OOC - Campaign Talk

At last the stars are almost right!

Soon Nyarlathotep's plans will come to fruition. Then the world will be changed irrevocably — but not quite yet. Pesky human investigators have learned much. Now they must survive long enough to make sense of what they know, and take resolute action.

Masks of Nyarlathotep is a Lovecraftian exercise in horror and mystery. This Call of Cthulhu roleplaying classic is a series of linked adventures forming one long and unforgettable campaign. Horrifying deeds and dangerous sorcery dog those who dare attempt to unravel the fate of the Carlyle Expedition

While this game will begin in the first part of 1925 in New York City. I plan on some prologue vignettes in which the characters build relationships with each other and with Jackson Elias. I have posted important information about Jackson Elias in the NPC thread.

Character creation will be standard for the 6th edition rules. If you roll up a terrible character, I will allow a reroll.

Mr. Handy, Amy Lawrence is a great character and will fit perfectly into the campaign.

I'll need a few days to read and prepare. As soon as I'm ready I'll post the character, perhaps around next weekend if that's fine for you.

Ok sound good.

Make sure you have some connection with Jackson Elias. The NPC that I posted.

Could someone look up the Occupational skills for the Explorer?
I can't find my Investigator's Companion.

Cheers!

Sounds good.
Would you mind if I added Anthropology and Sneak to that list?

Hello chaps, Dave here, will be lurking to see what terrific fun you're going to have.
(You do know that Carnage_Lee has updated his Dhole house Character Generator, right?)

My manners are out the door. Welcome to the boards, Quatermass & Overlord87!
Nods at Mr.Handy and Dr.Peterson 8-)

Well you could drop one of the skills (Swim maybe) and then use your skill of your choice to get those two skills.

Why do I get the feeling that a Swim check is going to be the instrumental point in this campaign? :)

Hey Dave, long time no see!

And no, I didn't know.
I'll go check it out forthwith.



Edit: Alas, no Explorer profession!

Oh, good, I have points in Swim! Too bad I can't fight. ;)

Welcome back, Dave! :D

The Investigator's Companion lists the following skills for Explorer: Climb, Dodge, Firearms, First Aid, History, Jump, Medicine, Natural History, Navigate, Other Language, Photography, Swim, possibly Archaeology, Anthropology, or other scholarly skill. This is more than eight skills, but I'd guess you'd just choose a selection. The 7th Edition occupational skill list for Explorer (from The Well of Sacrifice) is: Climb or Swim, Firearms, History, Jump, Natural World, Navigate, Other Language, and Survival. All of the gun skills got folded into FIrearms in 7th, Natural World is Natural History, and Survival is a new skill added in that edition.

Quatermass,
would your prefer my taking your toned down occupation list, or do I take the Swim-heavy list from the Companion? :)

The 6th edition lists pretty much have 8 occupational skills. I would prefer that. As long as you have 8 that's fine by me.
