Re: Out of Character discussion
I don't want to share anything I'm not supposed to on this site, but I googled "Call of Cthulhu 5th edition pdf" and it was the top link. Just only read the Player's section.Stirling wrote:Share the link
Re: Out of Character discussion
Has anyone checked this game out?
The Cthulhu Hack
It's based off The Black Hack, which is a pretty elegant little OSR system.

Time in the hotel room after work, ha ha ha! I was dreaming ...ken-do-nim wrote:I'm hoping while I'm in Atlanta to focus on writing more of the Desecrated Graveyard adventure. It has gone beyond the point where it can be played in a 4 hour convention slot, which is partly unfortunate because that's what I designed it for originally, but it does mean the final playtest before publication might well be a play-by-post here.Pulpatoon wrote:B/X?
There's just not enough B/X in my life. I even made a point of not examining the OPD you posted, in case it became the basis for a future campaign.
I also want to get started on a higher level B/X adventure tentatively titled The Dragon's Lost Treasure.

It's the 20s! You could smoke in the middle of surgery!gaylord500 wrote:Aloysius TaftAloysius considers lighting up, but it's probably not a good idea to do it inside. In expectation, the unlit cigarette is being twiddled by the fingers of his left hand.

Re: Out of Character discussion
Not all that long ago, you could smoke in the hospital still. When I started it was no longer allowed but I work with people who were around when the OR lounge would be filled with a cloud of smoke.
On June 29th I will be participating in another 24 hour game of Dungeons & Dragons as part of Extra Life. This organization uses gaming to help raise money to donate to children's hospitals. I'm raising money for Marshfield Children's Hospital in Marshfield, WI, and all money I raise will go to that hospital. All donations are tax-deductible. Please take a moment to check out my donation page below. Thank you.

I was used to the majority of hospital worker smokers being respiratory therapists.

No worries. I was thinking more along the lines of flammability than social anything. Fire around dry newspapers seemed like a bad idea.

Re: Out of Character discussion
Hi all, Memorial Day weekend is upon us! I'm taking the family up to North Conway New Hampshire to visit the Storyland theme park. We'll start the adventure out to Ross' Corners next week.
Re: Out of Character discussion
I'll be out of town until Sunday. Please NPC Dr. Pale. And good luck! Don't go staring at any invisible whistling octopodes!

Sorry guys, my brain's been on vacation mode as far as rpgs are concerned. I'll get back to our game soon, sorry! Happens to me every spring.

Re: Out of Character discussion
I am definitely itching to get back to the game; I just haven't had the time recently. I hope to get us back on track soon.ken-do-nim wrote:Sorry guys, my brain's been on vacation mode as far as rpgs are concerned. I'll get back to our game soon, sorry! Happens to me every spring.
Re: Out of Character discussion
No worries. Thanks for the update!
It's odd—of the way-too-many games I'm in, all but one are GM-in-absentia, right now. I think I lot of people are having busy summers.
Anyway, take your time, and know that we're expecting your brain to be brimming with a backlog of horrible things when you get back.

I will need to bow out gracefully from the game. You may do with the Hyacinth character as you wish (make an example of her). Thank you for the opportunity, ken-do-nim, and I wish your game the best.

Re: Out of Character discussion
Yeah, that's what happens when I let the game stagnate. Thanks for being classy about it. To everyone else, thanks for sticking with me. Every year my rpg life slows to a crawl in the summer; I guarantee we'll pick back up with a vengeance in September.coil23 wrote:I will need to bow out gracefully from the game.

And let me go get the show back on the road!

Re: Out of Character discussion
Guess where I am posting from ... I am at terminal E of Logan Airport, preparing for an 8 day journey to Italy. Normally this is where people say they will be unavailable during their vacation, but I'm actually hoping for the opposite.
Re: Out of Character discussion
Molto bene! Enjoy!
