Re: Carry On Cthulhu!
ok. i'm want to make the rules fast and simple with the maximum potential for slapstick, so heres how character creation will work
first off there will be no skills
gasp! thats right, no skills
instead you roll up your characteristics, with hit points and sanity being worked out as normal.
when the situation calls for it I'll ask for the appropriate characteristic roll (str x5, int x 5) with failure no doubt leading to hilarious consequences
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVQglRWN4Is
in fact we can work out the rolls before hand to make things easier
str x5 will be the Strength roll, dex x 5 the agility roll, pow x 5 the luck roll, app x 5 the charm roll, int x 5 the obsevation roll and edu x 5 the deduction roll. that should cover just about every situation.
in fact, sod even rolling up characteristics. you can each have 90 points to divide among them as you like. you should try and make the scores appropriate to the kind of character your playing.

Re: Carry On Cthulhu!
Still got room for one more? Sounds interesting. But I have to warn you... I may have to take a little time out as I relocate and pick up a new job. Still ... you know how active I am online... I couldn't go without it for too long, so it's one of my major priorities to get my internet up and running after relocating.
Let me know ... and I'll be glad to jump in.

Re: Carry On Cthulhu!
welcome aboard imp
this will be a fun little side project, so having to take the occassional time out shouldnt be a problem
if you read recent posts in the ooc thread of New York Baby it will give you a good idea of what to expect

Re: Carry On Cthulhu!
I'm currently having a bout of temporary insanity, so I decided to give this game a try. I've never seen any of the Carry On movies, but it sounds like that won't be a problem. I'd like to play Professor Randy Jones, noted archaelogist and...*ahem*...man of action.

Re: Carry On Cthulhu!
excellent! welcome Mr Handy, or should i say Randy Jones
that makes five, which is the number of players i was looking for, so i'm closing the offer for now.
we should have a thread soon and we can "Carry On" in there.
