The Haunting with a couple twists

Post by BenTheRat »

I know The Haunting has been run here a couple times, but its been awhile. We seem to be getting several newer players who are fairly new to CoC, and this is about as short and easy a mod as any to jump into. It is a classic and should be a lot of fun as long as we don't have a spoiler who knows it inside and out, though I do have a couple changes just to keep anyone from ruining it.

I'm planning on running this live at a con next year, so I'm going to take this as a trial run to help me out as well.

I'm planning on running 6th ed. And would like 4-8 players.
I'd like players to post every other day on average and would like to get this finished by the new year if not sooner.

Please post if you'd like to join in.

I am DEFINITELY interested. I have read Edge of Darkness and Dead Man Stomp but not The Haunting.

Sign me up! Just let me know how you wanna handle character creation.

That was fast. Well that is 3, I hope to get at least 4 but I think we can go ahead and get things up and running and started.

So if one of the Mods can set me up a game in Classic Era called "The Rat's Haunting"

I'm looking forward to this and hopefully will make a great game for the forum.

We will be using Invis Castle for all dice rolling. http://invisiblecastle.com/
So get an account, and you can play with it a bit.

Once the forum is setup, I'll go in a bit deeper on how to roll, what I expect, and how I'll be running the game.

I've set up the forum here and made you the Keeper for it. I used the blurb from the original run of The Haunting (in which I was a player), but I can change it if you like. Enjoy, and I look forward to reading it!

I need more games to play, and I'd like to get in at ground level so to speak. I've actually run The Haunting several times, though... would you have a problem with that?

I don't have a problem with it as long as you don't spoil it for other players, I.e. Don't touch that, type of statements. And also, I've changed a few things in it, so don't expect things to work how they worked for you, or complain because that's not supposed to happen type of things. And try and let the other players come up with the ideas of what to do. If you are leading them around by a nose ring, its not much fun for anyone.

I hope all that makes sense.

So if you can keep OOC knowledge separated, welcome aboard.

Hey I'm new around here.

I'd like to join your game if you're still opening slots?

Most of my CoC experience is based around DeltaGreen, I've hardly played any classic era but that shouldn't be a hindrance.

Cheers
PG
Yeah, well, sometimes nothin' can be a real cool hand.

Sandwich, right now the game is full. But that might change, if it does I'll let you know. There are lots of other cool games looking for players. Good luck and welcome to the boards.
