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

Can I use the same character from Raiko campaign? It's an archaeologist. Or should I create a new one?

That would be fine. Mr.Handy's character is a archaeology student but two in the group would be ok I think.

edit - Ah they are both from Raiko's campaign and already have a connection. Very good!

With Syrinx and kabukiman joining that makes six player characters. That will be my limit and it gives us some flexablity in case we have someone drop out.

thanks ok. :D

What occupation did you use? I don't see a Reasearcher.
And you just have 7 occupational skills, you should have 8.

I think what we did was use the private as the basis for the student/clerk concept, the profession was an enlistee in the army. Looking at his bio, I suspect the 8th should be appraise and some percentage in that. BUT, now I am not sure what that percentage should be Quartermass. I put a * by that in the character sheet as an edit to just let it be identified.

Just because you have eight occupational skills doesn't mean you have to put points into all of them, so that should be fine. One thing to keep in mind is that some work still needs to be done to finish converting him from 7th to 6th edition. The skill list and base levels are different. Appraise doesn't even exist in 6th edition.

Welcome, Syrinx and Kabukiman! :D

Amy is a history student, though she has studied some archaeology. Michael is much better at it than she is, but she has other areas where she excels. There's some overlap, but that gives us some depth on our team, and they're different enough characters.

Thanks Handy, so I copied over the skill list from your character then transferred the points from Artemis' 7th sheet. I made notes and hope you and Quatermass can take a look at how I did it and if it makes sense. Appreciate the critique and the hope.

Master Quatermass, is my jpg sufficient or do you want a text transfer as per Mr. Handy's guide?
Thanks for the welcome back, guys.

As briefly put in the description of
Mr Thomson, he is waiting for a meeting with Jonah Kensington at the N.Y. office. He has hung his winter coat on a wooden butler and a bowler hat next to it. A manilla folder is being nursed in his lap as he eyes a secretary typing away at a Remington. He smiles at her and pats the folder. February always makes Gerald wish he was in Capetown. New York always dreary and damp. Beats Dublin, though. The mists of the hills of green have a mystery he always had liked, but the chill that came with the fog he could live without.

Well, weather is what makes life changeable. Like seasons of life itself. He likes to think he's experiencing an early fall, personally. Who admires the early summers of the opposite sex. Even late spring at times.

The secretary would classify as a July.

An African Queen has just registered at the site. She'll probably stumble in here at some time.
It would be nice to broaden the geographical spectrum of our crew to mimic the game itself.
Just my two cents.
