Masks of Nyarlathotep: OOC [CoC d20]

[Gomez]

Might have to wait until next week - as I said, I can email you the stats already,
just not take the time to layout it for the RG here. :\ Important exams next Wednesday...

email it to me

Not the only one!

Anthony may possess a gun, but he usually doesn't carry it. He works at the Met, after all. (Ifigured being a manic nihilist was already enough and decided to not add paranoia to his slate.)

True. I suppose its not like Newt walks around with bat, either. That might seem a bit...odd.

Alright, my character has equipment. I think Newt Wright is ready to go! (Insane )

all but wealth done...

My Pc is ready too, I just need some more prices on stuff and I'm a little unclear as to how to roll for wealth.

Douane said it would be 1d6-1 times a 1000 but on his sheet he rolled 1d6+3 (+2 of that is from a feat I guess)? Does that mean his profession (dilettante) provides a 2 point swing relative to the rest of us?

Does Fanny's profession (writer) provide any wealth bonus?

Over on invisible castle I rolled a 2, which if I subtract 1 means I start out with the minimum, only $2000. Here is to hoping I can afford some clothes. :\

I should be able to get the book Sunday from a friend, but if you want to start earlier I'll either have to fix the gear/wealth after we start or get some help.

Let me explain in a bit more detail:

Wealth in CoC d20 is determined by the roll of a single d6, modified by profession. Reporter/Writer is unfortunately one of the less-paying occupations/professions and thus a reporter's "bonus" to the wealth roll is -1, resulting in the 1d6-1 I gave you. (Same with the PI.)

Profession boni range from -2 (Artists, Soldiers) to +2 (Doctors, Technicians). The Dilettante comes at an +1.


[EDIT And you'll absolutely be able to afford some clothing. Modern prices are rather misleading in this regard. For example, here are a few prices from the top of the Women's clothing list.

Quality Women Dress $15.00
Chic Designer Dress $90.00 (Coco Chanel will probably be more, though.)
Brown Fox Fur Coat $198.00

A Writer gets a -1 on their Wealth roll. So your roll of 2 does become 1 and give you yearly income of $1000 and starting cash of $2000. That should be plenty of money to equip your character. You just cannot have anything fancy.

My Pc is ready too, I just need some more prices on stuff and I'm a little unclear as to how to roll for wealth. [...]

I'm afraid I won't be able to give definite answers on most of these as the equipment list is unfortunately not that detailed.

Compact with silvered mirror and face powder and other makeup ($??)
Hat, palmade, and fake mustache (????)
Suit cut/tailored to make her look like a man for the purpose of disguises (????)
Ladies Wardrobe – nice but not too nice. Fewer outfits of stylish tailoring rather than many cheaper ones (????)
Apartment with stylish furnishings (upkeep?)

- Rent: Flat $ 12.50 per week; Apartment $ 10.00 per week

- no prices on makeup per se - closest 'personal' items I can offer is the "Women's Toilet Set (15 pieces)" for $ 22.95

- tailored men's suit - my guess would be somewhere around $ 40

- as for Ladies' Wardrobe, I already gave you some examples in the post above. Here's the rest of the list:

Woman's wool coat $ 15.00
Woman's frock 5.00
Silk crepe frock 16.50
Satin charmeuse 10.95
French Repp Dress 10.95
Worsted wool sweater 9.48
Cotton crepe negligee 6.98

Just a bump.

Back from the exams - will have my stuff ready as soon as I can.

 

[Fangor the Fierce]

I think I am done. Don't have books for costs of clothes, and such, but I figure I would still have them, lol.

 

[Le Noir Faineant]

:\ Sorry for the absence! Is it just me or was ENW down since Thursday? - Couldn't access the site, but kept getting notifications. Strange...

Without much addo, I'll simply add my character to the rogues gallery then, if that is still acceptable.
