Let's Sperg Kiwi Farms Plays: Call of Cthulhu - Go mad, rip your eyes out, die a horrible and painful death

[Randall Fragg]

Okay, I wanted to run an interest check for a play by post game of the classic pen and paper RPG, Call of Cthulhu. The rules are simple:

If you're interested, respond to the thread. There are five slots available.

For plot purposes, one character should be fairly wealthy (or at least have rich parents s/he can mooch off of and live with).

The time and place is 1925, Outer Boston.

Death is permanent. No sticking in a new character.

I'll link you a copy of the rulebook when you sign up. We'll be using 5th/6th edition

When I update the tread, you have 24 hours to respond. If you do not, your turn is skipped.

We're using a published adventure, so we have a definite "start and finish" point.

And, lastly, we're in Old School Roleplaying Mode here. I get free reign to be an asshole to your characters. I won't pull any "Cthulhu randomly shows up and kills you" BS, but I will actively try to make things hard.

I dont know if you are still interested in this but I am game.

 

[Ravelord]

I'll play, because why the fuck not? Also, inb4 I get killed by a Hound of Tindalos.

 

[Techpriest]

I'm in. Never played CoC but always interested in trying something new

 

[Antipathy]

Never played CoC, always wanted to. I'm in.

 

[Rumpled Foreskin]

If this is still happening I would like a shot at playing. I've nerded out with D&D but never CoC. I want to see how my sanity would hold up.

 

[Sable]

Augh yeah, is it too late for me to join in?

If not I'm cool to wait for someone to die. Is it a different edition to the one we used before?

 

[AA 102]

I'd like to reserve a spot to fill in for when someone dies.

 

[Randall Fragg]

Oh, no, sorry to disappoint but I'm busy with other stuff. Running a D&D 3.5 game at the moment with some other Kiwis. We currently have 7 players, and the absolute max is 8...

I'd be down to join if it wouldn't strain the campaign. Let me know, please.

It's a fairly relaxed dungeon crawler, we meet up on Discord around 5:30 EST on fridays. Our current roster is:

Sofie LaBelf, a CE elvish Fighter.
Gworf the Dwarf, a Dwaven divine Bard.
Harambette, a NE Hadozee Illusionist.
Trogdar, a Neanderthal Barbarian.
Adelf Hiotler, an Elven Wizard.
Nichophous, a Tiefling Monk who gets greased up and homo-erotically wrestles people to death.
And SunBro (forgot his name), a Aasimer Cleric.

If you think you can fill a role in this party, you're welcome to join.

im currently at work, but I'll check my PDFs later on tonight when I get home to throw something together, if that's okay.

ETA: I would be able to make it around 6 on Fridays.

I could maybe set up a CoC game if given two weeks to prepare a game. However I tend to play games set around the late 1800's or 1910's-20's.

 

[Rumpled Foreskin]

Send me a pm if enough people want to play. I just signed on for a D&D campaign but wouldn't mind doing a CoC as well.

 

[Caddchef]

I'll play, can't be worse than FATAL.

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

I could pull out Cathulhu

There's also Sparks of Light, one of the worst written RPG's I've seen in awhile.

 

[Randall Fragg]

I'm good if it's a 1-off. I'm already in a bunch of stuff.

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

I wont mind if players want to play a character that wont be around often. Chicago in the 1920's wasn't a safe time and people were moving around to try and make money. I would prefer a more constant game though. Just keep your character around if he/she survives the first game to return at a later date.

I'll start writing out the concept of the game this weekend and I'll post about it on a new thread. It will mostly be about what's happening in the city. Once there's minimum of four players I'll flesh out the game more.

One thing I ask for is written background of your character (at least a paragraph) and a phobia. If I have to randomize one for someone...Well let's just say you don't want that...

 

[QT 219]

If this is still going on, I'm in. Send a PM.

 

[Anonymus Fluhre]

There are now three people interested in a CoC game and one other person interest in a one shot so I'll start working on the campaign this week. I should be done by Saturday.

If those interest in the game could you send me a background for your character. Campaign is taking place in Chicago in 1923. This way I can add it to the beginning of the campaign.
