Thanks for Game! (Post Game Announcements)

by Christory Book

May 18th, 2014

Thanks to everyone who came out. If we didn't see you, you were missed! I hope we'll see you back next time and if next time will be your first time, even better!

We made a conscious decision to not close with announcements after this game. It left the RP lingering longer and left people to talk about the awesome stuff they did in game just a bit longer. Anything that could be said will be said here.

Awesome Scenes:  I had some awesome scenes with Dan, Ed, Dave, Ken, Jeff, Cameron, Jim, and Tim.

New Players: Welcome to Sarah and Dave who came to check out Nightmares for their first game.

Willpower: Don't be afraid to spend it so I can refresh it! So other players can refresh it! Remember, they double as great offer cards for people to come play as all of our game info is on the back. So if you took some home, hand it out to others who might be interested in playing!

DEXCON: We decided not to muddle sign in with a second list especially with item cards going out. We'll do a post about it later next week to gauge interest. We hope some of you will check it out.

Finally... If we get everyone who has played to come, that's going to be an awesome event. June we're back in the Peace Cafe.

If any of the other STs have anything they'll comment. Feel free to share your favorite moments.

[IC NEWS] Famous Fireworks Designer Chosen for Festival

by Nightmares

May 16th, 2014

NEW HAVEN - The First Annual Lights & The Sound Festival (a rebranding of the annual fireworks at East Rock Park) have found its first designer. Nationally recognized within the Fireworks Design community, Dominic "Nic" Salvatore is famous for his high energy displays, expertly timed musical interludes, and impressive finale explosions.

The deputy mayor made these comments:

"With the turnout for the displays growing each year, the city voted last fall to make the event one the city can be proud of and to create a legacy for future generations to follow. No to make a pun, but hiring (Dominic Salvatore) was the way to start things out with a bang."

Salvatore could not be reached for comment by press time.

[IC NEWS] Fair Haven Heights Home Burns Down, 1 Dead

by Nightmares

May 16th, 2014

NEW HAVEN - A tragic fire claimed the life of one woman early Wednesday morning. The single family home on Pennyworth Lane in the Fair Haven Heights neighborhood was unable to be saved by firefighters who worked tirelessly to prevent the flames from spreading to other nearby houses.

New Haven Police have confirmed the identity of the deceased as 61 year old Michelle Corea, a lifelong New Haven resident, who was found in the remains of the home once the flames had been stopped. She was pronounced dead on the scene and transported to Yale-New Haven.

Eric Longmire, New Haven Fire Marshal deputy released a statement early Friday:

"Everyone in New Haven public service is deeply saddened by the loss of Ms. Corea. We suspect no foul play at this time and have evidence pointing to a creo-soot build-up in Ms. Corea's chimney. The New Haven Fire Department encourages all residents with a chimney to have their floos cleaned once a year to prevent such awful tragedies."

Ms. Corea had recently seen tough times with an unfortunate fine levied upon her for Domestic Disturbance, a finable city ordinance, for an altercation with her neighbors. She is survived by one son. Funeral Services have not yet been announced by the family.

DEXCON

by Nightmares

May 14th, 2014

Last game we announced that we've been invited to DEXCON to run a module there under the new system.

We would love for you to attend as your PC or even as an NPC or alternate PC. There will be IC rewards for attending so we're working that out.

The convention is massive and amazing spanning 5 days from Wednesday to Sunday on the first weekend in July. They've been running for 16 years so they're not yanking your chain. Check out the website: http://www.dexposure.com/dexcon17.html

We will have a signup sheet at this coming game for you to indicate interest or attendance. The more people who decide to go, the cheaper the convention will be for everyone going with our group. They already want us to make this a yearly thing so we'd like to hit it out of the park for them.

We hope you'll consider attending and we'll be happy to help you in any way we can. Just ask! :)

Item Cards

by Nightmares

May 14th, 2014

DESCRIPTION

We will have our official item cards this game. Standard item cards will be the same size as Boons. Special or Unique item cards will be index card sized. We're considering a color tag system for concealable vs non but for this game, if you need to know you can ask as a quick OOC note or have an ST confirm for you.

There are two types of standard item cards. The first type is preprinted. You will usually get these from NPCs, plot, scenes, etc. They look slightly different so the STs can quickly determine what has gone where. We may occassionally come and replace these with type 2.

The second type of item cards are printed cards with writing designating item name, traits, and special qualities. You will easily see the difference from a distance.

DISTRIBUTION

We will start distributing the cards *even before game* probably at Subway. You can receive 1 item card automatically, one additional card, and additional cards for each level of resources you have. We will consider allies & contacts on a case by case basis only if you do not have Resources. The A or C must be appropriate to be getting you the item you're requesting. (i.e. if your contact is the liquor store guy, he can't get you an RPG Launcher, but he could probably score you a shotgun.)

For elements of fairness if you're receiving an item cache from us from a dinner or preview event prize, you will recieve only that cache and must use downtime to get anything else.

BOUNDRIES

Common items such as food, lighters, cigars, etc can be phys repped. Commonly traded items such as money even drugs will not have cards. They don't need traits and don't really need to be phys repped. If its reasonable that you have an amount of money or drugs on your person then you have it. Any unreasonable amounts will be a Special Item Card at ST discretion.

If something has traits for combat purposes please don't phys rep it. It just avoids questions. No toy guns or knives. No body armor. We're playing in downtown Southington on a Saturday night. I'd hate to see you get shook down while smoking on the town green for carrying a dart gun or wearing a swat vest. Use common sense. If something has social implications, such as a custom suit or designer shades, feel free to rep it and ask for a card for it.

by Nightmares

May 3rd, 2014

You can find us on Facebook as CT METG Presents: Nightmares. The staff is using this Facebook for recruiting purposes only in an attempt to bring in some fresh faces to our young game. If you want to "Like" it in solidarity that's awesome.

There will be no game updates, plot, or anything else like that distributed via Facebook. No regular pictures will be posted or tagged. It is strictly for recruiting purposes for the staff.
