Cthulhu by Gaslight d20: It's Alive!!

Two things:

One, signing up for alternate status.

Two, that link you posted to CoC rules is completely illegal, looks like to me. You should delete the link. Just having a link there makes Morrus liable should WotC decide to go after that guy. And we don't want trouble for Morrus.

CoC is NOT Open Content, as far as I know. You can't just post the rules all willy-nilly.

I thought that was a pretty fishy link too. I will get rid of it right away.


PS Barsoomcore, your in as a alternate! I sure hope you can get in. I would love to have you as a player!

Sherlock,

just a short question regarding skill selection:

Since "Archeaology" as a discipline doesn't really exist yet, "Knowledge: History" covers actual knowledge of ancient times, too, or?

Archaeology was alive and well during the 19th century.

Example

During the late 1800s German-born American archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann conducted expeditions in Greece and Asia Minor, near the coasts of the Aegean Sea. Schliemann first excavated in Hissarlik, in what is now Turkey, revealing what he claimed were several distinct periods of the great city of Troy, which is described in the Iliad, an epic tale by Homer. Schliemann also excavated in Mycenae, Greece, searching for the tomb of the Greek leader Agamemnon, who campaigned against Troy in the Trojan War. Schliemann conducted quick excavations, destroyed large portions of his sites, which earned him the suspicion and anger of the Ottoman government.

I was quite aware of Schliemann, that's why I put him into my PC's background.

However, his working methods didn't exactly match today's definition of the term "Archaeology".

So, what does the skill "Archaeology" cover in these times?


Thanks,

Sorry about the Schliemann thing, I read it in your background and completely forgot about it.

I don't know how to answer your question. Archaeology is Archaeology. While there are some differences in the Archaeology of today and that of the late 19th century, it is pretty much the same thing. The study of artifacts of past cultures and civilizations. I agree that alot of the archaeologists of that time where just "treasure hunters" but that is not true of all of them. The methods of modern archaeology where defined during this period.

Sherlock...right now, my plate is really packed with RL, so I will bow out of this so others can get a chance.

Good luck and I will be following the game as it goes..

Hey, no problem!

Hmmm, some of my teachers / professors might be prone to disagree rather violently.


No problem at all, though. I understand and will adjust the PC accordingly. (Still, it looks like I have to drop his english language - it's just to costly. )
