I pulled it off
Well, I sprung my "play as yourself" Call of Cthulu idea on my players last night. I told them nothing until we sat down to play. They had no idea and when I told them to create themselves on paper, I had responces ranging from "Cool!" to rolling of the eyes. I let them assign whatever values and skills they thought appropraite. And in no time at all we were off. I have to say, going classless was pretty cool.
I had a really good time and I think my players did as well. I had a real rush watching them squirm and make "safe" decisions based on how they would have reacted to the situation, surrendering to police, telling the police everything, handing over key evidence, etc.
I will not ruin Jonrog's thread with nasty details, and no I have not mustered up the courage to put together a story hour, but the best part of the game came when Jen, the only female player in the group, had to choose between saving two innocents from death or fleeing with her life. Jen, the player, was actually torn and the desicion seemed to weigh on her heavily. She finally fled, crying. It was great! Thanks for the inspiration John.
By the way, CoC is great. I had a blast. This was my first CoC game. The only complaint I have is that while the book goes out of its way detailing weapons, there is not so much as a single vehicle templet anywhere. Yes, it gives simple hit points and hardness numbers but these are generic. I had no idea what modifiers their poor Nissan pickup truck had. I basically had to wing it. This didn't hurt gameplay but it would have been nice to have some kind of reference for small pickups. I might have to take a look at Spy Craft as per your recomendation, John.
Thanks again.

I hate you all.
Man, you guys make it tough to be lazy. Okay, Okay, I will see what I can put together. But remember, it was just one session, not much there really. I don't know how long it will be before we come back to this game.
So, if you want a poorly written short shory hour I'm your man. I will post the first bit soon. Thanks for the interest people. I appreciate it.

but no cow zombies?
well, if there's a mommy zomie and a daddy zombie for our baby zombie, they must be very worried.
I wonder if the mommy zombie has protective instincts for her baby zombie? If mommy has friends in the sky maybe the ufo wasn't there to save YOU but there to save baby, who you just sent back to the institute. Bye bye institute. Plus these inteliigent "true zombies" sound like PirateCat's true ghouls, in a sense. Great minds think alike, maybe there is a true zombie colony out there where they just try to liven in peace and decay.
well if any of this portents the story to come PLEASE EDIT. these are just some misguided ramblings NOT intended to ruin anyone's fun
BTW fenzer good story

It has been almost a month since the last update. The zombies are hungry, John. Feed them.
Don't make me use Southern Charm or Drunken Pout. Both of which are 10th level hot chic spells.
Sure, if you make your Will Save you can save for half but in the end... you're gonna take some damage.
