Play@YSDC

We’ve had an influx of new members over at the play@YSDC Discord group and I’ve offered to run an investigation to get our new recruits up and running with play by post/Call of Cthulhu.

The Horror of the Glen is set in 1930s rural Scotland and the investigators will be looking into the murder of a local man. Someone has been arrested, but there is more to it than first appears. Investigation will be required, but there may be some action as well. We’ll use 7th Edition rules.

I’ll be giving preference to our new members (reserving slots for Pixie and Clanger78 from the Discord group). If you’re interested, please post below.

If you’re new to Call of Cthulhu: As noted above, Call of Cthulhu is an investigative game. You may need to fight sometimes, but the majority of the time, fighting will only get you in trouble with the law, and with powers beyond mortal comprehension…

If you’re new to play by post: PBP games are slower paced than playing face to face but that gives you more time to think about what your investigator will do. It’s also easier than trying to get everyone around the table/screen at the same time.

If you have any questions, please ask!

I'm interested

Excellent

Have you found your way here from the Discord group?

I can set up the forum for you when you're ready. While I would like to play too, I know that this is for the new players, so it would only be if there's room left after you've finished recruiting them.

Thanks, Mr H. I’ll see if we get enough recruits and go from there

Hi, I'm interested, I know I said so before but on Duscird I'm Clanger78.

Ok, great

Hello. I am interested in joining to the adventure. My username is the same in discord and in this page.

Welcome!

Mr Handy - would you be so good as to set up the forum? Thanks

Hey, I'm also interested! I'm dany#5664 on Discord (also just joined the server). I've roleplayed/done text TTRPGs for quite a long time and started playing CoC with my friend in about February but I have yet to play with strangers so

Sure. I just need a short text blurb to be displayed for the game on the home page first.

Thanks, Mr H. I’ll pm you with the details.

Dany - welcome

To paraphrase the saying, we’re not strangers, we’re just people with whom you will go mad but have yet to meet!

Welcome, everyone! I've validated all the new players, and you can now all post on the game boards. I've created the forum. You can find it here

Thanks Mr Handy.

I’ve added a couple of threads to get us started.

If you need another oldie after Mr H, I'd be keen!

Cheers,

Snapper

Sure, you’re more than welcome

Add your character to the Character thread and we’ll start once Dany and Mr H have their characters ready.

Brilliant!

(Trying to get onto that Dholes House site but it's being difficult right now.)

It’s been playing up for a couple of days

Cool guys! The first Discord batch is in for a test of fire! Great to see. Thanks for running this introduction scenario, Philulhu!
Regards, Dave

And to the new recruits, "Keep calm and carry on!"

No problem
