[QUOTE="fenzer, post: 306132, member: 506"] First off I want to let all those who thought this a good idea - Horacio - know that I bear no resonsibility for this story hour. Any correct grammer, spelling, or syntax is purely coincidental and not the resonsbility of the author. Anyway, here it is for anyone interested. I put together a quick one time Call of Cthulu adventure using my friends as lab rats. I had them roll out themselves and play themselves in this crazy idea I had. [B]The Cast of Characters[/B] Jen. The loving, pregnant Jen (in real life, not the game. I'm not that heartless. :p ) Young, attractive, and full of life. She is attending BYU but working the summer in Salt Lake City. She met Josh at BYU and James through Josh. James. The tall tech. This guy is a whiz with a computer (no kidding, he really is.) and 6 foot 7 to boot. He's a student at The University of Utah majoring in computer science. He and Josh have been friends since high school. Josh. Football player, outdoor survivalist. Calm and unassuming, Josh is the best kind of friend. Always willing to lend a hand and one that would put his life on the line for you. The names are the same but the backgrouds have been changed to protect the innocent. These are my friends in the real world and people I love and respect. We all had a good time and I hope you do to.
