Game Master Dennis Harry

In 1930-31, Miskatonic University funded an Antarctic Expedition which ventured forth into the icy wastes of the southern continent in search of new discoveries. Instead the intrepid adventurers found horror, tragedy, and a great and ancient secret.
Those secrets still lie under the ice of that mysterious continent waiting to be uncovered...

More Ladies! Also this is a thing now. If the people I played with at a table were willing to play Cthulhu games I would be spending money.


I think Chaosium owns rights to the mythos unfortunately. That's why there's never been Cthulhu in D&D or pathfinder. One of the great tragedies of life...

Very nice miniatures!

Work has been brutal this week. Updates tomorrow.


Just wanted to congratulate Josephine on her successful Spot Hidden roll :D seems like the rest of us are walking around with paper bags over our heads. :P


Female Aviator and Reporter

Thanks

Remember folks to note when you make a successful roll. At the end of chapter 1 we retest those skills to see if your percentages increase.

Besides electrical and mechanical repair, the only other roll I've succeeded at was an IDEA roll (king of the bag-headed! :P ), does that one count for this percentage increase attempt as well, or is it just skills?

Just skills.


Guys, we got the flu at my house. Kids dropping one by one over the last few days. I hope to be back Tuesday or Wednesday.

Our PC revolving door will soon shunt a few new players in. Hopefully this new group will be able to stick as a full unit!


Yay! Glad the new thread worked out.


Female Aviator and Reporter

New players! Yay!


The failed sanity roll I have never encountered so I was just curious about how to role play it.


Character is finished I believe. What should I do now, in terms of gameplay and discussion? Anything I should read?

Understandable, it can be tough to respond to the horrors of the mythos mvs mundane terrors. Especially in this instance where you are terrified but manage to hold your resolve and your sanity with your particular immunity.

Nope, I will double check the submission and the figure a way to get you into the story. Likely this will be Tuesday work is going to be tough today.

I think we may have lost Gretchen to RL.

At this point I am going to stand pat and once our two new recruits are brought in we will move to Chapter 2.

Update will be tomorrow.

Sorry guys, between my D&D table top game tonight and my 2 1/2 hour commute home today I will not have time to update, will update the thread tomorrow while at work.

I hope you don't mind a little self promotion, but I am starting a Call of Cthulhu game, if you are interested.

I don;t mind at all and would love to play but I am having a hard time keeping up with gaming commitments as it is!


Sorry,
Got very busy with work, been doing some long days and haven't had any time to check the boards. I'm back now though!


Shadow's Status

As one of the two new Recruits has dropped I will stand with five players. By the end of this next week the open scenes will be resolved and we will move on to Act II.


I'll go through the new play posts later tonight or tomorrow, when I have time. Didn't see anything for a while, and just checked today.

It just occurred to me to double-check the post where Prof. Moore asked us to get the Captain. I was afraid he had only said to find him and tell him, and it had been a colossal assumption on my part to go right to the hotel. I was relieved to see it said to retrieve him from the hotel, so I don't feel like an idiot anymore! :P

heh


Shadow's Status

That was the right move Stanley.

Updates tomorrow.

Very soon we will have the whole gang together and keep you all together! Act I is nearly over.

Once:

Meeley interacts with Gretchen,
Arnault finishes wth the DMPC's,
Stanley reads his letter, and
Phoebe and Dr. Roman head to bed.

Act I will be complete! :-)


I see that we are getting more people :) yay.

And how do the rolls work together when to PCs are working together?

The system does not have any rules for it but I suppose I create some...

good morning, in a slight, precise middle European foreign accent
the well dresses man says looking at his large sized pocket watch,
My name is Mr. Wolf and I represent Goldman and Sachs investment company, who has a sizable amount placed on this endeavor, for which I shall be personally monitoring and ensuring the successful expedition to its completion.

Reminds me at the "accountant" character on "The Life Aquatic with Steve Sizzou" ;)

Welcome aboard! Please note the tradition has been established where Spot Hidden rolls must never fall within your pass range.

hands over the customary blinders

:D


Yay more people! Come and be welcome.

And Stanley is right... unfortunately.

These guys would have missed Cthulhu sneaking behind them it got so bad....


Shadow's Status

Congratulations you have all completed ACT I with all of your Sanity intact!

Leveling up in Cthulhu works as follows:

For each roll you succeeded at during ACT I you will re-roll that skill here in the Discussion thread. This time, you are looking to FAIL the roll. Example, you succeeded on a Spot Hidden roll (ha ha I know no one has but pretend one of you did) your current Spot Hidden in 50%. If your Skill check re-roll is 01-50% you get no skill increase as you have learned noting fro your experience. If your Skill check re-roll is 51-100% you get an increase!

Roll 1d10 and increase that Skill by that many % points!

During ACT II you will once again track your rolls to participate in this exercise at the end of ACT II.

Tomorrow I will begin ACT II and incorporate our new players into the game!

Electrical Repair 75: 1d100 ⇒ 73
Mechanical Repair 95: 1d100 ⇒ 1

Heh. So close! I expected as much, though, the only rolls I passed were the ones I'd invested enough in to make it hard to fail :P


Female Aviator and Reporter

Successful Rolls:
Spot Hidden (25%): 1d100 ⇒ 78
Credit Rating (50%): 1d100 ⇒ 21
She gets a Spot Hidden increase!
1d10 ⇒ 6


First Aid 60: 1d100 ⇒ 17
Medicine 55: 1d100 ⇒ 78
Medicine 55: 1d100 ⇒ 2
Spot Hidden 35: 1d100 ⇒ 18
Library Use 60: 13d100 ⇒ (45, 32, 36, 50, 87, 18, 22, 89, 56, 8, 66, 76, 6) = 591

So that is one for medicine and four for Library Use and of coarse the one spot hidden I managed to make lets me down,
Medicine: 1d10 ⇒ 7
Library Use: 4d10 ⇒ (3, 4, 1, 7) = 15

Hi Phoebe you get 1 roll per skill only.

Phoebe:
You want to re roll em all or just take the first roll of the multiples above?

I misunderstood since you said to keep track of all dice successes. My bad. My Spot Hidden with never improve!

I Would really like to keep the Medicine roll since it is a good one but I am going to reroll the Library Use and the Medicine. It is up to you.

Medicine 55: 1d100 ⇒ 14
Library Use 60: 1d100 ⇒ 68

Medicine is a big nope but Library Use goes up
1d10 ⇒ 7

We can keep the Medicine success and the new Library Use roll so both increase for you.

Updates later tonight after work, gym, and baby goes to sleep.


Woot! thank you
