Chakos and Antonio: I didn't mention it but you are also entitled (See House Rules, above) to Recover Luck:
During the Investigator Development Phase, Luck can be improved like any other skill. The player rolls 1D100 and if the roll is higher than their current Luck score they add 2D10+10 points to their Luck score. If the roll is equal to or less than the hero’s present Luck score, 1D10+5 Luck points are recovered.
Naturally, a hero’s Luck score will vary throughout play, but may never exceed 99 (excess points are lost). The starting Luck value is not used again in the game and can be exceeded in the course of play.
Just to clarify we aren't using Personal Interests Skill rules correct or do those go to archetyepe skills?
Sorry, I should have pointed this out to the new players (I forgot it was there): On the Campaign Tab you will find a complete guide to creating characters as well as a guide to formatting your character sheet. Please use that!
What about hit point healing?
What about hit point healing?
Wounded heroes recover faster: natural healing is increased to +2 hit points per day (the Quick Healer talent increases this to +3 hit points per day). In addition, successful First Aid and Medicine healing is increased to +1D4 hit points (see Skills, page 36, Chapter 2: Creating Pulp Heroes).
So I assume that between adventures you heal up completely.
So, there I was, at Scout Camp. I get a text from another adult telling me that a third adult had tested Covid positive today. Yesterday I had spent more than an hour sitting around chatting with that very guy.
I do the right thing, report the exposure, and long story short, I am home from Scout Camp. There were tears, from my son, and some of the other Scouts, and maybe, just maybe, from me.
Hopefully a false alarm, and an abundance of caution, but I'm sleeping in the basement tonight, the wife is upstairs with the dog.
Ahh well.
Good luck, Chakos. Are you able to get tests?
My wife tested positive last weekend. Just now she's beginning to feel like a human again. She's been living life stuck in our second bedroom.
Yes, we have some tests. I'll give it a day or so before I use one, I think it would be too early to pop positive, and I've got no symptoms.
Good luck. And on behalf of the rest of the world, thank you for being aware and protective of your fellow humans! Sorry for all who had to sacrifice here.
Sorry, that sucks a ton but good on you, having got it twice from folks who had known exposure and didn’t care thanks!

Agreed!!
I just realized that our new players have their characters partially done. Good start! Please fill out the Backstory, Personal Description, Ideology/Beliefs, Significant People, Meaningful Locations, Treasured Possessions and Traits sections!
Do we know what year it is? sorry if that's somewhere that I'm missing!
Just finished first pass through the rules and working out details now.

I still need to buy equipment, but does it look like I have the basics covered? I am still writing a longer backstory, but I got called away for a family emergency and am on the road today and tomorrow at least.
For items not in Pulp Cthulhu handbook but in the Investigators handbook can we use those prices? also can I voluntarily reduce my size a bit?
Actually scratch the size reduction question just saw that 65 is average for size!
Outside of Equipment I think Eddie is done!
Great photo! Of course, at 23 years old, of course he has a baby face!
Thanks, yeah I may elaborate more, basically it looks like he hit a growth spurt at 13 and never grew after that at all in face or body or rather barely looks like he did
Eddie looks great. Let's wait for Jack Forrester to rejoin us before we continue.
I’m back. Should be updated short.
I did not find buying anything like weapons, but Jack lives by fairly modest means.
All the weapons are in the Investigator's Handbook, but your employer (the Caduceus Foundation) will supply your gear and weapons.
I've invited a new player. Welcome aboard, Qstor!
Feel free to ask questions here.

We'll all get started with the next chapter shortly. It's a busy week for me, so I'll just say "some time before the weekend."

Thanks GM!
What's the party make up?
Archaeologist here! Also pretty decent in mechanical repair - it pays the bills when I'm not out hunting for treasures in exotic locations!
Army pilot emphasis on the pilot!
Doctor/Medic/Pistoleer
Boxer Priest
Mechanic, both cars and planes, some previous war time experience. Likes to tinker with gadgets and gizmos.
Okay. Busy week. We'll get started sometime between now and Monday!
Okay. At long last I'm ready to get going. The issue I've been thinking about is that the existing team (Antonio, Chakos and Elliot) won't meet their new teammates (Edward and Jack) until they receive their next assignment.
In the meantime, there is a short interlude I want to put in which logically would involve only Antonio, Chakos and Elliot. In order keep Edward and Jack's players from having to wait too long, we'll keep it short.
Looking forward to it!
No worries!
To the victors goes the spoils! And hopefully more Luck and Sanity!
Yes. Yes. MORE sanity is the way this will go...
Yes. Yes. MORE sanity is the way this will go...
And more Luck! Don't forget the Luck!
Ok all, I'm heading out of town tonight for another bout of vacation! I should be back next Saturday!
Keeper, can you kick my Keskodai alias out of the game please?
Done.
Thanks!
Alright, my friends! I am off to GenCon in the morning and won’t be posting for the next week. Please expect me back on or around Tuesday the 9th of August. If I am the GM for this game, I’ll see ya then! If I’m a player, please feel free to bot my character as appropriate.
Stay safe and I’ll talk to you all in a week!
PS: I’ll be away the whole second half of August, too. Nerd vacation now, family vacation then. :-)
Have fun!
Enjoy!
Just a heads up I am headed off for a week's vacation starting tomorrow. I will have a computer and an internet connection, so I'm planning to post as usual. But sometimes plans go sideways, so if I'm quiet for about nine days or so you'll know why!
Hi folks!
As previously mentioned, I am on vacation. I may be around a bit this weekend (August 20-21), but then I’ll be gone until at least August 28. See you ‘round!
No problem, enjoy!
Hey y'all sorry I've been away for a while! I'd really love to rejoin this game assuming you'll still have me, I'm thinning out a bit cause I overcommitted in the summer and am paying for that now that the school year has come around but it looks like I haven't missed too much here if You're all okay with me rejoining!
Jump in!
