Call of Cthulhu d20 Preservation Society

[Gomez]

I will soon be drawing to a (perhaps temporary) close my long-running Lord of the Rings campaign. To fill the void, I have chosen to run a d20 Modern//Past Shadow-Chasers campaign of Victorian-era horror. Think "X-Files, set in 1890" and you're in the right mindset.

While it may not technically be used in a strictly Cthulhu d20 campaign, I will be using my poor, neglected CofCd20 book for spells, some monsters, tomes, and so on.

Sounds very nice!

I have always wanted to do a Victorian age game and I am toying with the idea of doing a Space:1889 game with either d20 Modern/Past or Spycraft 2.0. Though I want to flesh out the world a bit more and maybe add Mythos elements into the setting.

If you ever get the chance to do that, Gomez, let me know. I was toying with the same idea a few years ago, and even got as far as converting the Martian races and the strange Martian creatures to d20 Modern format. I will likely never run a d20 homebrew of Space: 1889, but at least someone would get some use of them.

Just a side note. I can't run straight D20 Cthulhu because I run my games at a game store, and someone else there is already running a BRP Cthulhu game. I don't want to step on his toes. Still wanting to do a horror game, I decided to homebrew a "campaign model" (since that's the D20 Modern term for a "campaign setting" ) using D20 Modern/Past, and elements from Call of Cthulhu D20 and OGL Horror.

Sounds awesome. I myself have been contemplating the same. When you have everything typed up and ready I'd love to get a copy of your campaign notes.

Another Escaped Convict

Hello. My name is Jdeleski and I too am a D20 CoC-aholic. I started with the BRP many moons ago, and still enjoy and respect that ruleset, but find that the D20 version is easier for recruiting players (who are usually familiar with D&D 3.5). I also enjoy the illusion that it creates for my players that they are becoming stronger and perhaps can handle a confrontation with some lesser mythos creatures (*evil snicker*).

I tend to undertake grand projects and campaigns as a Keeper/DM, and twist them in ways that surprise some players who think that they know what is coming next.

I pledge to do my best to preserve the grand tradition of D20 CoC.

Here's a link to the Internet Archive's cache of Wizards' old CoCd20 page:

Delta Green d20 is coming out?

I feel like I'm been asleep for five years and strangely didn't miss anything.

Now I just need a copy of the d20 CoC book.

I feel like I'm been asleep for five years and strangely didn't miss anything. .

I've felt that way my whole life.

I've felt that way my whole life.

Errr, what? Delta Green d20 out yet?

Has anyone here used the appendix to add Cthulhu fun to their D&D campaign? Would be very interested to read how it went.

Yes. In chapter 16 of my story hour, you'll see just how it went down: http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=103252

Two advanced byakhee and a Chosen of Hastur later...and suddenly they learned the fear of a converted Call of Cthulhu adventure! BWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAahem.

You should do it. But instead of just Lovecraft, you should do a series of "Horror in the style of X" pdfs, where X is a recognizable style of horror.

80's style slasher films

That's a great idea!
