I’m really looking forward to starting up this roleplay. I’m always wary of bringing in new players because I dont see myself as that great a story teller. I’m even more warey about bringing experienced players into the group because I know the way we run roleplays is nothing like alot of people. Willie mentioned to Dave last night that any characters they come across that it will be me playing them…and I do try to add a little bit of character into it but its a rarity. I’ve seen tabletop groups that run games as if they were live roleplay events but without the moving about and ive seen folk play the game as if it was a Steven Jackson adventure book..barely saying a word in character and constantly refering to themselves in the 3rd person.

I love the storyline ive got in my head and I just hope it works out when I actually get this thing running. Just a little pissed off that the film Nightwatch has a very similar story to it from what I can work out

Anyway I’ve got 4 out of maybe 5 characters sort of agreed. Theres been very little the guys have came up with for thier chars that I’ve not been able to let them do so far and anyway their going to get a little bit of a skill boost after I’ve took them through “The Guard” training ala the step from the Star Trek roleplay where your character goes through the academy but I get to assign the dots rather than the player.

With a bit of luck we might be able to get the characters drawn up very soon which will only speed things up…
