Hi! I'm new here and ready to play whatever Call of Cthulhu scenario available. Jaded to see whatever is in store. Whichever setting is available, historical, apocalyptic, fantasty, sci fi, etc.

I'm sure Mr Handy and Laraquawill offer you a spot in Shadow over Dunwich and Last Express, respectively, but I'll suggest you be ambitious and message them first!

Welcome, Charles! I've validated you, so now you can post on the game boards. You'd be welcome to join my games, and I'm more than happy to take on new players. All of my games are well underway and only one is currently active. That one is The Shadow Over Dunwich, the third adventure in my Doctor Who/Call of Cthulhu campaign, which is a UNIT adventure set in 1985 Dunwich, England. No knowledge of the first two adventures is needed to play, but you can read them in the Hall of Fame if you like. You don't even need to do any catching up if you join, as I can introduce a new UNIT character at this point. No knowledge of Doctor Who is required, and there's a thread detailing everything you need to know about UNIT. If you don't mind doing back reading, there are a couple of abandoned characters, and you could take over one. We're approaching the endgame, which will hopefully be completed within a few months. After that, I plan to start the fourth adventure, a Cthulhu Invictus scenario set in the late Roman Republic that I call The Brotherhood of Death. However, I doubt that will start until next spring.

I also run Zombie Apocalypse, a modern near-future non-Mythos game, though with a similar mythology. However, only one of the players has posted since mid-August. There was also Space Oddity, based on Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes and set in 1969 Philadelphia, but that has been dead for several months, as all of the players have disappeared.

Greetings and thank you! All of the campaigns sound fascinating, a Doctor Who and Call of Cthulhu hybrid sound very interesting along with Cthulhu Invictus. I feel more akin towards the pulp like stories. Also I have a thorough idea for my character for the UNIT adventure set. I believe I will be comfortable with a Medical Officer or any occupation that is similar to a medical profession.

You're welcome, and welcome aboard! Yes, a medical officer would be suitable, as would a soldier who happens to be a medic. We already have a couple of medical characters, but you can never have too many! Your Career in U.N.I.T. has various templates for occupations, including medical officers, as well as background on UNIT. You can build and post your character in the Character Creation/Rules thread, and you can ask questions there if you need help. There's no rush, as I'll be away at a convention from tomorrow until Sunday night. I'll have my laptop and Internet access, but I probably won't have time to post.
