It's insane that I'm even considering putting another game together when I already run three, but I figured I would at least check for interest before completely ruling it out.
Is anyone interested in doing a Trail of Cthulhu game on the boards? I'm considering Arkham Detective Tales (which mostly takes place in New York- misleading title) which basically sets up an X-Files like campaign except during the Great Depression. It's a little more hopeful than a pure Lovecraftian campaign in that you can thwart Mythos activity- at least temporarily and at great personal risk.
Seeing J Edgar Hoover in a dress will likely carry a hefty stability loss, by the way.

I'm game for anything Cthulhu has to offer! I'm not familiar with the Trail of Cthulhu system, but I would like to be.
I'd probably want to play an archaeologist turned Private Investigator, possibly after being thrown out of academic for selling artifacts to support a heavy booze (or something heavier) habit.
I'd also be up for this. I have the ToC hardcover, but have yet to give it a try.
I've got a lot of the books, but I've never had the chance to play it myself either. Maybe if we can get one or two more people we'll give it a go.
James, if you want to check out the system and you've got $11 burning a hole in your pocket the Paizo store has a PDF of the player's guide- which is just the player info from the full book.
Three people is a good start. I'll put something together this weekend with a run-down on character stuff.
I might like to throw my hat into the ring as well. I picked up the book at a used bookstore on a whim and have never found a group to play with. I'm a complete noob to the rule system, but I'll read up.
Would you do the PbP here or elsewhere?
I've been meaning to get back in a Cthulhu game since I had to move in January. I never had the chance to play Trails (I have the Chaosium and d20 versions), but I'm been thinking of getting the gumshoe version anyway (they just released it in portuguese here in Brazil). I'd love the opportunity to play on a game like that
Discussion thread is up, if you're all still interested.

Here; it's the only messageboard I'm active on.
If you've room for one more, I'd love to join. I've played lots of CoC but not ToC. I'm happy to pick up Player's Guide PDF. If the game is closed, I understand. Please let me know either way. Thanks!
Seems like we've lost a lot of people between expressing interest and actually making characters, so if there's anyone sort of interested out there, feel free to throw your fedora into the ring.
Another game? I think you've taken one too many hits to the SAN score. :-)
Consider this a bump. James is an awesome GM.
Consider my fedora thrown! I havent played the Trail of Cthulhu system so I'm going to have to look over it.
Hey, resurrecting this thread. We lost one of our investigators recently to RL issues and since we want to keep going with the investigation, I'm looking for a new investigator or two. Everyone is new to Trail of Cthulhu, so don't feel like you have to be a pro to get started with us. Hoping to stay posting pretty regularly.
The pitch: Characters are part of a crack team of Mythos investigators assembled by J. Edgar Hoover to look into odd cases around New York City following certain unexplainable events (see "The Horror at Red Hook", the aftermath of "The Shadow Over Innsmouth"). Currently investigating a Lindbergh Baby copycat kidnapping upstate that may just be more than it appears.
Our current team consists of Professor Thaddeus Blackwell, Detective Tony Giacomini and Tommy Brennan, the plucky reporter. Agent Barley, our departed friend's PC is currently DMPC'ed.
As a long time CoC player I have found it easy to pick up Trail of Cthulhu rules in this campaign. James has been fun to work with. If you are interested, go for it!
Bump.
The campaign has a noir flavor too if that's your thing.
If this game *ever* gets an opening I will claw my way through a an angry shoggoth to get in.
Wait! Is that... open recruitment? I may have just lost some sanity.
Do you have room for an archeologist? I'm thinking of a sort of history expert/linguist a'la Daniel Jackson from Stargate with an emphasis on ancient myths and legends.
I'm thinking Indiana Jones meets Joseph Campbell.
Sorry, man, but we just closed down the game; never really got the momentum going to keep it running.

Sigh. Oh well. Thanks anyway.
