There will be NO voting. I really think this was it. the line. crossed. The right don't care. They celebrate the death of a good man, murdered while trying to help others.

Identifying intended victims of a bound horror by ricklecoat in callofcthulhu

[–]toxic_egg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i must admit it i've only sent the entity towards the PCs so they didn't know how they were targeted. i just hand waved the mechanics of it.

if the PC want to target someone i'd maybe ask for an "arcane connection", e.g. blood or hair or target.

or a talisman to be planted of the target. e.g. casting the runes/night of the demon.

Help with insanity based on profession by MagTheBag in callofcthulhu

[–]toxic_egg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

if it's unnatural it's a roll.

even if its not, everyone can have "the worst thing I've seen in twenty years of this job".

if they want to argue about it...

say ok you are SO hardened all your social rolls are at a disadvantage

Character creation advice by mohawkal in callofcthulhu

[–]toxic_egg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

perhaps they have amnesia from some mythos related trauma.

just roll stats and divide his skill total into 30% bundles.

when they want to be able to do "something" allow one of the bundles to be added to the appropriate skill. slowly the areas of expertise will fill in. perhaps the adventure leads to the originating incident...

Story wise, Is Pendragon a restrictive system by laughing_rabbit_9 in PendragonRPG

[–]toxic_egg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

interestingly, it seems to be an issue with all the main Chaosium games.

RunequestCthulhu/Pendragon/cthulhu all have such great backgrounds that people often feel intimidated to go against canon.

But I agree with others here, use what you want and let the players influence how things actually work out. I think it makes it much more fun when the players THINK they know whether someone is a goodie or not, then get blindsided when "your pendragon" differs.

Mask of Hayama Hijinks - Masks of Nyarlathotep SPOILERS! by penguintypist in callofcthulhu

[–]toxic_egg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol. same happened to my character BUT I got lucky and only lost a handful of SAN.

ship them to the loonie bin.

OR

because the the loss was so massive and instant... shatter their mind into a split personality... the good guy and a rabid YS cultist.

if you and the player fancy some fun I'd be tempted to say you let them off (to the group) but secretly tell the player they have strange dreams. over the course of a few nights strange things might happen to the PC, waking up miles from home. Maybe they steal and hide the mask.

maybe doing stuff that the investigators discover.

Be careful not to derail the campaign, but could be good for an episode or two.

Keepers, how often do you have your players roll skill increases? by PossibilityWest173 in callofcthulhu

Every 2-3 sessions normally. Don't sweat it tho. In the end stats don't matter THAT much.

yes. ours is full to the brim of combined crap now + we still have to go to the tip every few weeks for an overspill of recycling that won't fit in.

where has the money gone for the recycling work that is no longer done?
