Since this seems to be the Forum Games Board, figure I'd post this here.

A while back I got my hands on an adventure for the Call of Cthulu system, and which just happens to contain enough rules for me to run the thing. Now, my local group doesn't seem interested in it, but I figure you guys might be game. System looks to be rules light, with a percentage system for resolving skills.

If there's interest, I'll be running it in IRC with the folks who sign up.
Date is to be determined, but I'm flexible. Though, I will have a preference for Mon-Thu.

Finally, characters are pre-genned. So, I'll list the names and professions and then at game time, you'll get the character sheet along with a little blurb that the adventure comes with. And there are only five characters.

Investigators

1. Sam McCoy (41): Private Investigator
2. Jenny mcMillan (30): Journalist
3. Prof. Victor Stanton (56): Prof. of Anthropology, Miskatonic U
4. Floyd Irwin (28): Criminal
5. Clive Lanchester (35): Antiquarian

For those wondering, this won't be a weekly thing, this'll be a one shot. Which means that there'll be one or two sessions.

Fucking in.

SnowFire · « **Reply #3 on:** August 19, 2010, 06:11:53 AM »

Totally in for this as well.

Shale · « **Reply #4 on:** August 19, 2010, 12:10:19 PM »

I will make time for this.

This is Alex posting from Laggy's comp, I'm totally in though!

Alright, that's four of you. Room for one want to suggest a) days that work, and b) which character you guys want.

Ranmilia · « **Reply #7 on:** August 20, 2010, 10:22:16 PM »

I'm good with any character and any time except late night Thursdays.

Shale · « **Reply #8 on:** August 20, 2010, 10:30:29 PM »

Monday and Tuesday nights are bad.

Excal · « **Reply #9 on:** August 20, 2010, 11:32:47 PM »

So we're looking at a Wenesday then, are we?

If push comes to shove, Saturday night (around 7PM Pacific) and certain Fridays can also work.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #10 on:** August 21, 2010, 12:34:04 AM »

Hmmm. Call me in. I'll put forward that Thursday nights are impossible for me due to Persona RP, though.

SnowFire · « **Reply #11 on:** August 21, 2010, 04:33:13 AM »

Wednesday and Saturday both work for me.

Ranmilia · « **Reply #12 on:** August 21, 2010, 06:27:37 AM »

Those are fine with me.

AndrewRogue · « **Reply #13 on:** August 21, 2010, 08:21:57 AM »

I'll need to see what works for me, honestly, so you may want to consider a secondary player in case no times work for me. Like I'm expecting.

Excal · « **Reply #14 on:** August 21, 2010, 06:37:36 PM »

If somebody wants to jump in as a back up player, that'd be fine, or I could just do an interest call when the time comes, or even just run with four players. That said, I'm not in a huge rush, and we can find a group date that is best for you and see how things are looking when it hits.

SnowFire · « **Reply #15 on:** August 22, 2010, 11:07:31 PM »

A friend of mine is interested in joining up, but he has somewhat weird time constraints. Sunday/Monday/Tuesday basically, and Wednesday only prior to 4:00 (which would rule me, and a lot of others, out).

Excal · « **Reply #16 on:** August 23, 2010, 09:45:42 PM »

Alright guys, how does this Saturday at 7PM, Pacific sound?

Shale · « **Reply #17 on:** August 23, 2010, 10:14:25 PM »

Should be okay. I'm moving this weekend, but Saturday is a light day and 10PM eastern is late enough hat I shouldn't be busy with it then. I will give warning if I might not have Internet.

Jo'ou Ranbu · « **Reply #18 on:** August 23, 2010, 10:49:38 PM »

Saturday anytime works for me.

Ranmilia · « **Reply #19 on:** August 23, 2010, 11:02:30 PM »

sounds fine.

SnowFire · « **Reply #20 on:** August 24, 2010, 04:10:31 AM »

Works for me too, though obviously said friend will almost certainly have to bow out. But four will be enough.

Excal · « **Reply #21 on:** August 24, 2010, 06:18:38 AM »

Andy is still random. So there might be five, but yeah. So long as I've got four, not going to be religious about it.

How does five-person Mafia even work?

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #23 on:** August 24, 2010, 07:30:26 AM »

This isn't Mafia, it's a tabletop game IIRC.

Lynch someone, LYLO next Day.

Alternatively, one person needs to lynch a specific person, the others need to lynch HIM. You'll have three days then.
