CoC - Chaosium - Secrets of the Middle East [Recruting]

[Strahd_Von_Zarovich]

This is a discussion for those who are interested to run a PbP campaign in the world of Call of Cthulhu under the rules of Chasium. I’ve the 5.6 edition.
Era - 1930.
Place - London -> middle east.

- Online character generator - LINK

- CoC quick start guide by chaosium - LINK

- House rules: Chaosium.

- Abilities: 2d6+6 for all abilities. EDU roll is 3d6+3.

- Stats scores can be determined using invisiblecastle dice roller.
To prevent low scores use the following method:
EDU (Education) roll: 3d6+3 remains
All other abilities: 2d6+6 instead of 3d6.
Sanity and Luck are equal to Power score X 5
Idea is Int score X 5
Know is Education X 5
There are Occupation skills and Non Occupation skills:
EDU X 20 for occupation skills
And INT X 10 for non-occupation skills.

- Rolling the dice: The Players will state their actions, the Game keeper
will choose the appropriate skill and will role the dice.

- Experience check: The keeper will state the checked skill for the
players, when times to upgrade the skill comes, the players will roll
experience using invisible castle. If the 1d100 score is higher then the
current skill value, the player will roll 1d10 and add the amount to the
skill. If the character rolls lower then the current skill value, he failed to
upgrade the skill this time.

- Sanity and Insanity: Try to remain with sanity, for your own sake .
The current sanity is the maximum sanity in the beginning. Maximum
sanity can be raised or decreased. But it’s never go above the value of
(99-Cthulhu mythos skill value.)

- First Aid: if any one got hurt. A successful roll of the first aid skill raise
1d3 hp. Natural healing is 1d3 per week, and 3d3 using hospital.

- Melee – a character can parry ones per round instead of attacking. If
he chooses to attack, he cannot parry.

- A character with 0 magic points or 1 2 HP is unconscious.

I want the party members to know each other. Let’s say friends from college, even high school can be fine, neighborhood is fine also.
The thrilling of those post WWI years of pre WWII years is a good for background scenario. The World recession and the rising of totalitarian powers in Europe and their influence.
Civil war in China and the war between china and Japan. The world’s tallest building - Empire State Building was built on May 3, 1931 in New York City. Air mail service across the Atlantic Ocean began, Radar was invented, Pluto is found! and more …
