Well I'm sorry to get your hopes up.
How is Portland Maine by the way? I've never been and have always wondered how it would relate to Portland OR.
Portland OR is a pretty strange city to be honest. I mean, there is a sign saying "keep Portland weird" and Portlandia has done wonders for promoting the nationalism of the population making it even stranger.

Well I think you did a stellar job. I couldn't put it down once I started. Really enjoyed the novella and would like to read the next ones!

General Chaos / H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival (Portland)

Hey guys,

I was just wondering if anyone is going to the film festival in Portland this weekend.
I've never been to any of these festivals before so I was wondering what to expect and I was curious about just how amazing it would be!

Thanks, I will check those out post haste!
I love the IT crowd. I always go back to it after every 6 months or so, can't go too long without re-watching it. Think my favorite episode is season 2 episode 1 believe where they go to the gay musical "Gay"

Are you talking about the British sit come of the same name starring Chris O'Dowd?

Interestingly enough, the terracotta army from the Qin dynasty (221-205 BCE) are not all individualized copies of his soldiers, but in fact made of a mixture of about 7 different people. This was to emphasis that people were not individual, but rather that they were creations of the state.... Sorry, I just took a class on it actually.

Sounds like a magical place Ross, hope you enjoyed yourself.

Oh, also, I saw that you had a couple e-books up on amazon today. I bought both of them. Hear that Ross? I bought your books!
(and read them too. They were very fun reads, can't wait for the next ones to come out!)

I as well miss Cody. RPPR is not the same without his antics and the yelling of "lol :3" every episode. 
Doesn't he have a blog or something though?

I as well recently watched this movie with my girlfriend. We thoroughly enjoyed it.
I particularly liked how in depth it was about the different types of trolls.

Call of Cthulhu / World of Darkness / Re: Masks: Advice and General Discussion.

Thank you, I'll look through those.
It's the first campaign I've been thinking about running, hopefully I'll get a group together somehow.

One thing I have been curious about though is how do you create a way for players to rejoin when their characters die that flows with the story. That's just a little problem I've been working on. Delta Green makes it so much easier to add new characters.

Call of Cthulhu / World of Darkness / Masks: Advice and General Discussion.

« on: December 24, 2011, 07:25:34 PM »

Hey everyone,

Once school starts back up again I'm thinking about running Masks of Nyarlathotep for my group and was looking for some advice, suggestions, etc. on how to run it and whatnot from players and gm's who have experience with it.

I remember Ross talking in one of the rppr episodes about how he had an organization that fed new pc's into the game which sounded like a good idea to me. Finding a way to reincorporate dead players into the game so as not to disrupt the flow of the story has it's obstacles.

Aside from that, maybe things in the campaign that you thought were confusing or should have been presented in a way that is different than in the book.  Ideas on how to spice it up, add more atmosphere etc. anything really. I'm looking for a more in depth discussion of the campaign so as to help me run it to the best of my abilities.

For reference, I have an older 1989 copy Masks.

Thanks.

I'm staying home, spending it with my mom and her boyfriend. Possibly his son as well, so it'll be fun.
Going up to my girlfriends for new years though, looking forward to that.
