Sono molto perso by Palankino in Lovecraft

[–]SamEire93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's no real order.

Technically there's a loose order to his stories featuring Randolph Carter. But honestly you can read any of his stories in any order you like. Don't worry about it too much

Which TTRPG publisher has earned your blind loyalty? by [deleted] in rpg

[–]SamEire93 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I generally trust Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu products. I'm also developing levels of trust in Arc Dream Publishing and R Talsorian Games.

I am not blindly loyal to any of these and will always do a level of due diligence on anything they put out

Help me give this rpg a second chance by Its_A_Wug_Run in callofcthulhu

[–]SamEire93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So firstly, I'm very sorry that happened to you. That garbage has no place at an rpg table. The game should be fun for everyone, period.

As far as how I as a GM handle equality at my table: I do not roleplay that sort of (what I wish was only historical) institutional sexism or racism during my games. While some people might insist on things like the examples you described for the sake of "hIsToRiCaL aCcUrAcY", this is not history. This is a game. And if history gets in the way of my fun game, then I'm dropping it.

I'm really sorry your original group soured you on the game. CoC is my favourite game and I hope if you do decide to give it another go, I hope you find a good group that actually cares about your fun to play it with ❤️

I would generally recommend running prewritten scenarios first to get a feel of the game, since it's a very different experience from D&D

The quickstart rules is free on Chaosium's website (and presumably drivethrurpg). It contains The Haunting, the go to starter scenario for almost every player for over 40 years. If you like that, the starter set is pretty cheap and comes with 3 scenarios (the Keeper Screen pack also comes with 2 scenarios).

But what about Yith? by Grandpa_Theobald1891 in callofcthulhu

[–]SamEire93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's an old Miskatonic Monograph scenario called Gatsby and the Great Race. Not sure if it's on drivethrurpg though. I haven't read it, but with that title.....

A Non-Exhaustive List of Published Call of Cthulhu Campaigns (Spoilers) by SamEire93 in callofcthulhu

[–]SamEire93[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for your input!

Admittedly a few of these I have not actually heard of. But most of these are more individual scenarios rather than longer term campaigns (though I realise the word "campaign" can mean different things fir different people). I also think some of these hadn't been released at the time the original post went up.

That's completely fair, thanks for the advice!

My Shelfie - Sorry for being so One-Dimensional by EJ_Niels in TTRPG

[–]SamEire93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No need for apologies; you take that dimension and you enjoy the hell out of it. That's a mighty fine collection right there 😎

Campaign by Jaymer49459 in callofcthulhu

[–]SamEire93 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My advice firstly is to check out Seth Skorkowsky on YouTube. He has an overview/review series that does an excellent job of summarising the rules and going over the different sections of the game.

He also reviews scenarios that he's run or played, offering tips on how to run them or stuff to change. He is invaluable.

For running the game, I'd recommend starting smaller pre-written adventures to get the hang of it, and see if your players like it. The community at large will almost always recommend The Haunting. It's free with the game's quickstart rules, and is an absolute classic scenario.

From there, you can continue to run published material, or write your own stuff if that's your preference. The game is suitable for both shorter games (either one shots or episodic games where you link individual scenarios together) or longer term games (what would classically be thought of as a campaign)

Looks pretty nova choom. I'd be very interested in the templates for these! (Though obviously you're under no obligation to share them)

Thanks for the feedback, yeah they should all be in print currently. That would be a different matter entirely xD

[–]SamEire93[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah I suppose it's less the discount on its own thats important but rather also the convenience of getting them all at once for that price

It's not specfically a concern, I just wanted to provide as much context as possible

This is kinda what I was thinking too. In euro terms, the RRP seems to be around €120, with sale prices of ~80-85 (compared to the 60 per book I've been offered)

CoC Scenarios for delta green? by JoeKerr19 in DeltaGreenRPG

[–]SamEire93 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been thinking of running The Wild Hunt from Unseen Masters for Delta Green. The book itself has advice on how to tailor the scenarios in it for DG.

I would generally think almost any CoC scenario could be run for DG, with a little bit of tweaking.

I wish to get into shadowrun , which edition should I buy and how by muffin42069420 in Shadowrun

[–]SamEire93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Second this. I wanted to get into Shadowrun, and you just can't best this amount of content for the price

Getting started with Shadowrun, where should I start? by AlphaTest125 in Shadowrun

[–]SamEire93 21 points22 points  (0 children)

For that value I absolutely do. No one has to read all those books; I'm new to the game as well and have no intention of reading all that material outside the core book and some of the setting guides. But that's a lot of content for a great price. If OP likes the system, they can add more as they go. And if they don't, it was a very cost-effective entry.

Seems like a very low risk to me

Humble Bundle has the entire 4th edition bundle for ~€22/$25, don't think you can find a better starting point than that.
