While William Shakespeare's Macbeth this is
not, I felt the line is a suitable beginning to a LFP post. Let’s get right
down to the meat and potatoes, shall we? ·
What game: Call of Cthulhu 7 th
Edition. ·
When: Sunday, June 14. Noon
to 4pm CENTRAL US time. ·
How often: One-shot regular investigation
to start, then (maybe) an every other week Cthulhu campaign. ·
Where: I have a Discord for voice and
questions and Roll20 for our “tabletop”. ·
Me: I’m in my mid-40s (man…I can’t believe I just
typed that out, where has the time gone) and have gamed using so many different
rules in so many different settings I can’t even begin to sum it all up. Let’s
just say I’m “experienced”. ·
You: Available to game. Reliable. A team player. Mature.
Able to role play something other than the crazy barbarian or the strong silent
type. No attention hogs. And not a jerk. Seriously, just don’t be a… jerk.
Also, see considerations. ·
Considerations : To
join you need to understand that i ntolerance is NOT tolerated.
Any sexist, racist and hate speech of any kind is strictly forbidden. I hear
it, you’re done. Also, when you submit your application, you will
write this sentence somewhere in your application: “I didn’t know how they did
it, but after Jacob dropped the toast all hell broke loose.” Did you read the
full post and listen to instructions? Good. Some
Frequently Asked Questions: ·
Q: Have you gamemastered Call of Cthulhu before? ·
A: Many, many years ago. Like late 80s timeframe. ·
Q: What level do we start out at? How should we build
characters? ·
A: There are no levels in Call of Cthulhu. Use the standard
rules for Call of Cthulhu 7 th edition. ·
Q: When is the game? ·
A: Sunday, June 14. Noon to 4pm CENTRAL US time. ·
Q : Does the campaign have a name? Are you running published
material? ·
A: Something wicked
this way comes and here is the LFG posting: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/232347/something-wicked-this-way-comes-dot-dot-dot" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/listing/232347/something-wicked-this-way-comes-dot-dot-dot</a> .
See the whole LFG board <a href="https://app.roll20.net/lfg/search/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/lfg/search/</a> for other games. Am I running published material? YES.
But, not exactly. Once again, this is a one-shot to start. What’s the title?
I’m not telling you. Why? Because why ruin the fun? ·
Q: How long do you plan on running the game? ·
A : I like long running campaigns. I have several D&D
homebrews that have run for a significant period of time as well as Adventure’s
League games. HOWEVER, this is a one-shot regular 7 th edition CoC game
set during modern times. Birth of a campaign? I love the idea. ·
Q: How do I apply? What’s the setting? ·
A : See the How to Apply post below and answer the questions. Normally
I charge for GMing/DMing a game. This session does NOT require payment. When/if
we move to a campaign…maybe. Thanks and I look forward to
talking to you. Aaron How to Apply Keep in mind your character
lives in the Minneapolis/St Paul metropolitan area. You, and your group of
friends, are amateur ghost hunters. Are you serious about it? Or are you just
doing it to kill time on Friday nights instead of hitting the bars? Are you actually
one of the player’s old science teachers and are into ghosts? Did you grow up
hunting in the north woods and loved the ghost stories dad told you and your
brothers around the fire? Are you an accountant for a fortune 500 company and
thought the description of the Meetup Group sounded cool? Or did you laugh at
the idea but your buddy needed a “sound guy” to help record their expeditions? Answer these questions about your
character while keeping in mind the setting: ·
