new player looking for a 1920's or modern game

[Scorch]

hello just wondering if any scenarios needed players... im available to play alot until monday..

[Mr. Handy]

Welcome, Scorch! I'm running three games, and you'd be welcome to join any or all of them. None of them are 1920s, but Zombie Apocalypse is modern (though non-Mythos). It's been running for over five and a half years, but has only recently entered the second day of game time. Chapter 7 started a few months ago, but you could join in without too much catching up. Several recently added pregenerated characters are available, and/or you can create one or two of your own.

Space Oddity is also modern. It's set in 1969 Philadelphia and inspired by Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes. Several abandoned characters are available, and you could take one of them over or make your own character.

My Doctor Who/Call of Cthulhu campaign samples a variety of eras. The first game, The Terror Out of Time, took place in 1930 London, but it finished last August. The second game, The Ninth Planet takes place on Pluto in 2112, and it is currently underway. We've just completed Episode 2 and started Episode 3. There are some abandoned characters you could take over if you want to join, but you can't create your own character in that one. The third adventure, The Shadow Over Dunwich, will probably start this summer. It's a UNIT adventure set in 1985, and you'd be able to make your own character in that one.

Play by post games tend to move slowly, so they require a lot of patience. They usually take at least a year to play through to completion.

ummm wow.. hard to get everyone together? well ill look at space oddity i guess..

[Mr. Handy]

The hard part is keeping everyone together. Games usually have a lot of interest and a flurry of posts at first, but they often peter off. Players drop out due to real life, sometimes without even telling the Keeper. There are currently only three players in Space Oddity, one of whom hasn't posted in nearly a month. If you want to take over his character (Detective Jim Hendricks), that could get things moving again. The game has been running for about two and three quarters years now, though it's only the second night in game time. If you're interested, take a look through the Character Sheets thread. If there's an abandoned character that interests you, you can post your choice of which one you want to play in the Character Creation and Discussion thread. That's also where you post to work on a character you create yourself, and to post your completed character sheet when you finish. If you have any questions, feel free to ask in that thread.
