Interest Check: Casual, Semi-Serious Call of Cthulhu Game


Recruitment


Probably won't be running this right now, but I just thought I'd see if there are any Cthulhu fans lurking out there who might be interested in this for the future.

My thoughts were for a classic-era (1920s) game in which all the players were members of or affiliated with one disgustingly wealthy, exorbitantly high class family and have to deal with their own dysfunctional family members AND the typical otherworldly Lovecraftian abominations. Sort of a Kardashians vs. Cthulhu feel or (if you've heard of the play) Hay Fever with more tentacles.

Little bit of comedy, little bit of cosmic horror, and a whole lot of drama.

Any interest?

Yes. I have never played CoC, but I have the rules (7th ed., I think).


Definitely interested. Like @Fox, never played but love the genre and willing to learn.


I would be on board!


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Good to hear - I have the 6th edition rules, but the game really hasn't changed much between editions and really isn't all that rules heavy to begin with. Learning Call of Cthulhu is more about getting into the investigative mindset than system mastery, which I actually think is one of the system's stronger points.

Please PM me if you get this off the ground! :)


Reminds me of Clive Barker's Undying, which I love.

Liberty's Edge

Yes, even in death we dream. We are here, just waiting for the stars to be right.
Iä! Iä! Cthulhu Fthang!

Hmmm, Undying is definitely food for thought. Not sure if I want to go the "whole family is cursed" route but there's definitely the basis for a story there.
