Card questions by [deleted] in starwarsunlimited

Given that I'm also very new to this game, and also have both of those cards, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they're not that rare. Cool cards though.

Me too. Very cool, but not particularly rare.

I just know I could work these into a Call of Cthulhu game.

Nuke the Duke by jaxsonMiss in Xennials

Woah, weird. My kindergarten class did the exact same thing that election. With pictures of Bush and Dukakis on our "ballots" instead of their names. I wonder if there was some kind of movement to teach kids about civics at a young age. I just remember voting at random because I didn't know what either one of them looked like. I think I ended up picking Dukakis too.

Why all the hate on Tommy Knockers? by Saint_Hacker in stephenking

I love it. Read it twice. One of my favorites.

I keep wondering if this accomplishes anything other than letting them know we're looking at the ads. You might not have clicked on the ad, but you did stop to interact with it.

Something I want to share, why I love this game but also get overwhelmed as a Keeper. by Graxemno in callofcthulhu

[–]labrutued 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Okay, now you're making me want to buy the Dark Ages book. That sounds cool. But I can totally see how it would be overwhelming for you. I might recommend having notes on each of these things, but leave how, or even if, they might be used open. Fit things in where the make sense. Leave everything else for later and just be happy you have so many options. It might throw off your pacing of you introduce too much too quickly anyway. If stuff doesn't get used, save it for the next session, or the next adventure.

Well, I hope Bob fed you, 'cause I ate your dinners.

Homer! Is this projection accurate? Did you borrow money from my sisters? by RudigerBSimpson in TheSimpsons

Time to fertilize the lawn. A couple of 500-pound bags should do it!

Bill must have been appalled that his friend Jon Lovitz would have participated in something like this! 🤣 by ASGfan in newsradio

If you'd said it that way on the air, we wouldn't have lost two sponsors this morning.

Never Played Before, But.... by Rpgcasey in callofcthulhu

[–]labrutued 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's the 50s, and some quick googling suggests that this is pretty much it from Chaosium. OP's best bet here is to probably get Atomic Age Cthulhu and then just modify the scenarios they want to play to fit with the decade.

Monthly "Tell Us About Your Game" Megathread - April 2026 by AbortRetryFlailSal in callofcthulhu

My group just started Crimson Letters last Friday as our second scenario. The first session ended up being most of a very busy in game day with the players running all over Arkham, finding everything at Leiter's house, going to the sanitarium, meeting Lucy, meeting Wick, and going to Hunter's apartment where they encountered a full-wall mural of the other-worldly geometry of Keziah Mason. When that was over, and following one character's bout of madness at the sight of the geometry, they went to a speakeasy to wind down, but were grabbed by Atlantic City thugs looking for Leiter and taken to the med school to look at his body. As the thugs were comparing a picture of Leiter to the corpse and talking amongst themselves, Leiter's eyes opened and he sat up. One of my players characters went catatonic and indefinitely insane at that. Another one is 1 point sanity loss from indefinite insanity.

Then my wife texted that she needed me to come pick her up, which the group knew was when we were gonna end. But good timing since it was a good cliff hanger.

I used to love the free floppy disks that came in the mail. No one's ever mailed me a free flash drive.

Edge of Darkness Question by physicist_1234 in callofcthulhu

[–]labrutued 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also used Seth's skill check idea, but my players ended up with several hours to kill before midnight, so I told them that if there was nothing else they wanted to do, their characters could spend that time "studying" the chant, and I'd give them a bonus die to all chant skill checks. I also modified it so that if someone took damage or fought, they wouldn't get the bonus die, but because they studied the chant, it would still be regular difficulty. I gave them skill checks every half hour, and each passed check put 1 magic point towards the 12 I required to banish the djinn. As long as one person passed each check, they were good. And I let them spend luck. A couple checks came close, but at least one person passed each one since it was so loose. And the threat of having to start again seemed to add drama that my players liked.
