(CoC) Anyone Play Yet?

Thanks, hellbender!

As Piratecat said "Stop discussing guns, or the thread gets closed". I don't want the thread closed, so please, leave real life guns outside this.

I am itching to play. I just bought the book last PM and started reading (looks great so far). I own a older edition of Chaosium CoC and have read that -along with afair bit of HPL fiction- so I'm up on the concepts. My problem is players.

My regular d20 D&D group a mix of RP-ing women and hack'n'slash guys. It balances pretty well in D&D, but the ladies aren't that into horror RPG and the guys balk at a gameworld where killing the monster isn't the main objective.

May I humbly suggest trying what I did -- mock up your players as the PC's, then drop them in an unpleasant situation. It's simultaneously grounding and liberating. My hard-core D&D gang now thoroughly enjoys the breaks.

You can always check out my Dark*Matter d20 Story Hour for examples.
