Key to the Abyss (6th or 7th)

Post by BenTheRat »

Now that my current CoC game is starting to come to an end, I've outlined a side mission that goes with "The Star on the Shore".
While it will be a side mission, the idea is that it can also be run as a standalone.

So I'll be doing that. I'm trying to learn 7th edition, so I'd like to run it as 7th ed, but if everyone wants to stick with 6th edition, that is fine as well.

This should be a very short mission, should be able to finish it in just a few months. Compared to the 3 years it took for Star.

Characters that survived The Star are very welcome to join. I'll be kicking this off as soon as The Star on the Shore finishes.
I think we could do it with 3-6 characters.

I'd like to play. I prefer 6th edition (which also makes it easier to import my character), but I'll still play if it's 7th.

Cool, always love to have you onboard.

While I liked the Cannonball idea, I just cannot seem to make the module work right. Seems very forced.

So I'm using a 2nd idea I had, I think this could be a lot more fun.

Yea, there is room. Glad to have you aboard. I should be starting it up here in a couple weeks.

I do think I'm going back to my original idea. Saving the From the Depths for another day.

I am ready to kick this off. It is written and ready to get started. I'd like minimum of 4 players.

Handy and Cotton you still up for this? Anyone else.

This was written as a side mission for The Star on the Shore, and should be pretty short.

Excellent guys. And I think Vendetta is in as well. He will probably reprise his roll as Richard, and I'm assuming Handy is going to stick with Eddie.

Cotton, did you have a new character in mind. You can also look at the Characters in The Star on the Shore and you can grab any of those except Richard, Eddie and Norman.

I was thinking of running a new character. Would a parapsychologist work?

Cotton, that would be fine. I think I want to try and do this in 7th edition. So feel free to roll him up assign skills and such.

Handy, can you go ahead and setup a forum for us. Please enable dice rolling, it makes things a lot easier for me.

I just need a text blurb describing the adventure that will be seen on the front page. You can post it here, and then I'll set up the forum. I'll activate dice rolling. I always do that, ever since Invisible Castle died.
