Participant's Name: Walt "Walthulhu" Batycki
Position Preferred: Investigator

Experience w/ CoC: I haven't played in 10 years but used to be the keeper in a few campaigns. I ran two Gen Con Cthulhu events in the 80's. I have never played as an investigator.

Experience w/ PBP: I have never played by mail or email.

Era Preferred: 1920's is my favorite. I am willing to play a modern campaign though.

System Preferred: Classic Chaosium Cthulhu. I'm not into the D20 jazz.

Willing to be Keeper: Time permiting. I have a very busy schedule and being a good keeper involves lots of preparation.



I've been reading Lovecraft for over twenty years and played COC for about ten as well as other RPG's. I have alwats been a keeper/game master and enjoye dthat a lot, but think it would be too time consuming right now. I would be willing to possibly run an adventure or two in the future if I had time to prepare something original.

I look forward to gaming with you!

I first ran a PBBB (Play by Bulletin Board) before the 'Net was publicly available and again a couple of years back by email. It was all quite fun and I would be interested in playing (or running) again. I use my own written scenarios and am "rules light" with more involvement in the play.
