[CLOSED] - The Call of Cthulhu

dontlookatthisok20 Minutes Ago

🦑 The Game System: Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition by Chaosium.

🦑 The Pitch: Beacon Island went dark no more than 15 minutes ago. Treacherous waters, coupled with being plunged into sudden darkness, have the player characters abandoning ship and heading for dry land.

🦑 Adult Themes or Imagery: It’ll be the classic Call of Cthulhu routine. Though this short module is less gruesome than some others on offer; at least it is ‘as written’.

🦑 Characters: It’s a 1920s module, so suitable characters will be required. You don’t need to be connected as a group for this to work, but it can be discussed if that’s something that’s interesting to people.

🦑 Game Length & Posting Rate: It’s a short, tiny little module. I doubt it’ll take very long at all. Further modules could be an option, if everyone is on board. Posting rate is once a day.

🦑 Player Experience and Number: Anyone can feel free to apply. Experience isn’t a problem as this module is specifically intended to be an introduction to the game, in any case.

Looking for between 3 to 5 players.

🦑 How to Apply: Comment below.

I highly recommend KCC as a Call of Cthulhu GM. Jump in quickly and enjoy!

Would gladly join in some 1920s CoC fun, but I have ran this scenario already. It's good fun!

A short, tiny little module is very tempting... just worried I may be overextending again :D

I played in this particular adventure over the winter. It was great fun and as Qralloq said, KCC comes highly recommended.

You just couldn't help it could you?

KCC for GM?

This is just an Interest Check, not formal Recruitment, is that right?

I think it is a recruitment thread

Hm, I see that in his words, but the [IC] confuses Harrigan. So many things confuse Harrigan...

[IC] confuses me often because some people use it in thread titles to mean Interest Check and some for In Character.

But I see recruitment threads be called interest checks regularly

I think it’s an interest check for being recruited?

I see it as

More Cthulhu = More goodness

That sounds like something a cultist would say

This is the actual secret recruitment thread for the Kids on Brooms game, right KCC?

I see there's an island with a lighthouse and then some first years being escorted to the island. (;

Would explain my confusion. I usually use interest check threads to pitch several ideas and gauge interest. I... might be pitching one today. I'd love to play here in KCC's game, but I bet he gets more than enough interest.

I was trying to be hip and trendy by using [IC] as that’s what the cool cats seem to be doing these days on here!

Not sure if any of the above comments are confirmed expressions of interest though.

So plenty of space!

I always have an interest in CoC so I volunteer.

I have been wanting to give CoC a try for a bit now. This one-shot sounds perfect, consider me another volunteer if you need more.

I’ve got @nezzeraj, and @DSquid as victims participants!

Can I put you down for a tiny, little module, @CESN?

"Come on kid. Just one tiny little module. All the cool kids are doing it."

If it's a tiny module, as you say, I'm up for giving CoC another try :)
I've played it once, many years ago. I have to admit, I didn't really have a good time, but that was due to the way the scenario went. I've seen it being played in a few YouTube videos and it looked more fun than my experience.

Is there any room for humor in your games?

If all the kids are doing it then must be ok right?
I’ll add another game now… and regret later 😆

Also… there will be cats right?

Glad to hear it! Added!

@TheGenerator , when you say humor, what kind of thing are you aiming for? Not opposed to the concept, of course. Just curious what you mean.

Edit: Yes, there can be… ‘cats’.

Just the occasional bad pun, if such an opportunity presents itself. Not trying to make it a comedy, cause that's not very CoC ;)

I think we can facilitate that!

Alright, all. Thanks for the expressions of interest! I think we’ve got the crew filled!

i'm in. if still slot available

I have really enjoyed CoC when I have got a game, I would be interested in playing if you end up recruiting :)

Hey there!

I've run a CoC adventure on another forum and solo'd a lot of Chaosium 'Alone Against...' but only done one session as a player. I'm really interested in this, I'm not in any other games and if accepted won't commit myself to anything until this scenario ends. I'll await developments and keep my fingers crossed!

No wonder you're a bored gamer, only committing to one game at a time 😝

Hah, I see where you're coming from! :-)

No, it's just that dealing with two autistic kids my gaming time is limited, and real life intervenes more for me than a lot of gamers. Live play is pretty much out after I had to cancel a long running D&D game I was GM'ing and I don't want to let people down again, so I'm being very cautious about what I commit to.

It's a good approach and I was only joking. Play in whatever number of games works best for you

let me in if you have room!
wait...
was that me?
or
the voice...
the one in my head
that won't leave me be...

Familiar with the CoC rules through podcasts, but have never played it. Definitely interested in joining a short module to get a feel for it.
