You notice a look pass between Jackson and Glenmac as you mention the Roost. Jackson raising an eyebrow quizzically, Glenmac shaking his head almost imperceptibly. "Right now our focus is more on Danford Hall. There have been too many incidences of late. Maybe if we get a few more documented we...

The next few weeks of the semester pass pretty much without incident. At first the talk was all about the fire in The Roost, but in time it begins to die down as the student body get back to what it does best, dating, partying, drinking, sports, oh, and some studying. It seems almost a dream that su...

Dan fights his way to the main doors. The crush here is terrible. The heat, the noise, the crush of bodies, it's a nightmare the corridor stinks of fear, and people are starting to get hysterical. "It was a wonder that there hadn't been more casualties already" , he thought to himself. He ...

Eugene barelled into office Tyson seemingly catching him off guard and winding him.

Tyson pivots slightly on the spot, taking the blow as a glancing strike to his hip, robbing it of most of its force.

Renata watched the fubol star slink away, a little sour that the coach had interrupted things.

Zoe subtly and quietly grabs Renatta's hand and tugs on it. "leave him .........let's get out of here" . She then gives Eugene a pleading look. A middle aged man in green slacks and a sports jacket comes over to where you are gathered. "Now Griff, we don't want any trouble here tonig...

You can just tap where it says dice at the top of the editing window. This puts the bbcode in for you, you just put your dice code in between the tags.

From a role-play point of view, as a GM I like to have players who interact with each other, and NPC's. This is after all a social hobby.

Don't really want to tread on the toes of our existing driver @Pender Lumkiss, so I'm thinking I should back away from the driver/rigger concept I'd been working on.
