I kept calling it "the Winslow" because it made me think of Carl Winslow from Family Matters.

Another missed opportunity for using celebrity impersonations to provide characterization to NPCs.

Okay I follow that then. So how far could it "see"? I assumed it had extremely far reaching sensory ability.

it could see pretty much everything in the solar system, at a bare minimum

As much as I love being credited for obscure references, I wasn't referring to a comic book. In fact, I kept calling it "the Winslow" because it made me think of Carl Winslow from Family Matters. My love for African-American cops comes through in my role-playing once again (see: Ernie Hudson).

You mean the cop from Die Hard?

The Cop from Die Hard is Carl Winslow on Family Matters, same actor-Reginald VelJohnson
Ernie Hudson is from Ghost Busters, where he plays Winston. He is also in whole bunch of other shit too. Not only that but he is/was a Delta Green friendly.

My character shoved Ernie Hudson into a time gate to seal it in the end of a DG scenario. Ernie was promptly eaten by a velociraptor. My character later died of radiation poisoning.

Falling into a time gate though, I mean, he could be hanging out with Abraham Lincoln as he is betrayed by the Drow.

Pretty sure Ross' exact quote was, "You find your self in the precambrian period. You manage to survive for a few hours, but you're eventually tracked and eaten by a velociraptor."

I remember hearing about this session on the podcast or something recently, was it recorded?  Is there a possibility of seeing this session on the AP site at some point?

No because I ran it before I bought the h2 recorder

I fucking knew it Cody. Harrrr. Nice AP guys, and yeah wtf was with the celebrity donations?
And sneakin' around lunchladies was pretty alright.

How'd you and jason like the system?

Personally, I really enjoyed the system. I like this system much more than CoC for some reason. I dunno.
I'm from Alaska. About Fifty miles south of Ankorage there's a little fishing town, maybe you've heard of it, it's called fuck your momma.

Awesome. I very much enjoy the new World of Darkness System, especially when there's a storyteller in control who's willing to allow players to approach problems in strange ways and doesn't mind using "different" attribute and skill combinations.
