Players in Attendance: Aus (GM), Carla, Dien, Jim, Jess, L, Nate, Nikki, Zander

Characters in Attendance: Chow, Elene, Eric, Fred, Georgio, Joseph, Katie, Lynn, Maxine, Meridith, Monty, Nica, Monty, Quen, Rex, Vito

NPCs met: Mayor Tuttleford; a communist zombie; many citizens in danger

XP / DP / Citizenship awarded: XP- 1 point for minimal participation (character showed up); 2 points for full participation (character participated fully in session); 3 points extra participation (character participated in an extra meaningful way). Banked XP awarded: 1 point to - Rex (sports), Mere (driving), Chow (doctor), Gloria (doctor) for using those skills in spiffy ways during session. 1 point XP was awarded to anyone who wrote a character journal detailing their reaction to founder's day. DP awarded to those who had a Dramatic Moment (1 point). One point of Citizenship given to each character who was seen defending the town (this is in addition to the 1 point all characters who attended Founder's Day received).

Summary: Founder's Day part two came to a conclusion when the pc's defeated the zomunist invaders. Some of those undead looked familiar - gas station attendants and local farmers. They were unarmed - but what about their shotgun wielding commander? He was wearing a Soviet uniform and shouting orders in Russian-- and he got away.

New Plot Points:
Who was that commanding zombie shooting and shouting orders in Russian? Where did he go?

Injured survivors of the attack were taken to the hospital and treated. Are any of them infected?

The town is now under a state of emergency. Those attempting to leave the town via the north or south highways will be turned away by National Guardsmen.

The mayor is urging everyone to prepare their private shelters and follow their civil defense coordinators in organizing their town shelters and defense plan.

Next Live Session: Wednesday March 6th at 7pm EST.

Current Mood: contemplative

Who: PCs Surviving the Founder's Field Massacre
When: The night the fight came to an end
Where: Joseph's Home

After getting home and making sure that the gun shop owner was paid in full for the gun (and orders for more ammo for the one he had just bought and the guns he already owned), Joseph set about to his next task, finding his younger brother and making sure that he was alright.

It didn't take long. It turned out that Wesley had high-tailed it from the Founder's Day celebration and hidden in a friend's home. Joseph told him to simply stay put and he'd send the driver to come by and get him in the morning. There was no point in his brother leaving a place that was already safe, right?

So, the next thing to do was get drunk, at least in Joseph's opinion. It was also another reason he had told his brother to stay put. Still, he didn't want to be alone tonight, so he had put out a few calls to the people that he knew and even fought together with today, inviting them to come over if they so happened to want to do so. Sitting in his study, he stared at his glass of scotch, not quite ready to down it yet for whatever reason.

When: After the Founder's Day celebration came to an abrupt end
Where: Founder's Hall

"... where -is- the mayor?" Chester inquired, looking around with a slight air of concern. Between what had just happened and what Mr. Marchese had just told him and the realization that their town's state of civil defense readiness was definitely not equipped to handle this, Chester felt that something had to be done, and although it pained him to admit it, perhaps Katie had been right about wanting to start preparations. Now there were neighbors with trunks full of shotguns and Communists charging out of the woodwork and stories of government cleanups and Soviet shootings, and apparently more than one person was willing to vouch for what had originally sounded like a crazy excuse to take a holiday.

Well, sir, Chester Wilson wasn't about to stand for it. He spotted the Mayor through one of Founder Hall's windows, and strode for the building. If the neighborhood was going to hell and the Communists were on the doorstep, by God, he was going to do something.

He just wasn't entirely sure what, really.

For now, though, that something was 'speak to the Mayor.'

"Mayor Tuttleford! Mayor Tuttleford -- we've cleared out those damn Commie freaks," he called as he headed in. "What are we going to do to protect the town?"

"Chester, have you finished your bomb shelter?" Janie asked, catching Fred's attention as Chester - the fellow who was married to that nice church girl who always brought in good baked goods for the bake sale - replied, a bit unsteadily, "Well, the town one near us is-- no. It's still unsupplied. Erm."

"You should try to get supplies," she began. "I've got some stocked, but... Philip thought I was making up tales."

Fred cleared his throat. After what he'd just seen, he figured he might as well bring it up. "... I've got a place, if you folk need a place to hide. Ain't much to look at right now, but this ain't much a time to put carpet on the walls. It's got some food, some water, and enough ammunition to last till Judgment Day and then some. 'Course, anything you want to bring to help, or anything you might want to advise on the subject, would be good. I've just been stockin' based on what I read in the pamphlets."

