“The Weaver-West Papers” is a short story meant to highlight the impact and shadows of a noir-style story for use with Mage Noir. Built in the style of a high-drama short story, this SAS should drag the characters along through the shadowy streets of the 1940s urban landscape at breakneck speeds with a terrible choice ahead of them and the dead and dying behind them.

The story itself is broken into four major scenes with a fifth scene available. Each scene has a focused spotlight for one character in the Lamppost Cabal. While any character can be involved in every scene, each scene a character will have a chance to use their abilities to directly affect the flow of the story.

Due to the fact the characters are pre-made to give those who might find this Ad later than others a fair chance at playing each applicant will write a 3 paragraph sample about the character they have chosen to play. This short story will be up to the player but must be something interesting or important to the character. An example would be Nightingale having a singing performance in Chats with a magical twist at the end.

Closing Date: This Ad will close 2 weeks after it started, on 9/29/2012.

Maximum Players: 5

Who I am: I've been GM/ST/DMing for the past several years on various chats and I just don't have that kind of time anymore to dedicate to a chat so I've moved to Play by Post as my primary location of enjoying my hobby. My preferred game systems are Star Wars Saga Edition and World of Darkness(old and new).

Posting Requirements: Twice a week minimum. I don't demand a post every day but several times a week is expected unless RL or emergencies interference occurs. Please communicate with me if you have the time so I know what is going on. If you go longer than 2 weeks with no notice and absence you will be NPC'd and when convenient written out of the story if the absence continues. This game won't freeze up because one individual stops posting.

Expectations: This game will run till the end of the SAS adventure. After that myself and the players will discuss running more adventures or calling it quits. However my goal is to have the adventure completed within a year of the game starting.
