[Recruiting] CoC D20 Dunwich Return to the Forgotten Village

Greetings,

I have decided to start the game this Sunday with the 5 players which we currently have. The introductory adventure will be in the Amazon Jungle, while the campaign will mostly take place in the backwoods of Dunwich. In light of this, characters which are suited for travel and exploration will probably fair the best. Someone should also have the following skills: Speak other Language: German; Knowledge: Archaelogy, Streetwise, History; Craft: Illustration; and Research.

For those who like to pack firearms, you must be warned that if a firearm is used in a public place, within the confines of a city, the police will surely come. And in most cases they will arrive before you are able to leave the area. If you are either caught with the weapon, or identified as the shooter you will go to the pokey.

As for character creation you will generate your 6 ability scores by rolling four six sided dice, you will be able to reroll any die with a result of one. Then you will choose the three highest die and use them as your ability score. For example you roll a 1, 3, 6, and 6. You then reroll the 1 and get a 5. So now you have a 5, 3, 6, and 6. You then take the highest highest three which would be the 5, 6, and 6. Giving an ability scor of 17. Hopefully this will assist in generating character with more longevity since we are starting at level 1.

I would like to hear from all players who are still interested, please post in this thread. Then you can post your characters. I will start entering background information in the Gaming thread between Friday and Sunday. Feel free to begin posting as soon as we have all characters posted here and the gaming thread has commenced.

Hi, I'm still interested. Are you going to give us some background about why we're all in the jungle together before the character creation part, or will we just be ad-libbing it in-game? For the skills, does that mean all of those skills need to be covered by one character, or that the group as a whole should cover them in bits and pieces?
 


Greetings,

ShadowX- you are in!!!!

Bruin,

I will began posting background info in the actual gameplay thread tomorrow. The intro adventure breifly begins in Arkham, Mass. and the party immediately departs for the Amazon. The skills mentioned above can be spread out amongst the party. As far as character generation I stated the criteria for rolls above, anything else in the D20 Gamebook is fair game as far as I am concern.

You guys may want to have some discussions in this thread before you create your characters. This will insure you have a well rounded party. Do be ready for anything from street brawling to shootem up. Need I say more!!!!

Any chance you could specify variant rules you are using? It would be nice for all of us to have a unified base to work from. Someone building a character around AoO will be none to pleased if there are no AoO.


Edit: Also what is the time period?

Can I be a punk, Spike or Billy Idol lookalike, with a sneer and a baseball bat and some streetwise? Or would that be out there a bit much?

Edit: Reading the post below... hmmm, punk won't work. But I definitely want to play something along the lines of a criminal, shady background.

Greetings,

ShadowX,

Any variants contained in the D20 gamebook is fine, doesn't matter. Design your character as you please as long as its according to the D20 rulebook.

The period is early 1930's

I wanted to start on Sunday but if players need more time let me know.
 

Is this right after prohibition ended (1933)? If so, Bruin, ex-rumrunner might work - you'd be at loose ends, be as sleazy as you want.

I think I'll go as german archelogist fleeing the coming Nazi menace, given the skills here and the period, but I'll play as anything - except the 80-year-old librarian. I'm happy to fill in holes.

Sunday should be no problem for me, but I can't post probably until late in the day (7'ish PST) - I have family in town for the weekend.

btw - I'm a bruin alum. Pumped for football and basketball for the first time in forever.
