Is that your self-introduction or your CoC character? ;)

If you find a game and play a while I think you'll get into it pretty soon. Have a look to which games are open.

I think the procedure is to post a call for players here: viewforum.php?f=39

And then make a post with the title and the description of the game, an admin will use these to create a forum for you.

Welcome, ajcesq! I've validated you, so now you can post on the game boards. I'm not currently running a Gaslight or Classic era game. I do have plans for a Gaslight scenario as part of my Doctor Who/Call of Cthulhu campaign, but it'll be years before I get to it. If you do run one, I'd be interested in playing.

Evil_scientist has it right. I'm an admin, and I'm usually the one who creates new boards for the games.
Doctor Who/CoC Campaign:
(viewforum.php?f=176)The Terror Out of Time
(viewforum.php?f=191)]The Ninth Planet
The Shadow Over Dunwich
The Brotherhood of Death
The Horror in the Blackout
The Masque of Nyarlathotep

Nothing looks open. Am I looking in the wrong place?

You're welcome! You can find games to join in Existing Games Looking for Players and in ...I'm Thinking of Running a Game. There are a few games just starting up that you could still join there, or you could join one in progress if you like.

You'd be welcome to join my games as well. I'm running a Cthulhu Invictus scenario called The Brotherhood of Death which is set in 44 BC Rome. It's most of the way through, but it wouldn't be too hard to catch up on it. I could use someone to take over an abandoned character. This is the fourth scenario in my Doctor Who/Call of Cthulhu campaign, but you don't need to know anything about Doctor Who or the first three adventures to play. If you do want to read the first three adventures, you can find them in the Hall of Fame via the links in my signature. After this adventure concludes, which should be in the next few months, I plan to start a new one.

I've also brought back Zombie Apocalypse, a long-running game that stalled when all of the players stopped posting, after a lengthy hiatus. It's non-Mythos, but it uses the Call of Cthulhu rules and has its own similar mythology. It's set in the nebulous near future at the start of the zombie outbreak. It's survival horror rather than investigative horror. While a lot has happened, it's still early on the second day, so you could jump in without too much catching up (unless you take over characters who have been around for a long time). Currently the game has stalled again. You can find the recruitment thread here, and the game itself is here.
