Though, be warned, you may never look back <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />This also applies to anyone else who is interested but reluctant because they don't know Basic Roleplay rules (Chaosium's version). I know them inside out and will happily lead you through the character creation process and point out the more important aspects of play, like sanity. As the name suggests, it's a very easy system to pick up.My suggestion for you Dire Lemming, and anyone else who'd like to play but doesn't (or does) know the rules is to simply submit a character proposal including name, gender, age, occupation, background and any other information you want to include to flesh him/her out. You can do this in the time honoured tradition by listing the basics then writing the background, or provide him/her as a kind of narrative introduction. Depending on your preference I'll then either roll up your character for you using the details you provide as the skeleton or help you do so by email (probably best as you'll then have a better understanding of what each stat represents). If you know Basic Roleplaying and the CoC system, of course, feel free to submit a completed character. There are no restrictions other than the need for your character to have an interest in the mysterious and the strange (as they will be joining the group introduced in the first post of this thread) and must fit with an early 1940s theme.The town of Arkham has a very famous/infamous university which may be an excellent premise for your character if you're stuck for ideas. Professors, -ologists, students, scholars, scientists etc. can all feasibly hail from Miskatonic University, especially as the Witching Hour bar is within walking distance.In-game I'm more than happy to lead players through processes like combat and so on.</blockquote>
