Welcome to the list ... sorry I spaced it about not properly
welcoming you.  So, welcome!!

Let me see if I understand this.  We write something and send it to
YOU and not post it directly here.  Somehow this all gets compiled
together, and eventually it gets posted here in its entirety?  Is
this right???

Trying to figure this whole thing out.

You mentioned that you have already have a character description for
your character.  Please share it here with us that are not in the
know.

My character is named Lottie, short for Charlotte.  Her ambition is
to move back east.  Originally from Seattle, she has made it to CW.
She works at the LD Hotel as waitress (or whatever needs to be
done).  She is single, shy, almost afraid; therefore, she doesn't
make many tips at the Dove.  She is down on her luck.  She would like
to avoid prostitution, but there may be no choice.  Lottie remembers
kindnesses by serving something a little special (ex. something extra
or a special treat), but she also remembers rudeness.  Lottie won't
do anything overt per se, but she might spit in your food if you are
really rude to her.

Lottie believes that she is being pursued by relatives in Seattle.

If cornered, Lottie will use whatever weapons are at hand, like a
fork or knife or a frying pan.

As for her figure ... she's a waitress, so nothing fancy.  There was
a girl with a broom that will probably be ok, since Lottie will be
sweeping at the Dove and whatnot.

QUESTION:  WHO is writing this???  Are we writing?  How does
character development take place?

Confused.

This depends if you want to start things in the middle of TOY or at
the end of TOY.  Is it possible to change events that happened at the
end of TOY (THE ROBBERY, MEDICINE, and L&W) if we start in the middle
of TOY?

My personal opinion is that we should start at the end of TOY ... I
know the facts and I know who did what to whom.

So no, Mattie is gone.  Someone could write her back.

> What's Amanda's role(hotel or no.10 saloon)?

Number 10 ... Her ambition is to take the town back PIECE by PIECE.

> What is Austin's role(sheriff or bum)?

On the road to hell.

> Should Luther be sheriff?

No opinion ... I think he could.

> Should Travis Hackett be sheriff(Austin could be his deputy)?

I don't think so ... because in TOY, not only is Mrs. Hackett not
there, but Travis is a convicted felon.  It makes about much sense to
have Robert as sheriff.  (At least Robert would be a timely sheriff.)

> Does Mosby own the hotel?

At the end TOY, Mosby does.

> Is Owen Kerney sheriff?

Nope.

> Does Mrs. Grayson or Mrs. Hackett come back to CW?

They certainly could.

> Does Buffalo Bill return?

Sigh.   He truly doesn't fit in TOY.  Too much color.  LOL

QUESTION:  How long does a game take place?  Will this be continuous,
or will there be an end to this story?

I ask this because it might be interesting to play a game set in TS
or between TS and TOY, or in the middle of TOY.  We could play in
other time periods in the show.

ANOTHER QUESTION:  What about Woodrow and the Hat Creek gang??

Subject: [CurtisWellsRPG] Episode #1

Greetings all potential town residents,

One thing I neglected to mention: there is an Indian village set up
outside of CW. There are near 100 male and 10 female Indians, if
anyone is interested for episodes.Yes, Red Crow is among them.

If you are serious about attempting this unique adventure, there are
matters to be discussed among us.

Is Mattie still at the gunsmith?
What's Amanda's role(hotel or no.10 saloon)?
What is Austin's role(sheriff or bum)?
Should Luther be sheriff?
Should Travis Hackett be sheriff(Austin could be his deputy)?
Does Mosby own the hotel?
Is Owen Kerney sheriff?
Does Mrs. Grayson or Mrs. Hackett come back to CW?
Does Buffalo Bill return?

These people are already in town: Lau in bath house, Harry in his
tent, Mosby's men(Zeke, Pratt,etc.), Josiah, Ike, Dr. Cleese, Unbob,
Mosby, Call, Creel, Mattie, Amanda, Austin, Twyla, Florie, Sadie,
Rosa, Samuel from the livery, Mr. Browley the barber.

