Default Thursday Next WW I: The Eyre Affair- Game On!

Prologue: Characters Wanted!
‘The job recruitment office in Swindon is a dry and dismal place, very rarely used by anyone. Occasionally, however, some sad soul will stick a notice on the wall, hoping someone will come by and take the job or jobs offered. They rarely do, but sometimes someone will come along, see the papers, and accept a job. And it is for that reason that no one has yet knocked it down.’
-MILLON DE FLOSS, The Definitive Guide to Swindon

At the moment, a thin layer of dust is over everything in the office. However, a few dusty notes (displayed below) are hanging on the wall.

I'd like to give this a try, if it's all right that I've never played Werewolf and don't know the first thing about the Thursday Next books.

Okay, we have 19 players. That's about 2/3 of what I'd hoped for, but there's still 8 or 9 more days of recruitment left before it closes. Sign up, people! @V Sorry, that was my inner frustrated DM speaking. Calm down, inner frustrated DM. This is a WW game. This is not that D&D Campaign.
