[QUOTE="Memnoch3434, post: 5999649, member: 6676476"] Background. The Setting: Chicago, 1930. The great depression has just begun to wreak havoc on daily life. Mobsters and corrupt police litter the city with sin and vice. Alcohol flows more now then it did before it was illegal. Around the characters a complex symphony of death and horror beyond imagining is just about to begin. The game: I'm using a d20 COC System (minus spells). For most of the players, this is their second game ever. A few house rules. 1) No confirmation of criticals (a nat 20 always crits) 2) Critical Failure on a "1" 3) I keep track of sanity and hit points ( the players can ask how they are feeling as far as health, but when it comes to being crazy they always assume they are sane). The Characters(I will change the characters to have their correct names when the players figure them out!): Adriana Brinn- The Reporter Adriana Brinn is a Harvard graduate. Her wealthy family lost over half their assets in the stock market overnight. While dutifully keeping up appearances besides main sitting rooms there is no furniture in their house. They sacrifice all of their assets to keep their large home. Adriana's sister Lisa has come home recently from college. However her return is marked by something dreadfully wrong. She speaks in riddles and mumbles things constantly. Most of the things she says come to fruition in some way, and Adriana benefits greatly from this insanity. The parents locked her away in an insane asylum. Their catholic background claims possession by demons, now only Adriana will see her. Jack Thompson - The White Collar Detective Jack is the son of Bill Thompson the corrupt mayor of Chicago. Most Chicago citizens have never heard of Thompson having any children, up until 8 years ago... Salvatore Nitti - The Mob Heavy Detective Salvatore is quite the ladies man, he knows how to flirt and he knows how to get information. Salvatore has a high success rate in solving mob-related homicides. Oscar Quinn - Chicago M.E. and part time Psychologist Oscar Quinn had a troublesome childhood. In his adolescence during a hunting trip his older brother died tragically. No one saw what actually happened to him, and Oscar had the misfortune of finding his mutilated corpse. His parent's blamed him for the death and he turned to alchohol to drown his sorrows. He went to Miskatonic University and studied medicine, but the scars of his past would haunt him so much that he moved to Chicago. Lance Caine - Private Investigator (Incomplete) War changes men, and Lance Caine is no different. 13 years ago, Lance came back so obsessed with death that he had to bring more people into it, but in a clean an orderly way. Something that would comfort him and help him deal with the past. [/QUOTE]
