I started playing the black watchmen a long time ago then stopped at mission 19. After completing Cyrano Story, I&#039;d really like to get back to bw, but I completely forgot the plot of season one. <br />
Is there a summarry of the plot anywhere? I&#039;m not interested in the puzzles themselves but rather about the lore : what were we searching and what was revealed when the puzzle was solves.]]></content:encoded>

SO, here&#039;s a thread for everyone to post their general location, in order to get into contact with other agents around them!

I opted to not do a lazy copy/paste like I did previously, as that gets a bit messy (<i>sorry about that</i>).<br />

It is a persistent live event leading into Season 3, and a sort of experiment. It will change and evolve to explore a variety of Alternate Reality Game elements in an effort to gather data about the interests of this community.<br />

Story wise, it is about mysterious radio signals that the agency wants to investigate while racing against other factions from The Black Watchmen universe.<br />

No, the game is not subscription based. There is nothing you subscribe to, you buy the game content for a season or special operation and then you own it. The pricing model more accurately reflects those of episodic games such as Telltales’ The Walking Dead, where packages of content are released regularly that build on the main story. Whether you continue to buy additional episodes or seasons...<br />

I came in at the 80% discount level and just finished Season 1. However I remember back when you first did the co-promo in TSW but NOTHING was mentioned about live events or the phone calls etc which would have made it a day 1 purchase for me as that&#039;s content that anyone who comes in later misses out on! you guys should adjust this later.
