A Land to Call Their Own Discussion Thread - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Hullo all...

Dreadfully sorry about sort of neglecting the RPG and Discussion Thread. I realize I should've at least posted a save for Kal telling his kids about the baby-sitting. Thank you, ArwenBaggins, for taking that intiative. I will have an RPG post up tomorrow, most likely. I've just been swamped lately. That will all end this weekend.

Memory - I agree...beautiful post, and check your PMs.

Kransha - Thanks for checking in. I hope everything works out for the best.

Fordim - Thanks for the recipe! I just may give it a try...mmm.

Everyone - I have bit of an announcement. I think Rutslegolas may be having some serious computer problems, so we are going to carry Henry Chubb. Anyone can use him, as long as he's in character, and I will do any and all posts that need to be written in his sole point of view. If you have any questions about how to work with him or how something will be carried out, post them here or send me a PM and we'll work it out.

Thanks, everyone! Keep up the great work.

Ok, I have a Kal post up. Kalimac is irritated by Crispin, and thus decided to vent be declaring his authority to May and Henry! Also, more money for them (heavens, those two are going to be so rich by the end of this RPG). Well, if my post somehow doesn't agree with something, just say so.

Kransha:

Wonderful posts about how Kal feels about his very angry son! There's gonna have to be some struggling on Henry/May's part to get Crispin to cooroperate....

Maybe an adventure?

I won't be able to post till Sunday, but I plan to do it then.

I did have a question....does Kalimac's wife know he is paying the kids? If not, I could casually thank her for that, which may be a bit of a surprise for her! I'm not sure whether she will like that.

Arestavana, Kransha.....let me know if I should do this.

Otherwise, I'm having trouble getting a hook in the storyline at this point. Does anyone have a suggestion?

Kransha - I really enjoyed your post...great job!

Regin - If the Elsa scene doesn't work, you sould always bring Henry and May in for breakfast and away from the generous Mr. Whitfoot.

I used Henry to tie the actions of May and Kal, so Kransha and Memory, please let me know if anything needs to be changed. I didn't move the action very far, because I don't feel comfortable manipulating both characters without know your intentions, but I felt like Henry needed to respond to May and react to Kal.

I suppose after the Chubbs have their well-made breakfast, I will bring Marcho back with lumber and set the travelers back on the road.

Kransha · 03-26-2004, 09:49 PM

Well, thank you all for that.

On the subject of Elsa's knowing about the payment: I was actual careful not to have Kal mention that to her, since he was probably nervous about telling her, since it was obvious that she didn't fully agree with the idea anyway. The plan of having the knowledge sprung upon her would certainly create a lot of tension.

I find that, to have more fun RPing, it is always best to have a lot of tension when something horrible is about to happen. I know nothing of Child's disaster plans, but...well, you get the idea, don't you?
