Drinks, conversation, and ... Space Station

I’ll do my best to be there! No promises, but should work out fine I hope!

nope, sorry, won’t be able to make it :frowning: just got a whole load of additional work in for this week, no chance I’ll make it tommorrow, sorry!

All right, folks, here’s the scoop:

I think it’s best if we hold off on The Further Adventures of King Piatnik the Magnificent until such time as everyone can make it. We will meet tomorrow for a game if you’re still interested, but you’ll have to make do with whatever I pull out of my … er, whatever I carefully prepare and rigorously refine over the course of the day.

Work for you? Shall we say something like 7 pm at our usual venue?

Aye. Sounds great!

Sure, the envelope-games are the best. I’m in :smiley:

Have a ton of fun, guys, wish you the best. I’ll have to pass after all. Stuff came up.

A brief epilogue:

Danny became the agency’s head investigator in Mike’s absence, until he was drafted into the air force in World War II. While stationed in England, he met and subsequently married the daughter of a peer of the realm. From 1953 on, Danny held the title of Viscount Exmouth. He never worked another day in his life, and almost never thought back on what happened in the metal-lined room.

When he did, he quickly had his butler pour him a large drink.

Teresa took over detective duties at the agency while all the men were off fighting in Europe. She quickly proved far more capable than any of her male colleagues. After the war, she joined the FBI, where she gained a reputation as a brilliant criminologist. She was later recruited to work on Project Blue Book, investigating UFO sightings.

She always scoffed at claims that aliens might be real.

Spider never could decide whether his memories of what happened were real or not. He spent the next years drinking heavily, and resurfaced as a beat poet in the '50s. His poem “Smoking Cigarettes on Mars” supposedly inspired John Lennon’s “Across the Universe.”

Yoko, of course, said it’s about her.

The entire agency - or rather, what was left of it - attended Doctor Norfolk’s funeral.

It rained.

After arriving in Kansas, Johnny changed his name to avoid disovery, now calling himself Dennis Lynds. He unsuccessfully tried his hand at various pursuits, but later turned his experienes at the Harrick Agency into a successful career as a mystery writer. His first novel, Act of Fear, won an Edgar in 1968, but he is remembered most for his Dan Fortune stories, for which Mike Mulligan provided the inspiration.

He travelled the country extensively, but always avoided returning to New York City.

And what happened to Mike himself after he was led off? Well, that’s a story for another day…

Thanks for playing, guys! I had a blast.

Next up: Part the Second in the Chronicles of King Piatnik the Glorious. Shall we start looking for a date?

You, sir, just gained plus points for pulp mystery references.

While I have little idea what the game about, I heard everyone had a blast. I’m glad everyone had fun.

I had a blast as well !

Also I love the epilogue…but there is a very important part that you left out:
What happened to Charles?! :smiley:

Yeah, how could you forget the Charles-conspiracy? :laughing: What fraction really is behind this interplanetary conflict? Who or rather what is C.H.A.R.L.E.S.?

Great game everyone! That was awesome!

Loved it. The epilogue is just awesome too.
It was also beautiful how it just casually turned into GTA for an hour.
Also: Charles everywhere!

So, do we wanna continue the chronicles of king Piatnik this week?

Yes, I’d very much like to. How about today? Or on Thursday?

Thursday sounds like a good day for more madness.

I should be in.

Same here

Tam will of course be joining us on Thursday as well… :wink:

I shall be there.

Why, thank you! Bonus reference: Around here, Lynds was best known for writing, under the name of William Arden, several books in the Three Investigators series … in which the detectives debunked ghosts, monsters and, yes, aliens.

And actually, we had three blasts. Boom! Boom! KA-BOOM!

All of the above, of course!

See you tomorrow - can’t wait to find out what happens next in the saga of King Piatnik the Great!

Yep, finally see you guys :slight_smile:

@7pm as usually?
