James' Party

When the viewpoint character of Mind Games, James Erickson, leaves the cabin where the story begins, six other people accompany him on the trek to Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, the closest town to where they are. Later, they pick up other survivors of the System Apocalypse and the party grows. James is the one who formed the party, so the System refers to it as "James' Party."
