CoC is a great game to teach and encourage role-playing. As a general rule, combat in Cthulhu is very bad - if it's against a mythos creature it means death (often). CoC's fun is the role playing. One trigger we can use as DM's is to remind players that role-playing through scenarios instead of...

Overall the system is good - a definite improvement. I do question letting DMs insert non-consumable magic items. It's not from a crazy powerful list so it won't be game breaking but I can see doing without it. The extra XP for players for experienced DM's is a great idea. That's something I...

I do have to disagree with a previous poster about objecting to the system. Many DM's don't often get a chance to play. When we do, it's nice to have the option to do something other than a level 1 character - especially if there is an interesting higher level adventure. I added up what I've...

Kalani - great catch on how to apply the DM rewards certificate. I didn't realize that it could only be done for a character starting in that season. Thank you for clarifying it! Fred

Is this still accurate for Planar Ally limits? Fred

The character did 1 level of Cleric for a combination of role-play reasons and to use a necklace of prayer beads he earned. The stats and feats, etc. are accurate. Remember that fighters get extra feats/stat bumps at 6th level (thus 1 feat at 1st, stat at 4th, stat at 6th (now a 20), feat at...

Before anyone critiques this as being math-geek heavy - that's the audience I am hoping reviews this to correct my maths and show me what I am missing. I have a level 15 AL character that is focused on being an archer. In a recent convention, I sat with a player who built a similar concept but...

Long-standing D&D group looking for 1-2 new players. We're starting a new campaign in the coming weeks and will have 1 or 2 open seats. The game is casual but challenging with a good mix of role play and strategy. The games are normally on Thursdays but we could consider Tuesdays as an...