These buildings are vacant according to the LD tv episodes. Are you
interested in running one of them?
Dry Goods
Two-Story building next to dry goods
Bank(beware, Hiram Cobb died and 2nd season banker shot)
Mining Supplies(under Doc Cleese's office)
Assay Office
Freight and Transfer
Drug Store
Saloon(between hotel and drug store)
Real Estate
No. 10 saloon( depending on Amanda situation)

I'd be obliged if you could all take a couple of minutes and respond,
including female choice figures. The first episode is ready to begin,
I need to know if your character wants to be in the 1st story. Maybe
like the real show, some new characters are already in town? If
that's the case, let me know. How you came to CW can always be told
later.

Hoping to hear from everyone.     craig

*I don't see Mattie coming back -- she's been there, done that.
*Amanda could work for Mosby running the hotel. Mosby owns the hotel.
*I don't see Austin getting his job back -- not if Mosby had anything
to say about it.
*Luther could be sheriff or still drive the stage  -- I like him on
the stage.
*Dump Travis.
*Owen Kearney died of his wounds after L&W.
*Ida and Mrs. Hackett are long gone.
*Buffalo Bill?  Please!

Deb

Okay, first the female figure of choice for me is the one with long green dress with the yellow in the front and the green bow at the neck.  My character will be arriving in CW.  Her name is Evangeline Creel.  She's the young and pretty niece of Mr. Creel the shopkepper of CW.  She's about 20 years old and is originally from St. Joseph, Missouri where her parents own a hotel.  She's been sent out to live with her uncle because recently she had her heart broken by a young man (more about this at a later date) and her parents thought a change of scenery would be good for her.  She is looking forward to the trip and plans to help take care of the store with her uncle.

Hope I gave enough information.  Having never done an RPG before I'm not sure if I'm doing this right.  Craig if you feel I left something out or anything just let me know.  Thanks for all your hard work Craig.

Hello and thank you to everyone willing to join. John and myself
already have our figure for the game. Our names too. Hope the women
are choosing their personal figure to represent their character.
You'll need a name also. Call can't sit on his bench and say " there
goes what's her name?"
You can always change figures and your character. You may want to
write out someone, to return at a later episode.

We will also have to set the stage for some current residents as to
there standing at the start.
I wish to allow everyone to be involved equally. I've begun an
opening story, not to do it my way, but to share with all. It may be
that there is some initial confusion as to many things. I would only
be trying to get things started.

You can email Darcie, who would then have to let me know. Or, just
email me or this place.

Unbob has notified me that Rufus and Blackie will provide all the
eggs we can eat for a get-together at the hotel to discuss anything.

The Curtis Wells replica town has a new extension. The church is now
up.

Looking forward to hearing from the new girls in town about previous
said things. Thanks, LD friends.    Craig   newt2nd

Glad that you made it over here!

Subject: Re: [CurtisWellsRPG] Hi

Look forward to seeing you in town, John.  We could use a little culture in CW and it appears we have the right man for the job.  Good luck with the Opera House.

 

Tieranny

Hi Everyone.  Excited to see that everyone made it over.  Thanks
Craig and Darcie for all your hard work and effort.

--John  jfddoc@...

I don't know how to repay or thank you for the very impressive work
you've done in displaying this new adventure. I'm in you debt.

  There are two more female figures just acquired. One in long green
dress with yellow square around front of neck, green bow on neck.
Other in cream colored long dress with burgundy streamer thing across
shin area, lots of burgundy buttons down the front,carrying same
colored purse and same color collar thing that looks like a Xbehind
top of back.
Green dress woman with dark brown hair,other with brown hair.

Out of respect and being fair, Darcie should be entitled to have
first choice of her character's figure.
Women with shiny-looking long dresses, those are wrappers from
chocolates, and can easily be changed. I've stockpiled some other
flavors ( I mean colors ), so feel free to ask for what you'd like.

Am also willing to repaint or convert figures to your satisfaction,
if I am able.
My camera is only 1.3 pixels, pictures don't show figures to their
best. Better looking in person.

There are too many male figures to post most likely, so concerning
men, tell me what you're interested in looking like, I will send
pictures of those for your viewing hopefully.

Correction: in writing instructions last night, I was in error as to
the title of a 2nd season episode. Not Thicker Than Blood, as I
believe I wrote. Should be Thicker Than Water(episode#11). Sorry.

