Re: Call of Cthulhu RPG
I believe you should do all the dice rolls. No mercy........
But I can't throw, I throw like a geek!

I may at that. Decisions are up to the players; the results are up to the dice. 8)

Re: Call of Cthulhu RPG
For a game that's this brutal, I'd say having the GM do all the rolls would be a good idea.

Re: Call of Cthulhu RPG
Perhaps we should have a list of characters so we have an idea of what areas we have covered and which we might need someone to fill?

Re: Call of Cthulhu RPG
I had asked about that; Tsu might want to allow for an air of mystery about that, to try and make the beginning a bit more organic to the story.

Re: Call of Cthulhu RPG
I'm sure if we needed to, we could communicate basic details to people who would naturally be "in the know" - another professor at Miskatonic U., for example, would have at least a vague knowledge of my professor character, etc.

Re: Call of Cthulhu RPG
I do suppose it'll mean we have some redundancies...for when we start losing people.

Re: Call of Cthulhu RPG
Remember also, that it's characters - not just stats. My Dr. Zelman, for example, will be a much different sort of person than another player's doctor.

Re: Call of Cthulhu RPG
I was thinking of having my doctor as being an army doctor type guy, maybe Boer war era but haven't really thought much of his story yet.

Re: Call of Cthulhu RPG
You'd be mortified at the number of people to whom that fact isn't obvious. @CQ - Cool. I envisioned my doc as of upper-class European descent, focused more on academic research than on practice.
