I got Cathy's Book for Christmas, and read the entire thing already. It was excellent. Now, a few questions for people who've been working on this for a while. I looked around DoubleTalk Wireless but couldn't figure this out... (spoilering because I'm not too sure what, exactly, is a spoiler for those who haven't read it yet.)

I actually have been saving Cathy's Book ARG stuff to play with a group of people? Anyone interested in forming up a group to explore the ARG story in this book? I think it has been out long enough that maybe we could post here, either with or without spoilers so everyone can play along? What do you think?

PS. I haven't officially announced anything about ARGFest but Sean Stewart will definitely be there and will participate in part of the conference. I'm thinking that a discussion relating to some of the aspects of Cathy's Book is in order along the lines of the topic "The Future of ARGs."

Now I'm doubly sad that I can't go to ARGFest. So, yeah... Let's start talking!

I'd be up for it... I've had mine some time now and haven't read it yet. So like, what kind of reading schedule? a chapter a day or two or something?

Well, the book isn't exactly broken down into chapters... more like sections... so we'd probably have to do something like 20 pages per day. It's really not that hard... I read the entire thing in probably four hours, total, spread out over two days, so it's very possible to say, everyone, have your books read in a week, and everyone can easily do it with an hour a night.

Anyway, I think what they meant by a group to talk about the book was, everyone's had a chance to read it now, so let's start discussing the ARG elements of the book. Am I right?

You won't regret it... the only thing I'm a bit confused about is what, exactly, the ARG for this book is supposed to be doing.

The story in the book wrapped itself up very nicely, but the back cover pretty much says that after all of these events (the ones in the book) happened, something ELSE happened that made Cathy run away (again). Are we supposed to be finding Cathy? If that's the case... then, why does she still log onto myspace once every day, and leave messages on Victor's AIM page (which I still don't get how people found.)

I have a question for anyone who played LAST CALL POKER. The character of Lucky... when was he supposed to have lived? Cause there was a character in Cathy's Book called Lucky... I was just wondering if the two were supposed to be the same person.

Thanks!
