Fog over Buenos Aires - Classic Era anno 1930

[Anatomist]

Recruiting 1-2 players (June 2009) - Drop a post if interested in joining. Starting at lvl 3*

Hi everyone. Im taking a big step here, at least if feels like a big step.
Im seeking players that want to join me in a CoC game where i will be at wheel as GM. Ive not been a GM before, but i guess i have to start somewhere/sometime
I have over 10 years of roll experience in real life and the last 3 years at various rolleplaying boards.

Fog over Buenos Aires - CoC D20 System.

First. As it is my first time as GM i will not take more then 3 players on a short game to get a fell of it in a pbp game. The story might evolve to a bigger and longer campaign if the players and myself feel im up to the task.

Second. My first language is not english so bear with my typos and bad spelling/grammar

* The game will be sett to Buenos Aires, Argentina in the Classic Era anno 1930'ish.
* First i want to see a character concept.
* Some connection to the city of Buenos Aires is a prerequisite.
* 26 points to buy stats. Make the character as you want but you got the option of using this http://www.pathguy.com/cthulhu.htm
* I want to keep it simple so you are bound to one meele and one range weapon, having to choose from meele: Hunting knife, Machete or
Baseball bat and Ranged: Generic handgun, rifle or shotgun. Choose what you want but you will need a good reason for having a ranged weapon
* Wealth Rules: Use invisible Castle/roller/. If you roll 1-3 re-roll the dice. I want every profession to get at least half of the max wealth amount.
* When using Invisible Castle Use the full name of the character every time.
* Im gonna handle the dice rolling unless something else is said

Third. When you want to use a skill use a * symbol and the skill name and i will roll the dice for you.

You saw a flash of light and a thunder rolled in from the sea. You feel dissy that night, the feeling getting worse as the fog creeps up from the port, nightmares of sea creatures engulfing your soul torments your mind. You awake with a sudden jerk to the morning sun. You dont know how or why but you remember a paper article about a mystic doctor claiming to see trough dreams the past, present and future of mankind.

You arrive at the La Nacion Argentina newspaper by foot from your hostel. You see press corps at their cars waiting for a call to rush off, a street musician is playing a tango tune on his accordion at the corner your at. Some people are listening and nodding at the skill the musician have. He sing with a raspy voice a tune about love and despair, his voice bears years of alcohol abuse.

Questions?

Already got 1/3 players.

This is a game that has been played at EnWorld.org boards, but im moving it over to YSDC because its very hard to get people over there to join a CoC game. That said you do not need to know the background of the story as the characters will be better of not knowing to much for metagaming aspects, etc.

Make a D20 system character lvl 3 and send it to me via PM. Welcome aboard

It is a wise choice to move your game to these boards.
I had been much happier to play using Chaosium rules but D20 is good enough.
So ... can I keep my D20 professor or do you want me to switch a character ?
