Also, as to the use of real world locations in our material, it should technically be covered under Fair Use.

I believe that about locations, Mystic, but what about people?  Should we give Lawrence a new name and slightly altered background?

Should still be covered under fair use as it is obviously a work of fiction.

I had something to add, but it completely slipped my mind...

Undertowners!

Plot twists galore tonight -- hope y'all are enjoying the ride as much as I am!

In other news, San Francisco is almost finished, so if you have any input or suggestions, get them into me, please.  I'm looking to have it finished in the next couple weeks.

Thanks to everyone who has helped make San Francisco, and I'm looking forward to seeing y'all wrap up the current adventure!

First, Tory didn't do it.
Second, holy crap!
Third, naked burglary is always an option.

Undertowners:

There's a new version of the SF writeup out on the MediaFire site.  It's got some major additions / changes, so I'm especially keen to get y'all's input on it.

First, I've modified the last city theme/threat.  It's been bothering me for some time now, because it overlapped too much (in my opinion) with one of the points of conflict while kind of ignoring the others.  I've replaced it with a new threat (WITH FRIENDS LIKE THESE) that I believe better represents the points of conflict as a whole.  Let me know what you think.

Second, I am giddy with delight to announce that all the locations are now in the writeup -- in their (hopefully) finished form.  Again, please look them over and let me know if I've forgotten or otherwise missed anything.

Finally, I'll be adding in character descriptions in the coming week.  Assuming no (further) changes, that should make the document ready for public consumption.

Looking forward to tonight!

Undertowners!

Things are rapidly moving toward resolution in our latest adventure!  We've already had a showdown in the back alleys of Chinatown, with a side of really creepy tunnel.  Now, we've got a fight at the Ghoul Caves brewing, and it may be a come-one-come-all event!  I don't know what will happen, but I'm definitely looking forward to finding out!

Sorry I missed Tuesday, the pain meds are making my judgement of time a little loopy.

Anyway, Enj let me know he is having issues getting into Undertown, while I am not having any problem. Anyone else experiencing Undertown difficulties?

Nope.
I remember Torv was having almost the same problem way back when. It is some kind of Java/flash/browser mismatch issue as best we could tell. The other option was using a proxy server, which for whatever reason solved an issue for me for a similar problem.

Not a problem, Aine.  It's more important you feel better anyway.  ;D

Undertowners!

Another plotline in our adventure coming to a conclusion tonight with were-forms running rampant, mysterious fetishes, even more mysterious native american groups, and some of the finest roleplaying I've seen in a long time.  Good job to everyone!

We're almost through with this adventure, but there's still a lot of excitement yet to come.  I'm looking forward to it, and hope you are as well.

A special thank you tonight to Aine.  Thank you for updating the Undertown web page, but more personally, for making such nice comments about me.

Thank you.

The writeup is nearing completion, and as Fyr says, it's been a labor of love.  Keep checking for updates, as I try to put one out at least once a week.  Also, let me know of anything that I've missed!

Looking forward to the remainder of our current adventure!
