[UA] Online game ideas required

[Simon Brake]

Hmmm. That's the sort of vendetta I was originally imagining. Because of the manner in which I'm playing this, the characters will probably be invited to view the bodies individually, but it'll soon become apparent that something very wrong is going on.

I'm waiting until Friday 13th to start the game proper - so far only one person has said they'll give it a shot, so it may end up as a one-player game. I'm intrigued to see what event they dream up that unites them, and individually what items they might receive, but the Mordax would certainly work with most combinations.

thanks!
