Hrmm, I can see an argument for either side. One on hand handing out XP in batches makes sure people stay on the same level, but doesn't it make sense that a character doing more and succeeding should receive more XP than a character who doesn't? Although I see what you're saying, just doing...
Cool! I posted the next bit to explain the situation and lead ya'll to the free-RP zone. Another thing I forgot to mention: considering that Lts. Argall and Barker both have relatively low Volition skill travel through the Pale may drain them of Morale and leave them depressed/suicidal. This...

And with that this the encounter is ended. By my account @Agent has 4 xp and @Silanon has 10, please correct me if...

@Silanon do you know when you'll be able to get a quick post up? If you could make a roll I can handle it from there (also, roll them bones @Agent). Then we can call that first bit ended.
I'm working on the first part now when the characters meet and get the lowdown from Captain Svankmajer at...
For @Silanon and @Dreamtique I've taken @Agents bbc code and simplified it a little bit so that you can use if you want ! Don't feel like it's necessary, but I find it much easier to read the character sheet this way than the text list format, thanks @Agent.
Meet the allegorical everyman, John...
@Agent I just now realized that isn't an image but bbc code! I think that display would work well and much easier to update than the bbc table, but when I try to copy it over and test it the text comes up black on black background for some reason. I'll fiddle with it some more but I think it...
While we wait for Argall and Barker:
Does anyone know a clean way of inserting a spreadsheet into a post? I keep everyone's character sheets on a spreadsheet which makes it much easier to deal with than the lists we use for the character sheet right now. I found a way of converting the...
When the research time is done the debuffs go away and are replaced by a buff, if that's what you mean.
Theoretically (and also in DE) there are some thoughts that can have buffs while researching that turn into debuffs when complete, so like the opposite of a regular Thought, but I dunno...
Everyone starts with 1 Thought Cabinet slot unlocked but other ones cost a skill point to unlock. The debuffs are the negative since you'll have to play with them for a while
I've also updated the IC thread with an "Other" link at the top that goes to a thread where I condensed down all the skill descriptions into a format that should be easier to read, along with the rules as I have them so far

Ok, so we'll stick to the cycles and have the roll limit be 2. I'm realizing now that I'll have to rethink research time a little with the cycles. I'm working on a post to wrap up the Uptown scene and to bring things back to Precinct 17, should be ready soon
Alright so @Silanon if you want to make a post responding to @Agent I can make another post wrapping up the scene and hand out the Thoughts. Once that's done @Dreamtique we can wrap up at the pet shop and then we can have all the characters come together for the meeting with Captain Svankmajer...
