Gauging Interest: Modern Day Chicago, CoC 6e

I'm toying around with the idea of running a Call of Cthulhu 6e game set in present day Chicago. The storyline would be borrowed somewhat from the Arkham Horror Card Game that was recently released by Fantasy Flight games.

Drop a note on this thread if you have some interest.

I have no experience in Call of Cthulhu, is there anywhere I can learn about the edition you'll be running?

Chaosium has the 7e quickstart rules. I think it would be easy enough to talk you through the differences during the game for 6e

7e rules

I'd love to get in on a CoC game, but I'd have to use the 7e quickstart too.

Well, I've been wanting to try a modern setting game for a bit, so if you need a spot filler and don't mind the lack of knowledge, I'd gladly fill it but I won't be offended if you'd prefer more experienced players over me.

I found the quickstart for the 6e rules as well. I'd prefer to use those as I don't have 7e.

6e CoC rules

Yay for more Cthulhu! I have two running so not sure I have the sanity to jump in but good luck with it!

I've had good success with 2 or 3 players for CoC games. Hypco and Bull, go ahead and create a character and we'll take a third if someone expresses interest. Please use the 6e rules that I posted above. Remember, modern day Chicago. Pick any profession that you'd like and I'll sort out the introduction based upon what you come up with.

Here's the 6e quickstart rules

Will do!

And do we use the 7e character sheet or custom? Or am I missing the 6e one?

The biggest difference in character sheet seems to be the Stats being % based in 7e and 3d6 in 6e. I'll take a look between the two and see if it will fit the bill. We can also use a mix between the two if need be. Custom would be a pain to have to write out all of the skills.

Where do you want us to roll the stats?

You can roll them in this thread.

Adjusted the permissions of this thread to allow rolling :)

Happy gaming!

Thanks Naatkinson.

Okay, this is as far as I got.

Thank you!

Here's mine, waiting for a little more info about the campaign before I decide on the rest.

Edit: Should be in the library now

Since Arjen isn't the/a GM, BullOctorok, you have to add the character to the library in order for him to see it.
