Recently discovered the Magnus Archives podcast and have been binging it excessively (not finished yet, so no spoilers!), and I just have to imagine a game using the CoC system in the MA universe would be incredibly fun and fitting.
Is there any interest in this?
You wouldn’t have to be intimately familiar with the Magnus Archives world (it would be preferable to have at least a couple players who aren’t, honestly), and I’m still working on the actual details of the plot and setting. It’s mostly just a floating collection of ideals at this point, rather than any concrete details.
Warning: this would deal with pretty heavy subjects and would absolutely be full on horror, as is tradition with CoC.
I'd be interested.
Came close but never played in a CoC game, but love the setting.
Magnus Archives sounds like a hoot as well!
My assumption was the best to use would be 7th, which I think is the latest? That’s the one I have access to, anyway, though I do need to actually learn how to play it. That’s part of why I want to do this, I’ve heard great things about the system.
I'm assuming you're aware of this:

As a matter of fact I am! I have heard it is not fully supported yet, and it's an overall better decision and experience to use CoC for the vibe I'm going for. Thank you, though!
Love the Magnus Archives. Dotting for interest!
Interested, but there is a caveat. I may need a refresher on character creation .The last CoC game I was in was years ago, fairly brief, and I had a lot of help from our keeper creating the characters (I was new to TTRPGs at the time).
But if that's a hurdle you're willing to jump over, hell yeah let's go.
Reading the investigator's handbook as I write this.
Luckily for you, I know nothing about the system (yet)! I will be learning right alongside you, so newcomers are extremely welcome.

I'm in luck, I have the 7th edition in pdf.
Alright. So I know NOTHING about Magnus Archives. Should I read up on that a bit? Or can you give a brief rundown of what you are intending to do initial scenario-wise?
So that I can start looking into investigator options Or rather what should be avoided? For example, (picking a random occupation here) a Mountain Climber would make no sense in this setting.
When I put up the actual recruitment thread (which I expect to be tomorrow), I’ll include plenty of details about the setting and such.
The Magnus Archives is an audio drama/podcast, and I won’t mind if you have listened to it and know what’s up. But it’s also good that you haven’t, so don’t worry about that at all!
Need to do a lot more research, it turns out, so expect the recruitment post in a week or two.
DOT for a CoC 7th edition game.
