![]() Yes, yes! I'm on vacation until the 2nd and really enjoying just basically doing nothing, so that's my excuse. I'll get a post in tonight or tomorrow to get us going again. ![]()
Map of Horrors!
![]() In an insignificant, insignificant galaxy, there was an insignificant, insignificant star. And around that insignificant, insignificant star, there orbited an insignificant, insignificant planet. It's name was Golarion, and over the course of it's aeons, it had withstood many perils. Comets strikes. Devils invasions. Wish-craft wars. Alien Techno-Monsters. All horrors with names and faces. And each time, the perils were turned back at the last moment by groups Golarion's wandering, legendary heroes. But in 4716 AR Golarion faced a nameless horror. And the small band of heroes who faced it remain unsung. For the cost of just seeing it alone cost them their minds. For... They saw the dark universe yawning where the black planets roll without aim, where they roll in their horror unheeded, without knowledge, or luster, or name.
4716AR is 1921 on earth, the year Lovecraft penned Call of Cthulhu. Spooky! Feel free to dot in so you won't miss the start. ![]()

![]() Eloise is the first one in the kitchen, she "dashed". The first thing Eloise sees is the dead body on the right side of the room. It's the waitress and She's been crushed! Her head is flat as a pancake. But that's not the most disturbing thing. Just as you enter the room, you SWEAR you saw that only cast iron coal stove on the left side of the room move. That freaks you out! Eloise only, SANITY roll 1/1d4. Tom, you come in a moment later and see the dead body only, and Eloise doubtlessly disturbing reaction! MAP UPDATED. Tag Eloise and Tom:) ![]()

![]() While we wait for the printed version of 7th Edition Call of Cthulhu to be released, let's pass the time... Brush off your velvet top-hats and grab your brass goggles 'cause we're gonna play Cthulhu by Gaslight [whisper]I have a secret thing for steampunk which I cannot explain, haha![/whisper] So even if you don't want to submit a character, by all means post here and tell us what you love about Call of Cthulhu, Lovecraft, the 1890s gaslight setting, or steampunk/dieselpunk! What are you offering?:
----------------------------------------------- This will be the excellent adventure called The Machine King by Geoff Gillan and Dean Engelhardt for the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game... ----------------------------------------------- What does this Adventure have in store for me?:
----------------------------------------------- The Machine King takes place in London around 1890. We begin in a very realistic historical setting. But as the madness takes you and the dreamworld spills into reality the Investigators will find themselves in a Steampunk world of Involute Gears and Grinding Brass Metal! ----------------------------------------------- What kind of fun will I get?:
------------------------------------------------ Although RPGs like Pathfinder are super fun, the Promise of Call of Cthulhu is a just a totally different experience. Instead of playing a character like this, you play one more like this, or this, and powergamers be warned! Combat is usually pretty deadly and insanity is not uncommon. After all, your character will be uncovering the truth of the cosmic Lovecraft-ian horror lurking just behind the veil. So if your the kind of player where the GM can describe, ...the red velvet seats and gold trimmed balconies of the London Opera house where the body was found! and you can actually post something, this might be for you! But if you need, ...okay, guys, begin round 19 now. before you post, this might not be your cup-a-earl-grey.
But how do I know the game will be fun?:
----------------------------------------------- The promise is backed up by this: Call of Cthulhu is in its 7th edition and the folks over at Chaosium have been publishing role-playing games since 1975. The 7th edition quick-start rules will be sufficient for our game and are available FREE from the Chaosium here. And here is a link to a beautiful 3rd party gaslight themed character sheet by the folks over at cthulhureborn.wordpress.com to get you started. ----------------------------------------------- How many players will you be taking?:
I would like an open ended world with lots of players so this game can feeding our steampunk/Cthulhu cravings. So I'll take 8 to start with, and I reserve the right to add more later! What's the deadline for character submission?:
This depends on the interest we get (*Oh please oh please don't let me be the only steampunk geek on these boards*) but assuming there is interest, lets start with recruitment until Jan 5th, 8pm PST Will you take Call of Cthulhu Newbies?: YES!!! I'm pretty new myself, so just PM me if you need help cause it's no trouble at all! ![]()
![]() As you step into the room you see the two cultists run and cower behind the likes of which none of you except Nazz has ever seen before according to Nazz's backstory that is...A tall thin women of great beauty, with snow white hair. Stretching wide from her back are a pair of leathery wings. Her eyes glow red and in her hand is a blade that looks as though it's made of ice. A purplish light glows around her feet and from her body, like an aura of some type, and as the cultists get near here, their bodies also glow with the same luminous hue. The "women", Kiranda you presume, smiles...but says nothing yet. MAP UPDATED. IF combat is your choice, then Round 1

![]() Sensing Yazi's thoughts Paige smiles and brushes Yazi's chin with her index finger. How cute. Then she turns to walk away.
Grasp Paige by the shoulder and spin her around for a kiss:

![]() Okay, Loot Time!!! First, Anjali, because it is fun:
Anjali finds all kinds of interesting potential additives in the cave... 1. cyan colored mushrooms whose under-hoods glow like blacklights. She knows these will provide a Musky, aftershave sort of scent to concoctions. 2. ruffly orange lichen with velvety skin. She knows these will provide a pungent rotten egg sort of scent to concoctions. 3. ice-like stalactite crystals which form wherever the rock creature steps. She knows these will provide a camphoraceous mothball like sort of scent to concoctions. ![]()

![]() Katapesh is a land of magic, and no magic is more potent than wishcraft. When wishes are abused, reality itself shudders as destiny is forced to reweave along paths it was never meant to take. One such manifestation of ruptured fate is the Legacy of Fire, a series of events set into motion centuries ago by an efreeti prince named Jhavhul that only now are nearing their explosive end. The camels groan underneath your soar tushies. It's been a long trip, but you are nearing your destination where Garavel, the grave Cavalier who hired you, will introduce you to Princess Almah. It is said she is beautiful as the desert sage flowers of spring. But she will have little time for romance! Lady Almah has been given an important mission by the rulers of Katapesh: liberate the Gnoll infested ghost town Kelmarane in order to reopen trade with Osirion on the other side of the Brazen Peaks. You have been hired to help. And you are getting close! In the distant haze to the west, you can just make out the immense outline Pale Mountain looming over the mid-evening horizon like a tombstone. Garavel encourages you from the lead camel: We are almost there, my new friends. Tonight you will dine in the tent of the Princess! And tomorrow we begin the liberation of Kelmarane. Nothing like a pleasant camel ride to get to know eachother before sh&t hits the fan, lol! GAME ON! ![]()
