I have two things to announce. First, I was thinking about characters and story, and the possibility that they might die. I'd prefer not to kill off anyone important, that we have our hearts and minds wrapped up in, unless a player approaches me and asks for it. However, to keep the game realistic, it's very important that players let their characters be afraid.<br/><br/>It's one thing to act heroicly, and to defend someone else with a poker when backed into a corner; it's completely another thing to charge at the tentacled thing with your bare hands while everyone else is running, screaming, away from the monstrosity. You do have a bit of license here, and you don't have to worry that a single heroic moment = character death. But chronically heroic characters can and will die if they do silly things. Jumping into the water to punch the scary shark thing is likely to make you a bloody pool of water decoration.<br/><br/><hr/><br/>Moving on, I have room for 2-3 servant girls/women, and 1-2 servant boys, if anyone is interested. These are bit characters. You know the character that you giggle at in the horror movies? The ones that you just know were written in for the purposes of gore? These are them. Must be able to play out death scenes, and will likely end up having sex (if attractive) before you die. We all know that sex does equal death in scary stories. Bring on those slutty aristocrats! :P
