Some specific rule changes from standard Savage Worlds
Any time a player rolls snake eyes, they may spend no further bennies on the roll in question. This rule reflects the fact that the cosmos does not always favor the fortune of the investigator. We’re certain Lovecraft would approve.
disallowed edges
Players are free to choose most Edges from the Savage Worlds core rules. Some, however, are not appropriate for this particular setting. The following Edges are not available to inves- tigators in Realms of Cthulhu: Arcane Backgrounds, Power Edges, Champion, Gadgeteer, Holy/Unholy Warrior, Mentalist, Mr. Fix It, Wizard, Weird Edges, and Power Surge.
the delicate psyche
You may have noticed the introduction of one new derived attribute for your investigator, Sanity. You should think of Sanity as your investigator’s mental toughness, their ability to stave off severe mental shocks, such as when encountering a Mythos creature or some horrible event that your Keeper throws at you. When this breaking point is surpassed, you are either Shaken or gain madness depending upon the degree of the terror to which you succumb.
CorruptIon
This attribute tracks the dark toll that continued contact and knowledge of the unspeakable extracts from the soul of every man. It begins at 0 and increases by 1 for each die type increase of Knowledge (Mythos).
What is Section D?
Section D” is a section of the British Secret Intelligence Service (also known as MI6) formed a little over a year ago in March 1938 to carry out paramilitary and covert political actions, including propaganda and sabotage, against an enemy during wartime. In 1939 and the early months of the war, Section D is based at the Metropole Hotel, on the corner of Northumberland Place and Whitehall in central London, close to the heart of the British government.
In the summer of 1939, Section D is under the command of Major Lawrence Grand, and is still very much finding its way, developing its operational structures, and learning to work with its allies, and in particular helping the USA develop its own intelligence efforts. As its role in aiding resistance forces under Nazi domination becomes more important, it will form a key component in the new Special Operations Executive (the famous “Baker Street Irregulars”), established in mid-1940
The Armstrong Whitworth AW38 Whitley is one of the three twin-engine medium bombers in service with the British Royal Air Force (the RAF). It’s used for maritime reconnaissance, training, towing gliders, and also transporting troops.
Because of design constraints, the Whitley flies with a distinct “nose-down” attitude, and experiences con- siderable drag. It has a powered nose turret and also a retractable hydraulic ventral turret with two machine guns (which also adds to the drag when deployed). It has a full crew of five. It’s specifically designed for use as a night bomber, although of course its mission to the former Czechoslovakia is to drop an entirely different payload!
In 1939, the British army is still experimenting with the idea of parachuting troops behind enemy lines. The Whitley used by the investigators is a specially converted model with the rear turret removed to allow parachutists to jump from the plane.
Oooo Nice plane!
Nice combat cheat sheet

Post was perfectly fine...a short sentence is often an appropriate response.
As a reminder, please try to post to the game thread everyday.
I'm holding off posting til I'm on camera.
Folks - I've asked another player to join as we only seem to have a couple of folks that are able to post daily as described in the initial recruitment thread.
