A Friend in Need is a short Call of Cthulhu campaign set in 1920s England and Scotland. I am looking for 2 additional players (I already have 2 interested). The game will be mostly PbP, but there will be some weekly play-by-chat opportunities (see below). We will be using the Chaosium rules for Call of Cthulhu. I have edition 5.6, but just about any edition will do. No knowledge of the system is required to play (though it will be helpful).Mystery solving is very difficult in PbP. The format doesn't lend itself to the kind of back-and-forth discussion usually needed to get to the bottom of a mystery unless the players are very active. Because of that, when I play mystery-solving games in PbP, I usually schedule a few (non-mandatory) chat sessions during the week. They are short (about 1 hour), and not always properly in continuity, but they allow the players to chat about the story so far and further develop their characters. I will be there to answer questions if needed. Additionally, I like to keep things moving in my games, so I will be posting about every other day as appropriate.
Character concepts should be easy to connect to an Oxford Professor (professors, students, family members, etc.). Don't worry about stating your character just yet. We'll get to that later.
So . . . interested? Head on over to GotEXP? and look for the game ad thread.
