[D20 CoC] Beyond the Mountains of Madness Campaign - Recruiting Alternate Players


log in or register to remove this ad


Hello Strahd Von Zarovich,

Yes, we are continuing our re-recruitment of players and this would actually be an excellent time for new players to join. The expedition is finishing up a few last activities just prior to departing for Antarctica.

DH's post includes a link that summarizes much of the story leading up to our current status and there's also a link in there that describes the options for character creation.

You don't need to read all of the previous story posts to join us (there's quite a bit). I would recommend reading the summaries that DH pointed you to, then perhaps some of the more recent story posts in Chapter 4: Departure. Then let us know your thoughts regarding a character that you'd like to play. And that's it. We'll get you up and running as quickly as possible.

Thanks!
Job.
 


Hi Job,
I am going to take over Father P.J. Rucker, the Priest/Scientist.
Several Qs:

Do you have an updated sheet of him, or the one on the RG is the most updated one?
I noticed the former player didn't wrote the Max Sanity, I assume it is going to be 99 right?
Cthulhu Mythos for now is 0?
No saving left, yearly income and original savings record on the character's post.

Ooh! This will make things interesting! *the sound of evil snickering is heard* Actually, that's a fine choice.

The character sheet in the Rogues Gallery was the last update from Dallas, the creator.

Yes, the starting maximum sanity for all players is 99.

Dallas and I had worked through a few background details and gameplay issues prior to his strange disappearance from our game. If you would be so kind as to provide me with your email address, I'll write up a summary that you and I can talk through. Some of this information is only known by Father Rucker, so I should not post it in this thread. You won't need to accept all of Father Rucker's existing stats and gear, but I'll need to approve any changes so that game balance is preserved.

Dallas had left this incomplete, but here's a suggested starting point:
- Yearly Income = $3,000 (from D20 CoC book, pg 15, using a Priest's profession modifier)
- Original Savings = $6,000
- Savings left after purchasing gear = approx. $5,000

As a sidenote, when Dallas first joined our game, there was quite a bit of interesting player interactions and comments related to Father Rucker's abilities. You'd probably find those discussions interesting, to say the least. To review our discussions, you should start at post #179 in the Out of Character thread.

I'm not going to change anything, and I read the conversation you had in the OOC thread, I agree with the other players as for the spellcasting ability Dallas wanted the Priest to have, it's not right.
I quite liked the father's encounter with the alien fossils … but this is where it ends, He goes to Antarctica because the Father wants divine or Scientifics answers.
EDIT: Considering his fossils encounter, does he have any Mythos skill points at all ???

My email is royshosh@walla.co.il
I'll post the character again in the RG.

Is Father P.J. Rucker supposed to board the ship?
If do, I'll post in the IC
If you don't mind, please post a brief description of Father Rucker's arrival at the dock area in NYC, and I'll provide you with descriptions of what occurs. Father Rucker has yet to meet James Starkweather. :]

Here is a link where you'll find some correspondence between Father JP and Commander Starkweather --> Link

I'll take another peek at Father Rucker's character sheet, and also send you the email describing Father Rucker's mythos background, this weekend. It's great to have you aboard, SVZ!
