The Masks of Nyarlathotep (again) 5.5/6th Edition Rules

I'm about to begin a second attempt at running the classic campaign The Masks of Nyarlathotep on these forums.

My previous attempt is in the graveyard, it's several thousand posts long and we had a blast almost completing two chapters. It was without a doubt the best roleplaying experience that I've ever had either online or face to face, but sadly real life intervened at we never managed to finish.

I hope that I have learned some lessons, and I am determined to see this epic campaign through to the end this time.

I already have 4 players from the looks of things from my post in the welcome forum, so I am looking for two more players. I'm hoping to kick off the new campaign within the next two weeks (hopefully next week).

Once all six players are known we'll need to tweak investigator backgrounds so that you know each other and / or two of the important NPCs, so please do not get too carried away with backgrounds although you're welcome to post character concepts.

I'm one of the four players who have already joined. I'll be playing Amy Lawrence, a character I created for an earlier attempt at Masks that never got off the ground. I can't wait to get started! :D

Hey there, I'd live to join and will play anything required. I am a guaranteed serial, regular poster!

Cheers,

Andy

Raiko, I'd be down to play in your Masks game.

It seems I'm too late, but if you need a player, count with me.

Okay recruitment is closed for now.

@kabukiman, I'll start the game with seven if necessary, so you're in. :)

I'll update this thread in the next 24 hours with more information about the situation at the beginning of the campaign to help you with character ideas, and I'll post details of the two NPCs who you will already need to know.

The game forum will be up shortly... :) (It's up now! Character Creation Thread: viewtopic.php?f=346&t=5521)

I'm really, really sorry Anatomist, but 6-7 really must be my limit. Otherwise I'd have loved to have you in my game. :( I didn't expect the places to go so fast, four had gone when I just said hello in the Welcome Forum!

It's entirely possible that one of the players won't actually be able to play, in which case you're the first reserve.
