Call of Cthulhu: 6th Edition Looking to Play or DM

Well as the title says I'm interested in either starting up or participating in a Call of Cthulhu Game. I do enjoy roleplaying and I love the mythos / lore of Cthulhu so... yeah. Reply back if you're interested in playing or DMing for this game :)

I'm interested. I've never done it myself so I'd start as a player, but the main reason I want to play is to learn the ropes as I'm buying the actual books in the near future for a local group I'm going to DM. I guess it could work one of two ways: I join a game you create and I either play or spectate, or I start up my own campaign in a few weeks at least so I can get my feet drenched in Cthulhu and set up a good campaign. The best time for me to play would be late at night, as I tend to be busier earlier in the evening. But we can discuss details if it actually happens :)

I’d be interested in playing and do have the books just haven’t had anyone to play it with.

I'd be interested in being a player. I don't have the book,but the PDF. Would that be alright.

I might be interested in playing or running this, what are peoples schedules like?

My time zone is central. I can play at 6:30 or 7:00 pm usually on weekdays but the weekend would be best. On the weekend especially Saturday at 12:00 in the afternoon.

Free most nights my time zone is EST – Eastern Standard Time

Im in Eastern GMT -4 ,I could prolly free up some time Saturdays if that is when everyone else was up for playing, or Thursday nights would work pretty well for me, what GMT - is Central?

Central Time is GMT - 5:00

Oh yeah I would be a beginner at CoC although I have played D&D and I am willing to learn CoC.

I would be a beginner as well, and my time is EST. I can do most days except Mondays and Tuesdays (got other games on those days), late evenings (games beginning 10 or later at night), Sunday evenings from 8 p.m. or later, or early mornings most days, as in games beginning at 8 a.m., as I primarily work evenings/weekends.

So me and Jinsei have decided 10pm thursday GMT -4 would work for both of us, how do other feel about that, also how much do you guys know about the Mythos and such?

Yeah Thursday @ 10pm should work for me. For experience with the Mythos and such I do not know much as I would be a beginner to this, but have the books to help

Okay knowledge of it isn't needed to play, was just curious if you knew any random tidbits about the Cthulhu world.

What time would 10pm thursday GMT -4 that be gmt-5.

Should be 9pm, and do you know anything about the Cthulhu Mythos?

I can make but can only stay for a couple of hours. I will let you know when I can't make it because I am in college ,and sometimes I have tests and I will have to study. I have read Call of Cthulhu and several other of Lovecraft's stories.

If your interested in having a player thats new to both the Cthulhu games and Roll20 in general I would love to join. :) I've read a few of Lovecraft's stories and have always been intrigued in the Cthulhu mythos so I do have some basic knowledge of the universe. My time is at -4 GMT, but I have a very flexible schedule and can most likely play at anytime.

We have been discussing Thursday at 10pm GMT -4 would this time work for you as well? Not really sure what the group size is looking like at the moment though.

That will work fine with me. :) As I've said before my schedule is very flexible so I can join in at anytime. I'm afraid I dont have any of the roleplaying books for reference though so if this is a problem just let me know.

I messaged you :B

what if the story took place in a sci- fi setting but even with all the sci fi weaponry the monsters can't be killed

Cthulhu is a Sci-fi setting, if you mean futuristic, the more advanced the equipment the harder it becomes to set up situations that can't just be teched all over :B

I guess we should go ahead and discuss what time period it will be set in. I think it should probably be set in more modern times or maybe the early 1900's, but I dont have a problem with it being further into the future either. If it were to take place in a more futuristic setting though I dont believe the advanced weaponry we could obtain would still help much though, from what I've heard about in this game weapons don't do anything at all unless its against another human like yourself, against any Cthulhu mythos monster they really provide nothing but a false sense of security.

what about in the 1940's or the 1960's ? Or maybe even the 80's?

Either one sounds good to me. If it's set in either the 40's or 60's then there may the influences of WWII and Vietnam in the story so those can be some things to think about.

Personally I think that the earliest era should be the 1920's

Agreed. While it looks like the game could easilly be set somewhere in the late 1800's, I think anything after the 1920's would be more fun.

I was currently thinking 1920's, but the era is negotiable

Im down with 1920's. :) It keeps the game in the era of when alot of the original stories by Lovecraft were created.

What about the 80's ? Our characters could say tubular or exellent. Seriously though I think the eighties could work. it could take place when the hostage crisis occured with Jimmy Carter.

I don't know how interesting 1980's would be, unless you want to have your character do something with computers, the technology limits would be a bit odd.

Honestly I would like to play it in the 40's just so we can see Nazi's get killed by Clthulu.

I'll go with either one, though i do believe that we should stick with 1920's. It's seems like a really appropriate time for a game like this to be set in and should provide for easier immersion.

Well look at it more in line with what kind of technology/social structure there will be, won't be anywhere near Nazis anyway.

there could be a nazi spy looking for a mythological weapon for Hitler.

I already have the basis of the campaign done (retooling an older one) If you wanna do something with the Hitler angle, I am sure we would all be willing to play in it.

Lol yeah i'll play along, sounds good to have a an odd and slightly silly angle played into all the darkness we'll encounter. Xp

Yeah lets play the 1940's with Nazi spies.

Do you already have a campaign thats involves all of that?

Charles R told me "I already have a campaign, it was made for D20 Modern Halloween a couple years back I just gotta do the maps on roll20 ..."

And it has nothing to do with Nazis.

Perhaps we should go with the one thats already mostly finshed then. If at all possible then we could have the nazi thing be a subplot thats thrown in there if you really want it.

Maybe the Nazi spy thought some kind of mythological power is in the house and discovers that someone is having a Halloween party there.

Just to make sure we are playing CoC 6th edition right.

Yes.

Maybe the Nazi spy thought some kind of mythological power is in the house and discovers that someone is having a Halloween party there. IT CAN BE DONE.

As I said if you want to do something like that, I won't argue it, however I have no real interest in including such things.

So do have a consensus that the game will take place in the 40's if so I want to make my character a either a veteran of WWII someone who was injured and sent home but came across a legend of Cthulhu during his time in the war or a cop who had previously come across the legend in a previous city and who is suspicious of all legends and feels like the creature has somehow watching him.

Gonna be the 20's unless someone else chimes in positively about another era.

I would perfer the 1920's really. The 40's sound like they could be good since you could involve WWII which creates alot of options, but I feel like the 20's is around the time most games and stories from the series should be set in since its more accurate on a literal level with the original stories of Lovecraft's.