Florie and Twyla's figures are also available for anyone. We can
easier let them be another figure.

Also, all buildings are accessible from the roofs, as much of the
stories/episodes are acted out inside the buildings, just like TS and
TOY.
There are many inside items: whiskey bottles, beer mug, tables, piano
in Ambrosia, safe in bank, coffee pot and frying pan in hotel, too
many items to write now. But, one of our new ladies may be inclined
to use the frying pan on some cowboy's head. So, remember that inside
the building is just as important as outside.

If you would like more information or a list of town items, let me
know, and I'll oblige.

Consider this like an eighteen wheeler. Starting to move is slow, but
watch out once we get rolling!
Looking forward to hearing from all of you.   craig   newt2nd

If you are reading this, you have likely watched Lonesome Dove:The
Series, and/or Lonesome Dove:The Outlaw Years. We will carry on as
faithful fans the continuing stories/episodes of Newt Call, Clay
Mosby, and all other residents of Curtis Wells.

  The game is based on a 98 page book of western skirmishs during the
1800's. The episodes will be lived out in the replica town of Curtis
Wells, a scale model representation.
All of the famous citizens of CW are already there ( there are 2
different Mosby's. One in a gray duster, the other in black ).
Each member that joins is allowed to create your own character to
come into CW and become part of a town we would all love to walk in.
There are many male and female figures (two and a half to three
inches tall ) to choose from. Figures can also be converted to meet
your favor.
  You would write a little something to describe how your character
comes to Curtis Wells. Be creative, this is for all of us to enjoy!
We will decide as a group exactly where people are at the start of
the new series. Example: Is Austin sheriff, or not?
We will share in creating situations for each story/episode. Do you
want Willis Logan coming back to CW? Build a story around that. You
will email in your characters objectives and disposition for each
episode. Here is an example, not real, just to get a feel: Deb has
created a character named Hetty Biddle in her fanfiction. Just
pretend that she chooses her as her character. Miss Biddle would come
to CW to be a teacher, with plans to start up a library in town. Her
character would become part of the entire cast of town people.

  For those wishing to carry guns and rifles, there are pages of
actual weapons to choose from ( not real ones, just ones that were
back then ), Obviously, Call and Mosby would be most likely better
shots than men coming to town.
  The game is loosely based on phases, which represent seconds of
time. This adds to the reality of moving figures on the dirt-covered
streets.
No one can lose their character to death from someone else. At the
very worst, there can be serious injuries. There are numerous charts
that tell the severity of a wound. Cw will have gunfire at times,
this can hardly be avoided.

I will collect your actions and words, putting together many small
pieces to make one complete episode. There are always more than one
thing going on per episode ( remember Thicker Than Blood ).Our
characters will run into each other ( Mosby meets a new person at the
hotel ), and there are always possibilities of surprises.
Confusion and chaos can be alot of fun ( Willis Logan's men are
trying to rob the bank. Mosby's men are getting ready to shoot them
down. A group of drunk cowboys ride in hoorahing the town. Chaos
breaks loose ). Just an example. Draw from your western movie
knowledge. There are numerous possibilities to build upon.

Mainly, create a character and name. Pick a figure. If it's a male,
you may need to tell me what your outfit looks like, it might be hard
to put over 100 cowboy figures up for review.
Tell how you come to CW. Look at this as continuing episodes for LD.
Apologies for being long winded. Have faith LD sisters and brothers.

Welcome to the Curtis Wells RPG!  I'm new at being moderator, so bear
with me.  We'll see how this thing works out.

Now, whoever is to play a female role must choose a figure.  Please
check out the photos section:

http://photos.groups.yahoo.com/group/CurtisWellsRPG/lst

Fight amongst yourselves.  Since Beauty and the Beast is my ALL TIME
FAVORITE MOVIE, I would normally choose Belle, but my character is to
be a waitress.  She can't serve meals in fancy duds.  So someone can
have Belle.  WAH!

Anwyay, the details of this game will have to be explained by Craig.
I am completely new to RPGs.

Let's have a good time!
