SLENDER MAN

FEAR ITSELF

[ArtfulShrapnel]

Definitely going to run a game wednesday night for codex contributors.

I totally want in on this, but I have my CoC game wednesday night. So sad. I hope you manage to record this one so I can catch up later, I shall be too busy revealing the deep secrets of the unknowable cosmos to my players.

tl;dr BAAAAAAAAW!!

[clockworkjoe]

any codex contributors interested?

[Setherick]

Do I count?

[Alexander]

Sign me up!

[kirbysdouble]

I'll have to do a lot of reading up on Fear Itself, and skype for that matter... but, I'll see if I can show up.  How does one roll dice over the internet anyways?

[clockworkjoe]

Fear Itself is a simple system to play in.

I will use maptools to roll dice.

[Sean-o-tron]

Is this open to any and all contributors, or those generous individuals that contributed $100 or more?

[clockworkjoe]

I want to take care of the 100 dollar club first but I still have 3 slots open - if they don't claim the remaining 3 then I will open it up before the game starts on weds.

[Sean-o-tron]

I will totally be bombing in on this session if there is an open slot by then.

PREPARE

[clockworkjoe]

45 minutes to game start - so I am opening up the slots.

Who wants to play?

All characters are members of a documentary film crew investigating the disappearance of 4 children at a gated community named Fiddler's Green.

Because I am lazy, I did not generate pregens. However, Fear Itself characters are easy to make.

Grab a character sheet from here http://www.pelgranepress.com/gumshoe/fearitself/demo.html

A PC starts with 60 points to spend on GENERAL abilities. All PCs start with 1 health and 1 stability.

The Fleeing ability costs 2 points for every 1 point you buy.

Your SECOND HIGHEST general ability must be at least half of the HIGHEST general ability. - For instance if you have 30 health, your second highest ability must be at least 15 points.

All PCs have 10 points to spend on INVESTIGATION abilities
