[QUOTE="daTim, post: 1470724, member: 1797"] Our group got tired of the percieved power creep in 3.5 and we play CoC lots now, its the anti-power game heh. We enjoy the D20 version more in the long run because it does give you something to look foward to besides permenant insanity (which is still very possible in D20). My character actually made it to level 4 somehow last weekend. After about 4 hours of insanely lucky rolls and killing 15 and 2 deep ones people in a gun shoot out breaking one of my friends out of jail, then getting chased through the streets in a stolen Model T, crashing it, getting chased on foot through a swamp and escaping... all with 1 hp left, and low sanity...I have never been so happy to simply be alive. It was one of the funnest experiences for our whole group in a long time even though most of them got gunned down. Oh yea, to answer the question, we play a somewhat pulp version in that we work for Arkham and go out to investigate things for a certain professor who is a member of a secret orginaztaion. Most of our characters are either in law enforcement anyway, or work for the school. In all of our playing time the most dangerous mythos creature we have seen are deep ones. How often do you see an elder god after all. That sort of thing is always in the perephrials. If I even thought a cthulhu mythos monster was in the area I wouldnt go there lol. Having to use your weapons is usually suicide. [/QUOTE]
