Welcome to phencerx, OurLadyWar, Black Sam, Gris and UrbanBlue! OOC stuff goes here. I know UrbanBlue and PhencerX are still working on your characters so there's no rush, but I wanted to give us a home base to work out of together. Along those lines, I have the rudiments of a first issue planned out, but I don't have a clever witty tag line for this game or for the CAD section. Maybe "The Scorecard" or something? If you all wanted to make suggestions, I am definitely open to that and collaboration in general. And more collaboration: in the recruitment thread I had suggested Back to the Future as sort of an iconic nod to the timey-wimey shenanigans that are messing with the timeline in this game, partly because it's such an iconic movie, but would this clip be more thematic: ? I'll also be adding the following clips to the mysterious TV set which I think are relevant:

And maybe as a nod to "future" broadcasts or music making their way "back" to the 1960's, I dig this cover and the reactions of the show hosts a lot:

You could call the CAD section "The Cloak Room," or somethign hoity-toity like that.

Do you have any pre-game LOE bounties in mind? Instructions for how you like our CAD threads set up (once it's up)? Any extra media you'd like for our characters, videos, that sort of thing?

Sorry, been taking care of some stuff while thinking of something witty to call the CAD space. I'm tentatively going with "Major Pieces", but that's not set in stone, and it technically only connotes the Queen and Rooks, but it seemed more "on point" than simply "game pieces", less demeaning than "pawns", and I think captured the idea that the characters were a part of something bigger. If you guys want to pitch something, let me know. Ditto the game tag. Apologies in advance if, in trying to edit it later if it needs editing and I end up making you repost it somewhere else. I've seen everyone's CAD who has sent one in and given the green light to, so just post it however you think makes sense. I think instead of bounties what I'll do is if you find a snippet from an "iconic" or "classic" TV show, movie, or song that fits thematically with the character or the setting, I'll try to work elements of that thing into your character's arc in the game, sort of similar to what I did with the post in the recruitment thread with the scenes from the various movies or TV shows playing out in the cabin. I know "iconic" and "classic" are kind of nebulous, so as a stand-in, if it's something where you could, say, put "movie about XYZ" or "movie quote about XYZ" into google, and it returns the thing as the top hit, that might be close enough. So, to take an example, you might say "movie quotes about beasts and doomed romances", return this clip, and then there might be references to this scene within the game for one or more of the characters.

So this may be a silly question, but how do you make a space for the CADs to go?

Maybe something cutesy, like "Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy" or "The Circus", "The Company" or a similar kind of codename for operatives? Just thinking out loud here.
