Character Sheets and Online Database

I have finished 95% of the work on the character sheets. They are available for viewing and printing at http://www.saskatoonbynight.com/darkestnight/charactersheets/ I emailed out your username and password. If you need your character sheet prior to a game or side scene then please feel free to print them up. If you do not have a computer or printer please let me know and I am willing to print up your character sheet upon request. If you do not make the request I will assume that you have printed your own sheet and have brought it to the game. If you do not know your user name and password please email me at storyteller@saskatoonbynight.com and let me know.

Changes to Character Sheets

I also sent an email out requesting that everyone proof their sheets. I’m hoping that you have responded and have let me know if there is anything wrong with them. I hope that I have caught all the mistakes but proofreading is not one of my strong points so please let me know if your sheet is wrong. The best way to let me know is to email me at storyteller@saskatoonbynight.com. If you just tell me that something is wrong at the game then odds are I will have forgotten by the end of the night.

Group Actions for Favours and Attuning

Every single group failed at their group attuning this month because at least one person from each group submitted their group attuning action without all the information. I wanted to be fair so even if I could guess what you meant I still did not let it go through.

Here is the information that I require for a group attunement to work.

  1. Let me know if this is a Single or Group Attunement
  2. Who all is in the group (including yourself)
  3. Who is the leader of the group
  4. Which location(s). Group attunements can only be performed at a single location as everyone must work together.
  5. How many actions are you (not the group but you) putting in
  6. How much XP are you (not the group but you) spending
  7. Which Favour and which level
  8. Capping off or not Capping off.

The best way to hand this is in numbered form

Here is an example

  1. Group Attunement
  2. Joe, Frank, Deliliah
  3. Deliliah
  4. Kinsmen Merry Go Round
  5. 5 Actions
  6. 9 XP
  7. Brawn Level 2
  8. Not Capping

when even one person fails to submit the information then no one gets the bonus XP. I need all of these handed in to keep my sanity while figuring out the results. I do not have the time nor the energy to track players down. If you have any questions please ask prior to submitting your downtimes. If a group action fails I will let everyone in the group know who is responsible for it failing. It is up to you how you how your character feels about the other people not putting in the energy or trying to be leader when they are not or maybe even deliberately sabotaging the action.

New Favours

A couple of new possible Favours have awoken in your minds. Everyone is now able to gain levels in “Breath”. This power allows you breathe special “gasses” which have various effects. The other power is called “Enhancement”. It allows you to increase other people’s Favours. Enhancement must be taken in order from level 1 through to 5. Breath may be taken in any order.

In Game Location

No one has said where everyone is meeting. Therefore I have decided that you feel it best to meet in the “Vampire” house from last game. If you have a better idea then come up and tell me that you are organizing this event and where it is happening. From now on I would like someone to be responsible for setting up the event In Character. I’ll leave it up to you all to decide who it is.

New Players

Everyone say hi to Josh, Kyle, Ginger and Lisa. They have joined the game. I would still love to see the game grow so if you know anyone who is interested in possibly playing have them get in touch with me.

Raymond Fowler Wanted for Additional Murders

Friday, July 10th, 2009

Saskatoon, SK. – The hunt for Escapee Raymond Fowler is continuing stated Constable Justin Crowe of the Saskatoon Police Force. In February, Fowler was one of several inmates to escape from the Regina Penitentiary. In March, the city SWAT team surrounded Fowler in a house on west side. During the attempted capture Fowler fatally stabbed one Constable James Timmins of the SWAT team and escaped custody. Fowler is now believed to be responsible for two additional murders. Fowler appears to be targeting households with only one occupant. After murdering the occupant he takes up residence until he believes the police discover the disapperance. Crowe has stated that they currently believe Crowe to still be in the city and is likely holed up in a residential house. Saskatoon police warn that Fowler is extremely dangerous and should not be approached if encountered but are asking that if you know of anyone who has not shown up for work in the past week to contact immediately. The names of the two victims have been withheld at the request of their families.
