OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!

So, Call of Cthulhu got brought up awhile ago, and it seems like a few people were interested in playing, so I'm considering running a game. Anyone interested?

    Well, I do like Lovecraftian horror.

    Can I be an inquisitor for the Vatican?

    Ooh, I'll be a protestant! :D


    Won't this be fun, Malk?

    But you never had any to begin with.

    Hmm, could be interesting.

  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.

    Can I get a briefing on rules and whatnot? Or a rulebook, if that works.

    Also, what time period? Modern? Twenties? Gaslight?

    I've never participated in one of these before.


     


    It might be fun.

    Ok, wow, got sone interest.



    Time period is definitely the first thing to establish. What are people's preferences there?
  • MalkavianMalkavian
    MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!
    I'd prefer twenties or Victorian.

    While the predictable answer would obviously be medieval, a lot of Lovecraft's stories are based on academia gone wrong, so your options would be heavily limited, right down to making all the PCs monks, scholarly nobles or a combination of the two. Which might be cool, but still with a lot of limitation. 


    Personally, I'd go for any time period from about the 1600s to the early 1900s. I don't think Lovecraft is hugely compatible with modern technology. It relies on a combination of manual tech and a ready supply of academic literature.

    What the crazy vampire said.

    Tell that to CthulhuTech. :P

  • MadassAlexMadassAlex

    If I'm not mistaken, CthulhuTech is quite a bit about harnessing the power of all the gribbly mean things, which is essentially a complete reversal of everything Lovecraft's own stories stand for.

    The only things that really actively harness them are the Tagers, and that's more a case of "Deal that ends with you being eaten by a parasitic organism."

    I'd be very interested, but you've already got a bunch of people and stuff keeps getting in the way of the one other RP I'm in, so.

    So, 20s and Victorian are what I'm mainly hearing so far. Anyone prefer one over the other, or something else entirely, or anything?



    Btw, I'm stuck using my phone until Sunday, so I won't be posting too frequently right now.

    FYI people, you might want to post your availability/scheduling preferences.  From my (albeit limited) experience this seems to be the biggest problem with running a game online.

    ^Good advice. We can work something out once we know who wants to play and stuff.

    Victorian



    And :D I found Lovecraft's actual works boring, but the stuff based on it is always awesome

    You are dead to me. You hear me? DEAD.

    Bleh, what are you, a peasant? Why don't you just BURN HIM TO THE GROUND AND SNORT THE ASHES AS PUNISHMENT IN THE NAME OF THY LORD, CTHULHU like a normal and sane person would

    Yo yo yo. Normally I'd have to decline, but I have the rulebook, and my last swim meet is Tuesday, so I'm much freer from now on. If there's room, of course.
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    Victorian seems to be winning thus far, unless someone has some objection.



    Not sure what capacity will be...let's see how many people have expressed interest...



    Alex

    Malk

    Saigyouji

    Juan

    Delta

    Myrm

    Ica

    Everest



    That's...8. That's a lot, but I don't want people dropping out just over size, and I don't want people to be discouraged from expressing an interest either.



    Could I get a breakdown of who has and hasn't played before?
  • MillerCrossMillerCross
    You can change. You can.

    I haven't and my interest is minimum at best, for what it's worth. 

  • IcalasariIcalasari

    I haven't played before either



    And you could split it into two campaign groups if the problem is merely that 8 is too large a party
  • ClockworkUniverseClockworkUniverse
    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    I was about to say one big campaign would be easier, but I just thought of something really interesting I could do with two if I had enough interest...
  • IcalasariIcalasari

    Does it involve each group being made to meet monsters and such, only for it to be revealed later that the groups were seeing each other and we all went mad?
  • NovaNova
    If you must eat a phoenix, boil it, do not roast it. This only encourages their mischievous habits.

    If you need more interest, I guess I have no life enough >_>


    then again, timezones, so I guess I'll wait to say I'm interested until you see whether there's a group my timezone wouldn't conflict with.
