Is there a particular character concept you have in mind? Or will any character do?

Obviously we still need quite a few players... People tell their friends

Gerhard Schiller enters the Smoking Car, coming from the Dining Car. Notably, he is alone. He very calmly finds an empty seat and retrieves a silk cigarette from a silver cigarette case, lighting it and taking a few deep drags.

Done and done. Mr. Bates is maybe a little old for 36, but we can say that all those years in the library and the politics of academia have taken their toll

Here you go. I can provide an avatar of your character if you wish. http://i.imgur.com/x4ADbiP.jpg Name: Anthony Piere Player: Xamthos Occupation: Psychology Professor Age: 36 Sex: Male STR: 50 (25/10) DEX: 50 (25/10) INT: 80 (40/16) CON: 60 (30/12) APP: 40 (20/8) POW: 60 (30/12) SIZ: 50 (25/10) EDU...

Welcome, Xamthos! I'm also thinking of running an introductory game for people new to Call of Cthulhu, if you're interested: viewtopic.php?f=39&p=166984#p166984

So unfortunately I disappeared after I first started this account. My apologies for my sudden disappearance, but suffice it to say real life got in the way. I am still a part-time fed and a full-time grad student but now I am also the father of a 11 week-old little girl :D Hoping to get back into th...

In that order?

With a buzz going, Harrison decides to make himself a sandwich and fill his stomach. As he does so, he listens to the others discussing what their next move should be. "Yeah, it sounds like this house is bad news no matter what time of day it is, but I would also feel better checking the place ...

I also apologize for being AWOL. School just started up for me as well, so I have been adjusting to my new schedule. I should be able to post on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays with some frequency now.

http://www.gazillionmovies.com/Actor/C/Cl/Pictures/clifton-webb.jpg . Schiller orders the caviar. When the waiter brings him his meal, he stops the man, leans in and asks quietly in German, "Who is that?" He attempts to discreetly indicate the 12-year-old girl who is being fussed over mor...

"In this world you either work or starve," grumbles Harrison as he walks into the lounge, throwing his hat onto a rack. "Or in the case of writers and poets, you combine the two." He chuckles at his own joke and makes a straight trip to the liquor cabinet, pouring himself a stif...

"Normally I'm a ray of sunshine after almost getting killed by a crazed albino and a murderous piece of furniture and then sleeping in a car," Harrison says, his words dripping with sarcasm. "And far be it from me to deprecate the detective skills of a compadre, discerning that our h...

Harrison raises his eyebrows after Richard briefly replies to them. "That all you found out? Nothing else to go on about this guy? Name? Anything? Sonny here almost got his arms broken trying to catch this guy. You got nothing else to tell us?"

Harrison rubs the sleep from his eyes. Still disturbed from what he saw last night (as well as hung over), he lets out a groan and rubs his temples. He doesn't respond to Sonny's question but instead remains in the car while Sonny calls Richard over. Gradually, though, he gets out of the car and le...

Sanity Roll (55) = success 1d100=28 Harrison absorbs the fact that no actual person threw the bed toward Sonny -- but the bed obviously almost crushed him. A bed flying on its own? It made no sense... But he managed to suppress the shock of it all, the sheer absurdity of it. Could this house really...

Harrison hears a loud thump, like something crashing against a wall. He steps into the doorway, swinging his flashlight around the room. He surveys the scene, seeing Sonny and the bed frame and mattress, clearly thrown against the wall. Confused and clearly jarred, Harrison struggles to make sense ...

Harrison watches with shock as Sonny moves to the window after revealing the albino might be on the roof. "Boy, are you daffy or something?" he whispers, annoyed. "What if he's just waiting for you to stick your head out of there? Let him go! We're being paid to check out the house, ...
