African Adventures

[cthulhufhtagn]

Looking for 3-6 players for various adventures in Africa, starting in northern Africa. The campaign will begin and end in Arkham, but the overwhelming majority of the time will be spent in various locations in Africa.

1920's, Call of Cthulhu normal rulesystem. The campaign will be a mixture of home-made and published scenarios.

I'll need investigator backgrounds. In addition, we'll have to (you can, or I will) establish some connection (he'd have to trust your investigator) between your investigator and Grant Schmidt, an elderly, well-to-do, explorer/photographer who earned his fame exploring parts of Africa where few outsiders have been. His parents were native German aristocrats who moved to America for reasons unknown.

Thanks!

OK, we have one so far.

I'm interested.

What kind of posting rate per week are you expecting? I may have an open spot...

I'm able to post 3/4 times a week and fancy a bit o' jungle-bashing so let me know if you need another player.

[cthulhufhtagn]

The posting frequency will depend on the players. I'm able to post at the most 2-3 times per day. If we don't get any more takers soon, I'll get this started. In the meantime, does anyone have any questions? Also, for those who haven't given me character info, do you want to provide that?

I'm interested as another game I play in went into a long hold so I can play in a new game.
I'm trying to post 1 or 2 posts per day but there are rare times when I post 1 per two days

cthulhufhtagn , I sent you a pm regarding characters but I don't know if it got sent properly. Let me know if not. Do you want rolled characters or just backgrounds?

[Pyratani]

I'd be glad to join in if there's still room.... I'm a little new to this site, but I've played quite a few Cthulhu games on RPol...

[Pickman37]

For a character, I'm looking at either an anthropologist, studying ancient African tribes, or a Hollywood actor, on the verge of a breakdown from fame, and looking at taking a sabbatical in Africa to do research for his next role (A method-type actor who takes his art too seriously or is he going up river like a Kurtz-like character?). Anyways, leaning towards the latter....

I'm interested in playing either a big-game hunter who has guided Grant Schmidt on a previous expedition. He knows Africa well but would be out of place in Arkham. Or Schmidt's young niece who is a photographer/archeologist type and assists him with his work. I think I'd like the first one slightly more than the niece.

I think I will take the role of a simple porter. A big athletic man with high STR.

I've taken Grant Schmidt's photographer niece already

In that case, R. P. Jerome, Great White Hunter, at your service.

Elsie Schmidt, ambitious young photographer. Pleased to meet you.