Players in Attendance: L (GM) , Aus, Carla, Gen, Jess, Jim, Nate, Nikki, Zander

Characters in Attendance:Alex, Elene, Fred, Georgio, Gloria, Janie, Joseph, Katie, Maxine, Monty, Nica, Rex, Quen, Vito

NPCs Met: Gordon Seth, proprietor of Seth Arms and his son, Bobby. Misty, the sunshine dairy milkmaid. 'Abe Lincoln, the mascot of Grand Union.

XP/DP/Citizenship Awarded: Everyone who attended receives one citizenship point. Anyone who entered the marksmanship contest receives 1 XP banked toward Gun-Fu. Anyone who entered the pie eating contest receives 1 XP banked toward constitution. Please mark your character sheets accordingly. Also remember if your character attended Janie's society post, you earned a citizenship point from that. These points will come in handy next live session, so please remember to mark them on your sheet.

Summary: Founder's Day is a fun time for all the townsfolk. Characters explored the various booths - some picking up pamphlets from the People of Decency table warning against the dangers of comic books, drugs, and that rock and roll music.

A marksmanship contest took place with winners receiving trophies and coupons for discount weaponry from Seth Arms. During the contest, Vito showed the soviet bullet to Gordon Seth and asked if he sold them in his shop. Seth said that he and the other shop in town only sold American makes, but suggested it might have been brought back from the war and shot off by some hobbyist.

The pie eating contest was a lot of fun, though it resulted in some achy tummies. Mayor Tuttleford took the stage, about to make his annual Founder's Day speech. Everyone is ready to listen.

New Plot Points:
The soviet bullet found in the shot up gas station was not purchased in town. Where did it come from?

There is a second gun shop in town, in the Redview Mall.

The People of Decency are against comics, rock and roll, and other unwholesome activities.

Next Live Session:
Next live session will be held Wednesday, Feb 13 at 7pm EST. This will be a continuation of Founder's Day. Please attend if at all possible- we will need all the help we can get as something BIG is about to happen! If you haven't finished up your sheet yet and need some assistance, please drop in sometime before Wed and we'll give you a hand. Likewise, if you need to go over the basics of how to do combat and use the bot, drop in if you have time and we'll get you squared away.

There are a few special maneuvers characters can try, and we've put them up on the website here: http://labarc.com/CharLoft/wiki/doku.php?id=worlds:pleasantdale:maneuvers . These involve recruiting NPCs to help you, and will be very useful during the next live session.

Current Mood: cheerful

The wife of Chester Wilson was spotted wearing Captain Mystery's trademark cape at the Silver Skies drive-in during a holiday show there. Could it be that while Chester cleans up in the Fuller Brush market, Kattherine has been swept off her feet as the Captain's latest conquest?

Local UFO enthusiasts have been keeping their eyes to the skies after a strange flash of light was spotted late one night by some teenagers out past curfew on Pleasantdale Ridge. Since no air sirens followed the flash, that meant it wasn't a commie invasion -- which can mean only one thing. Aliens!

Is rabies on the rise? The Pleasant Pastures Veterinary Clinic seems to think so. They're having an upcoming event to get your cats and dogs vaccinated and have been placing posters to that effect all over town.

The Annual Pleasantdale Founders Day Gala is nearly at hand! Expect speeches from Mayor Tuttleford, a skit from the Cub Scout troop, and raffles from several local clubs. There's also a band, and more free food than you can stake a stick at. It promises to be a fun time for all in attendance.

The following characters have been awarded 1 DP for their participation in the holiday post. Please mark it on your character's sheet accordingly.

Chow
Georgio
Fred
Janie
Joseph
Katie
Lynn
Nica
Vito

Pursue a RUMOR in a post, or live session and you never know what you might find out. There may also be some XP/DP awards for those successfullly investigated.

Folks are welcome to start scene posts in the community. The time frame is 'early winter' - post a holiday or new year thread, or just something your character is up to that others might want to be involved in. Each post is considered a separate time space, so you can participate in more than one at once as long as they're not at the exact same time. (No, you can't be two places at midnight on New Year's Eve, say. But you can be in two posts that take place in 'early January'.)

Live chat sessions are currently scheduled weekly on Wednedays, starting this Wednesday Jan 9th. They will start at 7 pm and run until about midnight in the EST time zone. Please convert your time accordingly. Chat can be accessed via server irc.darkmyst.org (rooms - #the_loft for OOC talk and #pleasantdale for gameplay) using your favorite chat client (mIRC, chatzilla, trillian, mibbit, etc). You can also use our handy chat applet at http://www.labarc.com/Charloft/ .

If you need help getting your character sheeted, or with any other step of gameplay, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Best way is to make a post or send a message via the game facebook at http://www.facebook.com/groups/pleasantdalerpg/ , or by dropping into chat.
