ARKHAM - City of Legend
This is a classic-era (1920s) Call of Cthulhu adventure, set in the legend-haunted fictional city of Arkham, Massachusetts. The characters will start with no knowledge of the Cthulhu Mythos. It helps if the characters already know each other, and if at least one of them is an academic, a librarian or antiquarian.
-NUMBER OF PLAYERS:
I am looking for a small dedicated group of THREE PLAYERS, which I find the optimal number to run my games in play-by-post. I will select three players out of those who register their interest in the Recruitment Thread (NOT on a first-come, first-serve basis).
-POST FREQUENCY:
once per day would be ideal, to keep the story moving. I can post most days, and at the weekend.
-GAME DURATION:
this is a one-off adventure, but who knows: with the right group, it could lead to other stories...
-PLAYER REQUIREMENTS:
this is a Call of Cthulhu 7th edition game, but no previous knowledge of the game is necessary (and you don't need to own any books to play, I will share relevant rule sections). Open to anybody, all I ask is that you are sure to be able to commit to the posting frequency explained above, and that you are respectful of others. We're here to have fun.
-WHAT TO EXPECT:
this is a horror game, in the Lovecraftian canon. Characters are not superheroes, and the horrors they will face are often overwhelmingly dangerous and deadly. Direct confrontation will result in characters going insane or dying. The focus is on investigating a mystery. My GMing style is based on storytelling above rules, and I like to enrich a story with images to help set a mood.
-HOW TO APPLY:
there is a thread in the Games Tavern, register your interest there, tell me how well you know your Lovecraft / Cthulhu Mythos, and pitch me your idea for a character. It is NOT a first come, first-serve game, I'd like to select three players from all applicants.
