Title: Call of Cthulu
Post by: Excal on August 18, 2010, 09:41:30 PM
Since this seems to be the Forum Games Board, figure I'd post this here.

A while back I got my hands on an adventure for the Call of Cthulu system, and which just happens to contain enough rules for me to run the thing.  Now, my local group doesn't seem interested in it, but I figure you guys might be game.  System looks to be rules light, with a percentage system for resolving skills.

If there's interest, I'll be running it in IRC with the folks who sign up.
Date is to be determined, but I'm flexible.  Though, I will have a preference for Mon-Thu.

Finally, characters are pre-genned.  So, I'll list the names and professions and then at game time, you'll get the character sheet along with a little blurb that the adventure comes with.  And there are only five characters.

Investigators

1. Sam McCoy (41): Private Investigator
2. Jenny mcMillan (30): Journalist
3. Prof. Victor Stanton (56): Prof. of Anthropology, Miskatonic U
4. Floyd Irwin (28): Criminal
5. Clive Lanchester (35): Antiquarian

For those wondering, this won't be a weekly thing, this'll be a one shot.  Which means that there'll be one or two sessions.

Alright, that's four of you.  Room for one want to suggest a) days that work, and b) which character you guys want.

I'm good with any character and any time except late night Thursdays.

Monday and Tuesday nights are bad.

So we're looking at a Wenesday then, are we?

If push comes to shove, Saturday night (around 7PM Pacific) and certain Fridays can also work.

Hmmm. Call me in. I'll put forward that Thursday nights are impossible for me due to Persona RP, though.

Wednesday and Saturday both work for me.

Those are fine with me.

I'll need to see what works for me, honestly, so you may want to consider a secondary player in case no times work for me. Like I'm expecting.

If somebody wants to jump in as a back up player, that'd be fine, or I could just do an interest call when the time comes, or even just run with four players.  That said, I'm not in a huge rush, and we can find a group date that is best for you and see how things are looking when it hits.

A friend of mine is interested in joining up, but he has somewhat weird time constraints.  Sunday/Monday/Tuesday basically, and Wednesday only prior to 4:00 (which would rule me, and a lot of others, out).

Alright guys, how does this Saturday at 7PM, Pacific sound?
Title: Re: Call of Cthulu
Post by: Shale on August 23, 2010, 10:14:25 PM
Should be okay. I'm moving this weekend, but Saturday is a light day and 10PM eastern is late enough hat I shouldn't be busy with it then. I will give warning if I might not have Internet.

Saturday anytime works for me.

sounds fine.

Post by: SnowFire on August 24, 2010, 04:10:31 AM
Works for me too, though obviously said friend will almost certainly have to bow out.  But four will be enough.

Andy is still random.  So there might be five, but yeah.  So long as I've got four, not going to be religious about it.

How does five-person Mafia even work? ???

This isn't Mafia, it's a tabletop game IIRC.

Lynch someone, LYLO next Day.

Alternatively, one person needs to lynch a specific person, the others need to lynch HIM. You'll have three days then.

It's a tabletop RPG where everybody goes insane and dies, and then the world ends. The fun is in how!

Looks like I will not be able to do this. Sorry, kids. ;_;

I am honestly not sure if I'll be around tonight. I'll do my best to be back by then, but if I'm not, go on without me (or just assume I'm there but not talking until I arrive)
