Call of Cthulhu - Gaston - 09-16-2017
Greetings, comrades of the Omniverse. So, I recently came across the free pdf for Call of Cthulhu and it seems very interesting, like something I'd like to play. There's just one problem. I've got no mic (required for most groups that play online) and no irl friends who like RPGs. So, would anyone be willing to GMÂ or join a text-based (probably over discord) game of Call of Cthulhu? Some things'd be kinda hard to do, like guaranteeing rolls, though we could just have the GM roll for everyone or something.

Sounds really cool. I would consider joining maybe.
RE: Call of Cthulhu - Handsome Jack - 09-16-2017
I'm interested. I have yet to play CoC.
RE: Call of Cthulhu - Gaston - 09-16-2017
Cool. As far as I can tell, this is an optimal party size (3), so all we need is a GM and a day to do it, and we'd be good.
RE: Call of Cthulhu - 13-Jzall - 09-16-2017
I'll play if I can still join.
RE: Call of Cthulhu - Gaston - 09-16-2017
I'd say you're good. Mostly I personally don't think it'd be a good idea to have more than 5, but once we get a GM they can decide how many should.

Yo.
I have heard some cool things about this game but have never played it. I just downloaded the PDF as well.
I am newish to DMing, but I find I like it a lot better than I do playing.
I need time to go over the book and get some ideas, but I'd be down for running a game.

Nice! So, how long would it take you to set up a campaign? Trying to settle on a date, and it'll be useful for deciding. I'm thinking some weekend day, probably a Saturday, in mid-late evening, if that works for everyone.

I'm going away for a week next week, also I'm Australian so try to keep that in mind please.
RE: Call of Cthulhu - Ash - 09-17-2017
@ Gaston - No idea, honestly. I am learning another game right now just to play it. But a month should be enough.
@ 13 - I am aware. We will have to get together with everyone else about time wise.

Ash already knows my character concept. It's a good un.
RE: Call of Cthulhu - Ash - 09-21-2017
I got my hands on a copy of CoC 7th Edition. (Geeze. Seven..)
Anyways, in the first chapter it suggested I read like 13 Novelettes by Lovecraft. It reccomends at least half of these to get in the right state of mind to tell a good thematically correct story. So..
Novelette's - 7,000-17,000 words.
Luckily Tearan linked me to a place where I can find some of his works online, maybe it will have 6-7 of theses!
Just wanted to update you guys~!!
Also, I am thinking Roll20 being the place to do this game. It has a character sheet for CoC - Thanks Cell for showing me that - and we can ensure no tomfoolery with rolls. Because you'll be rolling right on the screen. (Not that I have any reason to believe anyone will cheat.) This shouldn't be a problem for anyone, but let me know if that's false.
Off to find those stories.
RE: Call of Cthulhu - Handsome Jack - 09-21-2017
I approve of all this.
RE: Call of Cthulhu - Gaston - 09-21-2017
So hyped. All this seems fine, yeah.
RE: Call of Cthulhu - Tearen Wover - 09-21-2017
If you need lovecraft tips, ash, I can provide them.
RE: Call of Cthulhu - Ash - 09-29-2017
So I had a really stupid idea..
Want to try having our first game on Halloween?
I SHOULD have it off, but its actually not promised to me. Even so, We will probably have to start kind of late to include 13-Jzall.
And maybe a deadline will give me the motivation to kick my ass back into gear. (Sorry guys, i've been going through some stuff IRL)
Do we like this idea, hate it?
RE: Call of Cthulhu - Handsome Jack - 09-29-2017
I'm good, s'long as it doesn't run too late.
RE: Call of Cthulhu - Gaston - 09-29-2017
Really sorry to ruin the idea but I couldn't do it, at least not late at night. Stuff going on IRL around that time.
RE: Call of Cthulhu - 13-Jzall - 09-30-2017
We could do it over discord and use the chat history
RE: Call of Cthulhu - Handsome Jack - 09-30-2017
Does Discord have dice rolls and integrates character sheets and maps?
