Masks of Nyarlathotep Needs Victims
And at the last from inner Egypt came
The strange dark One to whom the fellahs bowed;
Silent and lean and cryptically proud,
And wrapped in fabrics red as sunset flame.
Throngs pressed around, frantic for his commands,
But leaving, could not tell what they had heard;
While through the nations spread the awestruck word
That wild beasts followed him and licked his hands.
Soon from the sea a noxious birth began;
Forgotten lands with weedy spires of gold;
The ground was cleft, and mad auroras rolled
Down on the quaking citadels of man.
Then, crushing what he chanced to mould in play,
The idiot Chaos blew Earth's dust away.

Hello I would like to run a Complete Masks of Nyarlathotep game using Call of Cthulhu rules. Wanted: Three to Five stout adventurers to unravel the fate of the doomed Carlyle Expedition. The campaign, set in 1925, is a Lovecraftian exercise in horror and mystery. Play begins in New York City. This is a classic and great campaign. I hope to do it justice.
There will be a healthy mix of investigation, mystery, role-play, and terror filled combat. All player characters should be connected in someway with each other and/or Jackson Elias, a author who specializes in writing about death cults such the Thuggees or Amazonean headhunters. The players will come up with these connections as they build their characters.
This is a long campaign and I promise to keep it going as long as there are players who want to play. Players should be able post at least 4 times a week.

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep Needs Victims
PS, I know I am crazy to try and run this monster.
Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep Needs Victims
I'm crazy enough to want to play this from the beginning and see it through all the way to the end! I'm already in Raiko's Masks game, but that's been stalled for quite some time. I've only seen selected parts of the London chapter, where I play a Scotland Yard detective. I haven't played any of New York yet, though I have been exposed to some spoilers. If Raiko's game picks up again, I'll find some way to juggle both of them.

Count me in as three games I play over here died.
Never played or DMed this one before so you'll have fresh meat for this one.

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep Needs Victims
I'd like to get in on this as well... I was in Raikos as well (but not long enough for any spoilers...).

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep Needs Victims
The forum is all set up here! I've also made you a Keeper, complete with spiffy new blue username.
Looking forward to getting started! I already have a character idea, and I should be able to get my character created this weekend at the latest.

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep Needs Victims
I’m out for a vacation. I will have limited access until Monday and resume full posting in a week from now.
In the meantime I will think of a character and post it soon.

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep Needs Victims
Ah Gomez, it's so good to see you back creating chaos and destruction!
I really would like to participate in a classic game with Mr. Handy (and others), so please add me to your alternates list. I have a general idea of chapter 1 of Masks, but of course would play my character as if they were completely unaware. And, as you might guess, I'd be around for the long haul.
CHARACTER CONCEPT: Athlete - Semi-pro baseball player, recently released by his team for alcohol abuse, and now working as an orderly at nearby hospital (slight medical / trauma healing knowledge).
Thanks so much and...
Game on!
Job.

Re: Masks of Nyarlathotep Needs Victims
Welcome the forums Gomez!
It's great to have you on here running Masks, your first Enworld Masks game was a great source of inspiration to me when I began my games on here (together with Job's BtMoM over there). So I think it's fantastic that you are both running campaigns on here now.
@rbiddle: The pregen character that you were running in my game was taken from a preview of the MoN Companion, rather than the actual campaign. Nether her nor missing friend are actual Masks characters. So little of what she knew is actual spoiler material.
@Gomez: Whatever I choose to do with my Masks game, I wish you the very best of luck with your own game!

Regarding my own long suffering Masks campaign, I've only been back online here for a couple of days so far, so I've not yet decided what to do with the game, but given how little each of you know of the campaign, I would definitely recommend that you drop my game and jump at the chance to play it from the beginning with Gomez. The New York chapter is great so don't miss out.rbiddle wrote:I'd like to get in on this as well... I was in Raikos as well (but not long enough for any spoilers...).
