosa memory lane.ehiker133 wrote:That Carcosa game was soooooo much fun!! I'd forgotten all about it. Shoot, what was my character's name? Pretty sure he made it all the way to the end of that game. Or close to it.

Your PC was The Shadow of the Evermore, a Jale Man who morphed into some kind of weird sea-slug after a near-death experience. He had a 7-headed flail and a big, scary helmet.
We also had,
Breath of New Moon, Bone Woman (kipper]
The Gunnery Veiled, Orange Man (waysoftheearth)
Sovereign Mask of All Who See
Servitor of The Yellow Sign
Fated to Die
The Eye of Thundera
Thaimos the Seeker
The Mirthful Doomed
Minion of the Unholy Fragnog
Vociferous Bastard From Innsmouth
Apothecaria
Grand Yet Mystifying
Loyal Beast of the Unknown Master
The Preservation of Humanity
Good times! Interesting to note that 7 of the 14 players, as well as the DM, were either banned, or had their accounts deleted, from the forums. The curse of Carcosa I guess!
That was my first-ever PbP campaign as a DM, started April 2021, so coming up on 10 years! I think my first ever PbP experience as a player was in waysoftheearth's Hinterlands campaign. My first PC, Michele, foolishly shot another PC in the back in a "friendly fire" incident, then got squished by an ogre. That was August, 2010 I joined your game, Ways.... 10 years of PbP fun!!
Oil becomes light. Light gets you more time. Time gets you more money. Money gets you more oil. Oil, money, light and time all in one.

Ahhh... Lupe Royce. One of my faves. He was a potential DOA character with wholly below-average ability scores (were they all single digit? can't recall) and 1 hp who turned out to be an urchin boy-thief of audacious bravery. He was a lot of fun. I especially enjoyed the episode of sneaking into the boss orc's bed chamber, attempting to tie his shoe-laces or some such (as a 1st level thief, mind) and getting caught red handed. And then surviving it LOL. That was some sneakin', proper likemushgnome wrote: Lupe Royce (waysoftheearth)
