Yeah, with so many GOOs I have no idea how to do this little bit.

Ok, choose 3 GOOs and PM them to me. And then we'll see how badly screwed we are.

THE WINNER IS


Cthulhu only had two votes compared to Hastur's four.

8 clue tokens instead of 5 to seal gates?

UGH!

At least you're playing Patrice! You will be our designated clue-fetcher!

Hastur is not even close to the worst GOO, so I'm kinda relieved.

Yeah, considering I nominated Quachil Uttaus, Eihort and Atlach-Nacha, it could have been a lot worse.

Sarc, where do you want Ursula to start?

There are actually two versions of Hastur; I went with the original one.

The 8 clue tokens is a pain in the ass but otherwise it's not too horrible.

I'll start at the Science Building, if no one else is. May as well pick up an extra clue right off the bat.

Ok, I am, at the moment, putting all the information together and I'm trying to find a more elegant way to display all the player stats. I'm hoping to complete all the info in the next few days so we can start the game.

Ok, I've created a wiki that will list everyone's character and what items they'll have.

Check it out and let me know if there's anything I should add.

I'm not a player, so you're welcome to ignore me—but that Wikidot style doesn't play well with minimum font-sizes (I'm legally blind), and zooming in/out doesn't fix it.

(I'd like to make a few edits for presentation purposes to the wiki itself, but that, too, is your call.)

Could you elaborate? I only started the wiki up this morning during work hours and haven't really fine tuned it yet.

The content does show up—after the end of the menu. Using another Wikidot style will fix it, though—if you'd like a list of styles which will work, I can do that.

Themes which work:
  • Basic
  • Cappucino
  • Co
  • Flower Blossom
  • Gila
  • Localize
  • Shiny
  • Webbish
If you don't like the colours on any of those, take the one closest in general appearance to what you'd like and I can write some CSS for it (which you can load onto a theme via the Custom Themes page) to give it a more Arkham Horror-like appearance.

Alright, if everyone could take a gander at Roland Banks's wiki page and tell me what you think.

That is also his starting gear.

I like the setup. It's easy to read and keep track of information, although it looks like a lot of the numbers are not matching up with his actual stats.

You're crazy. I don't know what you're talking about. I just realized that I left off special abilities.
