Title: The Horror in the Heights
Blurb: When some of the belongings of a missing British aviator begin to surface in North Carolina, the investigators do what they do best.
Genre: Classic Lovecraft/Cthulhu/1920s
System: Call of Cthulhu BRP (5th or 6th edition texts will work fine)
Materials Needed: I have a handful of house rules related to making skill advancement easier and more frequent. I also use a kind of "story point system" to reward players. These will be posted in a "rules post" in the game forum. Additionally, I will have some character creation guidelines and suggestions when we get to the character creation portion of the game.
Description:
I am looking for two or three people (maybe four) who are interested in giving this a shot. I will look at interested players' posting rate and posting style to be sure that they match mine (just as I would vet any potential players who would sit around my table). I am looking to post four or five times a week. I'd like to spend some time every night getting online, reading posts, and updating, but I know that for people with careers, that likely won't happen every night. I do, however, want to keep things moving.Several nights ago your dear friend Mr. Bennett was telephoned by an old acquaintance named Ben Wilder. This acquaintance has first-hand knowledge that the private possession of a recently missing British aeronaut has surfaced in a pawn shop in NC. Mr. Bennett is enlisting your aid to discover how this possession, a pocket altimeter, made it to the United States . . . and why the young man who went searching for the source of the altimeter is now missing.
I should warn you that these stories were designed specifically for our group and our play style, and consequently, they may absolutely suck in PbP. Likewise, I may absolutely suck as a PbP Keeper. I have thought through how I will run things differently in this format and have tried to keep PbP in mind in the rewrites, but I thought you should know. Praemonitus praemunitus, as they say. I should also warn you that I will likely not be able to recreate all of the media we had for this game when we first ran it six years ago, so the media that I will use (audio, videos, maps, etc.) was made by me and my players and may be old and embarrassingly sub-par. I now use students who are far more creative and tech savvy to make my gaming media.
So, who is interested? Post HERE if you'd like to join up with us.
