The maelstrom can eat the absent PC and spit them back out when they can play again? 🙂
We’re playing sunday (our 3rd session). We have a Child-Thing in the game, so our maelstrom talk has leaned heavily towards these “wolves” the playbook mentions. I hope we delve into that more, esp. since when asked if my Chopper was a wolf, I said yes?
We’re very much not a party in the traditional sense, either. In my other gaming group, there’s this sense that everyone’s going to go along and be a team before too long because that’s how you do things and I keep waiting for that to happen here but the child-thing seriously really wants to eat my character’s leg. It all feels very “premium cable show”, which is cool, but it’s a change for sure.
