Just ran my first game of CoC(looong post)

absurdum

First Post
Well tonight well had our first game of CoC.
Hears a brief run down of what happened.
Firstly I'll introduce the cast:
Jack Black, an ex-soldier turned detective after being dis-honerably discharged as an SAS speical mission co-op, of the 128 flying muscrat. He is somewhat an alcohlic, and is paranoid that aliens are after him. Equiped with two desert eagles(illegal),a shotgun(illegal), and two glocks(leagal)

Meg White, a record store/bar owner(the shop is called white noise) who has a phsychology major, and psychic powers. Duke is one of her customers, and through him she met Jack who is obsessed with her powers.Unarmed

Professor Carnithius O'laudé, A physics professor at the Imperial College of Science and Technology, who is both brilliant and essentic. He not only believes that sceince can explain everything but everything can be sceintificly explained by him. Armed with a shotgun(legal, the reason on his license is to kill vermin), and with thoughts gone by.

Doctor "professor" Duke, A technition/hacker how is brilliant with computers electronics and guns. He met Jack Black at a shooting range, and is a former student of Carnithius, but goes to regular astronomy nights that he holds. He is armed with a desret eagle(illeagl) and a glock(legal)

I started the adventure with everybody seperate, Jack recieves a call from the police to come to the station, once ariving there it turns out that his sister was found walking the streets in the middle of the night in her bed clothes, she believes herself to be 5 years old and wonders why she looks so old, and why jack looks so old. She is admitted to the psycatric ward of the hospital.
Duke and one of his MSN buddies notice that an online friend of there's and also a PHD student of professor O'laude hasn't been online for a few days.
Jack askes meg to help him investigate his sisters strangness, her powers reveale nothing, he then stops by his office to chack his answering machine, and has a potential client. He calls the man back and they meet in the clients office. The Brittish Museum has lost a book, Cthaat Aquadingen, and he being a book collector would like him to find who stole the book and steal it from them for him. he agrees to do it for £10,000.
At O'laude's next astronomy meeting Duke brings up Lucy's(the friend on MSN) disappearance, O'laude states that he too was concernded and had contacted police but they said that she has not been missing long enough and that his ties to her are loose anyway. They then deside to get Jacks help to find her, and O'laude admitts that he was having an affair with Lucy.
They all go to her house, armed, and knock at her door. No answer. They break in, search the house and find her mangled courpse in the basement, in another part of the basement they find a cultist hiding with a bucket of blood and and surounded ny strange runes. They have shot out and win, although they came close to losing Jack, who drives himself to the hospital. They hide the weapons and and call the police and explain everything, although they lie about braking in claiming thy have a key. Jack stays at hospital overnight, under police gard, after answering some questions he is released, although all there details are taken. While at the hospital they visit Jack's sister again, and Meg divins that a strange device with needles on the end of it was inserted into her hand, she saw a claw hand and in the distance a cone shaped body, loses a fair bit of sanity while doing so. :)
They then head over to the museum to try to findwho stole the book, they find out that a very limited number of people have access to the stack(in which the book is kept) and that it looks like an inside job, but no one knows exactly when the book was taken. So the survalence tapes around the stack are pointless, until Meg has a vision of when they were taken. They now trying to get access to the tapes to find out who took the book.
Thus ends the adventure.

Notes, Carnithius, uses his shotgun to kill a spider in his house because he hates spiders. He also makes shirts for them to wear on there adventures that has "Mistery teeme" finger painted on them, only he wears it. And at one time he metions that he armed with thoughts gone by.
Jack makes his breakfast cereal with gin instead of milk. His siters name is kathrin Lucy, but her nick name is Kath Lulu.

Problem now is we cannot play for 2 weeks, damn uni!

Absurdum,

great post! I'm glad your group had such a good time!

Have you ever played the original version of CoC? If so, how did it compare to you?

Did the game run fairly smoothly the first time? or did you have any drags in time?

No we haven't played the original, so I can't tell you.
The game didn't run that smooth at first because not everyone was doing stuff right at the start. So they were getting bored, but once everyone meet up it started to run very smooth.
 

Like you plot and creativity, must be fun when your so original. The people I play with are boring dumb****s. They get there jollies worth when the put a tent up and make an achievement list with it on it like that idiot "DM with a vengence". What a fool.
Prof Carnithius killing that spider ..... hahahhahahahha. The person doing that character must be **** in the head.

Welcome to the boards! Unfortunately, using creative spelling to get around the profanity filter doesn't make it okay to swear here. Please don't do so in the future; if it would offend Morrus' grandmother, it shouldn't appear here, and the includes "clever" spellings. Thanks!
 


Hi,

Just a couple of trivia points FYI:
1) Imperial College of Science & Technology is now Imperial College of Science, Technology & Medicine. Changed about 12 years ago.
2) Also, I don't think you can legally own a handgun other than .22 target pistol in the UK. I heard something on the radio about even our Olympic athletes having difficulty practising.

I would ignore point #2 if it might spoil your game in any way.

Game sounded fun :).

Cheers,
Liam
 

If you're going to keep us up to date on the campaign, which I hope you do, you should probably add this to the Story Hour forum. Looks like a fun game.
