Call of Cthulhu

I'm interested in running a CoC campaign, specifically modern day with some involvement of Delta Green. I'd like to know if anyone would like to play.

Edit: Several posts, mine included, deleted. Please, if you have nothing positive to say about the game and don't care to play then don't bother posting the negative comments. If you want to play, please say so.

I would be more then willing to play, will this be a d20 CoC game or a 6th Ed?

Post by **B4UTRUST** » Mon May 19, 2008 12:15 am

Probably end up being more of a typical freeform game. The upside to that is that without dice rolls character fatality rates will go down drastically. Now if we can get some more players, great...

I'll work on a sheet and post one sometime this week man.

Post by **B4UTRUST** » Tue May 20, 2008 2:31 am

Actually, I changed my mind. It will be sheet based for the thread. The rampant death level will be decreased some(but hey, it's CoC there will be death) but we will be using stats. Cthulhu 5.6 version, specifically 1990s(though game will take place in the 2000s, prices will be updated accordingly of course)

Here is the character sheet to download and send to me so it can be uploaded to the site.

All stat rolls for the characters need to be made on the board using the board's dice rolling code. The format is the number of dice d number of dice sides +/-modifiers.

Code: Select all

Invalid dice code!

Quick list of stats rolls:
STR, CON, DEX, POW, APP: 3d6
SIZ, INT: 2d6+6 EDU: 3d6+3
SAN: POWx5 Luck: POWx5 Idea: INTx5 Know: EDUx5

Your Damage Bonus is based on STR+SIZ
2-12 -1d6
13-16 -1d4
17-24 0
25-32 +1d4
33-40 +1d6
For every +16 after that, or fraction thereof, it's an additional 1d6.

Remember, you start with no percentiles in Mythos and every point of mythos you gain permanently removes one percentile from your San. So 1% of mythos means you can only ever have a max of 98 points of Sanity.

More campaign information to follow. If anyone else wants to play, speak up and let me know.

I strongly object to anything being deleted, especially because for the reason a mod didn't like it. B4, that behavior is unacceptable.

Haizu, get with me later tonight after work and I'll forward you a copy of the main book for character generation.

Haizu · Post by **Haizu** » Wed May 21, 2008 8:35 pm

I'M ALIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Post by **B4UTRUST** » Thu May 22, 2008 2:45 am

For those still need help, here's the core book that's being used for character creation. Refer to the section titled Building your investigator.

Any further questions let me know.

Hopefully at least one person is wise enough to make an academic type.

Haizu · Post by **Haizu** » Thu May 22, 2008 3:56 pm

What era is this in? I need to know so that I can find out wealth and such. Also, where is this APP attribute the book speaks of? Has this been replaced by CHA?

Haizu · Post by **Haizu** » Thu May 22, 2008 4:13 pm

Nvm about the APP and CHA part, I figured it out.

Post by **B4UTRUST** » Thu May 22, 2008 4:37 pm

Refer to opening post concerning time table. It's modern era so the closest the rules account for is 1990's.

Post by **B4UTRUST** » Fri May 23, 2008 3:50 pm

Let it never be said that playing CoC with military people is never interesting. We at least actually get to list the actual stats for gear

Of course most other people wouldn't know what the fuck a Merlin Softie 3 snugpak was...

Haizu · Post by **Haizu** » Fri May 23, 2008 4:04 pm

Lol, hence the comment about rangerjoes.com. I figured I would be as specific as I could seeing how much detail matters in this game.

Haizu · Post by **Haizu** » Fri May 23, 2008 4:07 pm

So, what do you think about the character as a whole?

Post by **B4UTRUST** » Fri May 23, 2008 4:45 pm

It works. Now you all need a 'bruiser' of sorts. Or at least someone with enough sanity points to sling some mind-rending spells...

Haizu · Post by **Haizu** » Fri May 23, 2008 5:12 pm

Shweet! How many people do we have playing so far?

Jason_Firewalker · Post by **Jason_Firewalker** » Fri May 23, 2008 5:30 pm

Just you and me Haizu

Post by **B4UTRUST** » Fri May 23, 2008 5:41 pm

DS is suppose to draw up a sheet and another guy from work may be joining up. So hopefully 3 or 4 here soon.
