Can I be the Wookiee?
Nev the Deranged
First Post
I pretty much already submitted mine. Allow me to tease it out from my original post:
Primitive, for up to 6 players.
Primitive is a game of prehistoric tribal cooperation, discovery, and mayhem. Players will become members of a small clan of early humans who walk (mostly) upright, and exhibit a high degree of curiosity, intelligence, and problem solving ability. There's just one small detail.
They haven't discovered language yet.
Characters in Primitive can't speak AT ALL. And neither can the players (except to the GM). Gestures, grunts, and sketches are your only tools for communication among the tribe. Can you help each other survive the harsh realities of day to day prehistory despite your lack of language?
Players will need to bring 2 or 3 distinct and matching tokens to represent themselves on the map and the initiative queue. Shiny rocks, bits of bone, small shells, or other natural or "found" items are best, preferably around the size of standard gaming bead counters, or a little larger. Everything else will be provided.
Please note that while Primitive certainly could be played as a cartoonish, clubs and dinosaurs romp, this particular game will be about exploration, discovery, and the struggle to survive in an unforgiving environment.

Here's my game description, Buzz.
Slot 1 Game 7: "I Only Have Eyes For You...And You...And You..."
Call of Cthulhu BRP System
Every city can be a little weird, and Chicago is certainly no exception. As a member of the city's proud police force, you've certainly dealt with more odd events than most folks. Still, your new promotion was to a department that was rumored to deal with the some of the biggest, strangest crimes in the city: InCASE, the Investigations of Chicago Area Special Events.
Your first day is here, and you honestly don't know what to expect. It certainly wasn't a traffic accident. Yet here you are, taking statments at a single car crash while the rest of the team works the site. Three deaths are nothing to sneeze at, but the deaths aren't what interest you. Everyone agrees the truck veered into the construction area and smashed into the concrete divider. What no one can explain is why two of the stiffs were tied up in the back of the truck. Some kind of gang hit? A kidnapping gone wrong? Once the doc unties the bodies, maybe you can get some answers...
Join a modern day romp on the tough streets of Chicago in the classic Call of Cthulhu system. Pre-gens will be provided, multiple characters available if need be. Experience not needed, open minds appreciated.
Open to 6 players.
