[Recruiting] CoC D20 Dunwich Return to the Forgotten Village

[DallasPA]

Greetings,

I am looking for 6 players who are interested in playing this module. I would prefer that you have played CoC or have at least read the D20 version of the rules. In addition I am only interested in players that can manage a minimum of 3 timely post a week, if this is too demanding another game would probably suit you better. I'm interested in running a long term fast-paced campaign, there will be a very short adventure which will serve as a lead-in to the Dunwich campaign. If this sounds like something you would be interested in, leave me a response in this thread. All D20 rule varients are acceptable for character design. Do not make your characters until we have a full group of players, and I have provided rules for rolls. These will be First Level Characters, you will roll character stats (trusting you), I will make all other rolls. If I find enough players I will begin posting on Sunday August 10th.

Greetings,

Bruin and snipehunt, the two of you are in. Looking for 4 more fulltime players before we begin. Also you are free to ask any particular questions you may have. This game will be wide open, copious amounts of magic and psychic feats is welcomed.

Thanks

I would be interested I think and I know I will have no issues with 3 posts a week... I'm more of a daily poster it seems. I'm not sure if I meet you’re other criteria, as I don’t have a clue what CoC is nor do I have the rules for it, but I’m willing to learn. Translation I would be willing to buy the rules if need be.

[Shattered Archon]

Greetings,

Brother Shatterstone, Ankh, and Shattered Archon you 3 are in. Still looking for 1 more fulltime players and 4 reserve players.

Since we are filling I will give some general backgrounds on gameplay. First lets deal with posting. I will be doing Major Postings on Sunday, Tuesday, and Thursday. Players should get in the habit of posting within 24 hours of my major post. I will be doing additional posting throughout to handle individual interactions, and smaller aspects of the game. If you do not reply to a major post prior to me posting the next major post I will have to assume that your character is proceeding in a logical progression from your last post. If you miss 3 major posts in a row, your character will be moved to the bottom of the reserve list and the individual who is at the top of the reserve list will enter the campaign. Also if you charcter dies you will be moved to the bottom of the reserve list, and you will have to wait your turn to re-enter the game with a new character.

I do not relish in, our try to kill off characters or drive them insane. I do think the game becomes more interesting as characters grow, smart gameplay will determine your lot in life. Be warned I do use the massive damage rule, lots of magic use/psychicfeats/cthulu mythos exposure will drive your characters insane. As stated earlier, if your character dies or is hoplessly insane you will be moved to the bottom of the reserve list. This should foster good gameplay. New characters will enter the game as Level 1 characters (brutal but real). Players having characters on the reserve list are expected to monitor the game fairly closely. When a character dies or goes insane the new character from the reserve list will be activated at the next Major Post. If the reserve character fails to respond to that Major Post he will be moved to the end of the reserve list and the next reserve player will enter. In the posting in which a character dies you will see something similar to:

OOC: [[[ Sam Sneed]]] Activated

New Reserve list:

1. Jane Gray
2. Mark Anthony
3. Bruce Willis
4. Kato

I encourage out of character post at the bottom of your normal post. I think it gives the game more of a live role playing feeling. Just make sure all out of character post follow your in character post and is proceed with an OOC: as shown above.

When performing an action our feat you need to state your skill modifier (bonus) as follows:

Sam Sneed is shooting at the Zombie on the left
SM=5

This means Sam is firing and I should add 5 to the die roll.
I in turn will follow my posting with.

Sam pulls his shoot to the left and misses zombie 3/15.

3 being the actual die roll and 15 being the difficulty. 3+5 = 8, so he misses.

Next post I will discuss how to roll your characters in my next post.

Hey it just dawned on me what CoC is... *feeling stupid* The good news is I have played it before... maybe around 1994 or so. I'm very interested in playing and will get the rules ASAP.

What time frame will we be playing in? Is their anything I should get besides the rulebook?

Greetings,

CoC is short for Call of Cthulu, make sure you get the D20 rulebook. Chaosium also has the original version of the game in print so be careful. Brother Shatter please let me know when you have recieved the book we will have to press forward and you will just have to catch up, read fast!!!!!
