@hyvemind Put me to on back up list as well. I've played in a few Star Trek PbP about ten years ago. I've never played Monsterhearts but I've always wanted too.

Righty-o. joecrak, Forresst, and Probie Tim have been approved and added as player to the game on RPoL.net. Thanks very much for the offer of help, Probie Tim. I feel like I'm slowly finding my way around RPoL.net, but things don't seem to be that intuitive. I just sent you an RTJ post over there -- asking to be a lurker only if you're willing. Also wanted to alert you and anyone else new to RPOL that you should familiarize yourself with the site's policies on "mature" content involving underage characters. That can be found in the FAQs under "Site Policies".

I've added you to the list of backups natebob. You too bevinflannery. I'll add you as a lurker as soon as I see how to dobthat. Thanks for reminding me to go look at the RpoL.net policy on mature games, too. Teenagers having sex is something I totally understand people being uncomfortable with. I'm honestly not keen on people playing younger characters, and always aim for "TV high school" myself. A bunch of creepy sea caves full of snakes sounds awesome Forresst. I imagine there's a seaside B&B too, ayslyn. Anyone who's interested in seeing the basics of how the game works, at least from a player's perspective, can grab the Skins and player reference sheets from the public Google Drive link I posted.

OK so... just to recap. We're on an island, with a bridge to the mainland, it's kinda foresty-lush temperate, we're rich kids or trying to be, there's a seaside b&b and a tea house for sure, and obvs a high school where we all make life miserable for each other, and some caves with snakes in them. It's probably more likely to be in the atlantic than the pacific. Right?
I'm asking mainly because there's a thing on that rpol thing for maps! And I am good at making maps! I will make a little basic map when we figure more things out.

As for wealth backgrounds, that's for each player to decide about their family.

Yes, but it's a rich-ish town I guess is what I mean.

I got what you meant Forresst. If the island is fairly affluent, PCs will need a way of fitting in. That could mean being from a wealthy family, or it could mean being the poor kid everyone shuns. By the way, have other people chosen a Skin yet? Any you are leaning towards gina, or have questions about Probie Tim and shadrack?

Yes curious about Gina, Tim and shadrack's skins. I'm thinking i may have already lost my pelt to another character, and be living with them, as the sort of "poor relation" or "adopted orphan" So I'm keen to see who everyone migh be.

I've been holding off on talking about that Background section on each Skin, but you have to start the game with your pelt in the possession of another person fredrix. It can be another PC or an NPC if you want, but saying a PC has it will make things more interesting. It seems counter intuitive, but you want people to have your pelt. Sure, they can force you to do things to get it back, but you get a String on them if they don't return it afterwards. And Strings on other characters are good.

No problem, Probie Tim. Real life has an annoying habit of getting in the way of gaming. Which is the main reason why I decided to try a play-by-post game. As for picking a Skin, there's no need to fill anything out just yet. You can if you want to of course, especially the name and look parts. But you can hold off on picking moves until you see what Skins other people are playing and what the setting is like.

No sweat Probie Tim. Getting all goth-y for your birthday, huh? Happy birthday, by the way.

I'd like to go with my fave skin, I think, The Mortal. If that works for everyone...
And apologies for the tardy, work sucked me in with no days off until tomorrow. I'll set up my account and play catch-up then. :)
