[QUOTE="Insight, post: 5441961, member: 11437"] [size=4][b][u]CHARACTER CREATION[/u][/b][/size] "The Silent Partner" will use the Call of Cthulhu 6th edition rules. Prior Chaosium editions of CoC are similar to this one, so you can feel free to use those and I'll make whatever minor adjustments need to be made to them. When coming up with a character concept, remember that this game is set in the 1920s in early Hollywood. Your character does not have to be from California (most weren't) or even from the United States, but since your characters will start in Hollywood in 1929, make sure that your character concept fits this general idea. Any one of the following jobs would make sense for a character concept: Creative Type (Actor, Director, Writer, Stylist, Artist, etc) Crew (Sound Guy, Lighting Guy, Grip, Food Services, Location Scout, Cameraman, etc) Finance/Legal (Investor, Producer, Lawyer, Accountant, Banker, etc) Journalist, Film Critic, or Photographer Studio Personnel (Secretary, Security, Janitor, Facilities, Procurement, Driver, etc) So, basically, come up with your basic character idea and what purpose your character has in Hollywood. We'll work out the game mechanics stuff from there. [/QUOTE]
