[QUOTE="Isida Kep'Tukari, post: 1904630, member: 4441"] Arkham, Massachusetts, March 1st, 1932 - Wet, rotten leaves blow through the skeletal trees, over dirty piles of melting snow, and pile up against the wall of Miskatonic University. A respected research facility, endowed with an enormous library containing many unusual and rare tomes, Miskatonic University has one of the finest collections of occult books in the world. Many respected professors lie within its walls, but there are also a few that reside outside of them. Professor Eugene Witherspoon, Doctor of Cults of Africa, was committed to Arkham Asylum over two decades ago. He apparently set fire to the old asylum after visiting a doctor, and killing him. Despite his current situation, his books on cults and their odd rituals remain required reading amongst those who wish to follow in his line of work. Also, the Professor was known for his charity work, particularly amongst the orphans and poor children of the area. He is remembered fondly, but most people rather pretend that he's dead, instead of mentioning his shameful downfall. But despite two decades of incarceration and numerous attempts to correct his delusional thinking, Eugene continues his daily rants and raves about incomprehensible things. But in the past week he has become more lucid, and has suddenly asked for the company of several friends. Those are you. Some may be former colleagues or students. Others may be grown-up orphans or poor children that he helped. A few may be distant relatives. Some may even been doctors, nurses, or orderlies that have cared for him over the years. But you have one thing in common, the request of an insane man. ~~~ This will be a Call of Cthulhu game, d20, set in the date and time above. From Joshua Dyle's original thread, here are those that expressed interest and have a reserved spot.
