Yep, this will be the version. The difference between version 6 and 5.6 is the interior images I think and tiny eratta.
Yog – I'm pleased to see you and thank you for joining. If you don't have the chasium version 5.6 of Call of Cthulhu, I'll bring it to you next time I'll see you. But I sure you'll find it.

So ... Middle East 1920 is a good era and place since I know it.
Can you think of a good concept that might lure you to this region?
Where do you want to begin – Europe, America, another part of Asia.
The main idea is to bring you from abroad to the middle east. So I'll write several events that are happening in the early 30' or that happened in the 20' that might be used as background stories and hooks.
We can begin in 2 January 1930. A new year. The party members are in a poker night (or something else). After celebrating the new year with their families it's to gather to celebrate with friends.
Here is some information you can read about:
British Mandate of Palestine.
1929 Palestine riots

CoC quick start guide by Chaosium.
Stats scores can be determined using invisiblecastle dice roller.
To prevent low scores use the following method:
EDU (Education) roll: 3d6+3 remains
All other abilities: 2d6+6 instead of 3d6.
Sanity and Luck are equal to Power score X 5
Idea is Int score X 5
Know is Education X 5
There are Occupation skills and Non Occupation skills:
EDU X 20 for occupation skills
And INT X 10 for non-occupation skills
more to come...

Concepts.
Concepts.
1. Offensive option. Profession. Military Officer with a degree in engineering.
Born in London grow up with this parents near the military base. Brandon allways wanted to be respected and seen up to and would join the military at age 18.
He was very fond of his grandmother Jane Broadesser a very catholic woman that had a hearth for gossip and tales of ghost and demons, only to be confessing her doings on saturdays to the local priest.
As engineer he was part of the demolition team and had been posted with a newly formed overseas unit. Age 35.
2. Defensive option. Profession Book dealer. Jack Paterlan has a antique store in London he has many gadgets and old things, but he specializes in books, and not only books, but the knowledge in them. He bumped into the profession once he robbed such a store in his late teens and found out about a old book worth at least 5 pounds a fortune in his world. Ha has read much since then and managed to become apprentice under George Hudland a man with a store as Jack had now.
He has a bedroom above the store and he keeps a shotgun in the desk and a revolver in his bedroom, knowing that he might gett robbed at any time. Age 40.
Recently interested in getting one of the original books of One Thousand and One Nights. Rumors has it that several old handwriten originals was to become auctioned away in Egypt or Israel.
Like the second better ^^

Yep, I liked choice 2. I can easily use this background.
BTW, drop the defensive option. Right now I want to run Chaosium rules and not D20.
So, check out post #17 for the link to the quick start rules.
Unless you do have the “Chaosium Call of Cthulhu rule book.” (version 5, 5.6 or 6 is OK)
