[QUOTE="MerricB, post: 5269818, member: 3586"] A fortnight ago, I ran my first session of Call of Cthulhu (ever!) Alas, the sequel has been postponed a fortnight due to players having other commitments... so on a weekend where GenCon is happening and I'm [i]not[/i] roleplaying, I thought I'd share this short anecdote from the CoC session with you: The group are exploring a museum. They discover a African diorama, of which the centrepieces are missing. Ah, yes - that's because they've been magically animated and are stalking the characters. Exclaiming "A Tiger?! In Africa?!" they look in some surprise at this animated tiger attacking them. One of the players gets the right idea and her character runs for the door. The other two players decide to have their characters stand and fight: one armed with an empty shotgun which he uses as a club, the other armed only with his fists. Fists against magically-animated tiger. OK... The tiger disembowels one of the PCs, the other PC faints as he fails his insanity check. Third PC runs for the police. A policeman returns, sees the bodies of the two PCs and goes to investigate... luckily for the PC who fainted, his character hasn't been killed, allowing the smart PC to drag him away and escape... as the policeman is eviscerated by the tiger. Ah, Call of Cthulhu. What a great game you are. :) Cheers! [/QUOTE]
