and Madness Followed (Inactive)

Game Master Dennis Harry

Updates tomorrow night folks!

Another small update :-)

Posting for this game will take a little more brain power than I currently have. Work wore me out but I will leave the gameplay page open so that it is the first thing I see when I get up. So sorry for the delay. Between the website flipping out and me getting sick my posts are rather sporadic.

in order of what she thinks is important but Pheobe would try and attend them all.
Dr. Greene
Sykes the Arctic Guide
Professor Albemarle on arctic weather
The Sorensen Brothers on equipment
Laroche on radio operations
Patrick Miles on maintenance
Pulaski and Fiskarson on dog sled teams
Gilmore and O'Doul on the ice drills and melters
Professor Griffith on geology
Professor Moore himself lectures on Antarctic exploration and Discovery
Halperin on aeriel navigation

They are scheduled so all can be attended, if there were any anyone wanted to skip I was just giving that option! :-)

It's up to Arnault!

Let's hope the dice roller becomes kinder as we move forward, at this rate Cthulhu could sneak up on the Investigators and he's the size of a mountain! ;-)

"Tentacles? I don't see any tentacles! It's far too shady to see anything in this giant shadow."

"Tentacles? I don't see any tentacles! It's far too shady to see anything in this giant shadow."

LOL.

Sorry, I must have got interrupted halfway through making a post... I swear I've already failed that Listen roll...

I have to take my daughter to scouts tonight but I'll make a post after that. Sorry for the hold up!

Holy Crap, one of you made a roll!

How?

How?

S%%# you are right I read that last post by Arnault all wrong...

I'll update later now that you all missed checks again.

Hmmmm.

Damn it! Come on and give us something! I am sorry Arnault! Curse you dice roller we will never notice anything :(

Well, the good news is that even though it would have been a good check to make it's not like Chtulhu is sneaking on the boat...

at least with our track rate we'll die with all our sanity in tack...

We'll never see what kills us XD

Polar Survival 5% +1d8

I'm also having a great time. This is my first exposure to the Call of Cthulhu RPG, and it's a good impression. I'm enjoying the RP, and the abysmal failures at making roll has become a really amusing running gag to the point where it will be almost sad if it ever truly goes away :P

This is also my first brush with Call of Cthulhu. No one I play with in face to face seems to want to play this game so I am thrilled I am getting to take a swing at it. And yes I am enjoying the dice fails. That just means everything is a surprise.

Polar Survival 5%: 1d8 ⇒ 5
Radio Operator 3%: 1d6 ⇒ 6
Meteorology 3%: 1d10 ⇒ 8
Drive Dog Sled 10%: 1d20 ⇒ 11

Archaeology: 1d15 ⇒ 10

I have wanted to run this Adventure since I first laid eyes on it (almost) 20 years ago so I am glad you are all enjoying it!

I may get a little lost but I am really enjoying it.

Updates tomorrow.

I am lucky enough to enjoy a large rpg community who plays traveller, Jarune, Talisman, Descent, 5th edition D and D, pathfinder, marvel, cthulu, world of darkness of all sorts, and much more. So life is good. I just want more games much like more cow bell... never enough for this old timer.

Hah. Me too.

I played in a number of games here on the boards but I often find DM's unreliable. There are many good ones but a lot who are not so great either. That is why I run so many games, I would rather run than not play at all.

I hate you be the one with a silly question but what is a Know Check?

I hate you be the one with a silly question but what is a Know Check?

KNOW is one of your base stats. It is rarely used as a skill test but once in a while it's used. :-)

I was not looking in that spot so i clearly missed it. Thank you.

I am having some family drama / emergencies so please bot me if need be.

FYI, I will NOT be updating this thread again until Tuesday or Wednesday as I need to kick off a new campaign tomorrow night.

The family emergency turned into a death so please bot me if I am not posting. I will most likely go though bouts of frequent posting and then none at all for a while.

My condolences for your loss :(

I'm going to be moving to a new place over the course of the next two or three days, so I'm probably going to be pretty sparse for a few days as well.

Sorry for your loss DDA (Phoebe) :(

Thank you. I should be back to posting by monday though the remainder of the month will be rather sporadic.

Alphonso will dash up and invite the fellow to join his makeshift club...

Because of the way this is worded, I'm now picturing Alphonso as Calvin beating on the guy with a "No Girls Allowed" sign :P

If Alphonso gets a hobbes I am all for it!

For future reference I have placed the Base Chances for all Skills in the Great Old One Profile.

Updates tomorrow. :-(

Phoebe should be back soon and I believe Arnault is around just has not had much to say lately.

I did get caught up but I am going to take a little more personal time. I took possession of my neices dog to get it to a better home but the dog got out and was killed by a car a few hours ago. I am a bit of mess right now. In a day or two I will jump back in to this game, the evil one, and the kingmaker we are in together

Who knew it was finding sabotaged gear Arnault is good at... he has a very specific set of skills XD

Traditions matter my friend :)

I'll hit this update first thing tomorrow night. It will be a big one so don;t have time for it tonight.

That post went easier than I expected it to! :-)

Updates tomorrow night!
