I use NPC Designer. It is by far one of the easiest pieces of D&D software to use, accommodates a huge variety of NPC races, classes, levels and templates, and it spits out stats in a variety of formats. NPC Designer Homepage I then import that NPC into my DM Genie application to manage the...

Welcome back, DH! We all need vacations every now and then. And I thought that I was the king of cheese... Job.

Real adventurers enthusiastically court death, but avoid it's kiss. They are experts at foreplay. :p Job.

Ducking into the hallway's nearby water closet, Martin opens the folder to find a single piece of paper with the following notes, all handwritten in small, neat script: M.U. Expedition Members Douglas - Ship's Captain. Returned alive. Hired on as captain for Starkweather-Moore Expedition...

Willard eyed Martin momentarily, then replied, "Yes, rats do tend to be a problem on large ships." After a slight pause, he continued, "And you might check with the ship's quartermaster about those traps", then turned and departed the mess hall. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Job (the...

Professor Moore looked through the floor hatch and down the ladder at Camille, then said, "I must admit that I'm impressed with your tenacity, Miss Bardier, even in the face of our apparent rodent problems. I'm coming down." Moore grabbed hold of the ladder, swung himself over the opening, and...

A heartbeat later, the silhouette of a man of medium build walks to the hatchway and stops, looking in. He then steps into the mess hall and you recognize him. Willard Griffith, Geologist Willard looks at you for a moment, glances down at your jacket, then scans the makeshift office area...

Morpheus, Drowned Hero, and Taokan, I'm not sure if you saw this opening thread for Chapter 4, but here it is. BtMoM Chapter 4 - Departure Job.

Gomez, I'll keep an eye on your Masks game--and I'd actually LOVE to play--but am not sure of my availability to serve as a player. Since my time is limited due to a ton of RL commitments, I am only able to write and post a few times a week as it is, and I feel that I must devote that time to...

Hello Bobitron! Thanks for stopping by! This is almost a reunion of CoC PbP'ers! :cool: The expedition is just about ready to embark! ...er, sort of. Yeah, just about. Job.

Hello Gomez! Thanks for stopping by. It's always nice to see old, insane friends leap from closets! :) At one time, Gomez was one of the premiere Call of Cthulhu Keepers who ran a PbP games on En World, but then RL caught up to him. Darn that RL! Gomez's games were the ones that actually...

I bring in replacement characters at the starting XP of the lowest level active character in the party. This is a rule that I not only apply to deaths, but also to players who'd like to try out a new character class (inactivating their current character). My players seem to appreciate this...

Hey, thanks Gomez, and it's nice to see ya back! :) Job.

I have found D20 CoC very useable and well tailored for a Lovecraftian horror game. It is close enough to D&D V3.X that it helped me to convince my D&D players to give CoC a try, and they had little difficulty understanding the differences. In my own play-by-post game, I've slightly modified...

The file cabinet drawer contains numerous dark green folders of papers, each with a labeled tab at the top, each carefully marked in neat, small handwriting. The folders are in alphabetical order. This particular drawer appears to contain schematics and specifications for the U.S.S...

Hmm. Chapter 1: Expedition Preparations Chapter 4: Departure Next Chapter: Death on the Ice? :p Job.

I won't have much chance to make any in-game posts during this workweek. I am traveling on business, working long hours, and return home this Friday. But Cthulhu is with me on my cab rides, lunchbreaks, and hotel room stays... :) Job.

Journalists are always poking their noses into places where they don't belong... ;) Job.

You officially depart the Amherst Hotel on the evening of September 6th, taking all of your belongings in a cab ride to the ship. Your cab pulls up in front of the pier and you exit into the crisp night air. Even from the street, you can clearly hear the hiss and roar of winches and the cries...

New Thread We've now proceeded far enough along in Chapter 1 that I'm ready to start our next thread of activity in the game. Starkweather and Moore have finished assigning ship's cabins to each particular expedition member and I'll now start a new thread for Chapter four in the game which...
