OOC Chat

Arkham, Massachusetts, 1928. The last dying plea of an old friend and mentor leads to an encounter with a horror beyond description. Unwittingly released into the world nearly fifty years before, it is now time to finally confront the mistakes of the past. But it will come at great cost...

They say you're supposed to chant eldritch spells to the rhythm of the BeeGees' "Staying Alive".

Wait, that might be CPR.

Oh, now for the hardest part of any CoC adventure... dealing with the fallout.

Oooh I hope so! The mystery is almost over, but the investigators aren't out of the woods yet.

*LAUGH*

I was just gearing up to RP a very off-his-brain-on-the drugs Balzac. Don't harsh my buzz Man.

I'm slowly easing back into my usual life schedule, catching up with the games here, posts later today, hopefully!

Welcome back! The game should be over soon, unless everyone ends up in prison for murder. And then you'll have to role play every day of your confinement as a punishment.

Wonderful epilogues everyone! Thanks very much for playing, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. Please post your thoughts and critiques for our perusal and discussion.

I will plan to start a new adventure soon and you’re all very welcome to join. You can play the same characters again if you wish, and develop them further. I am thinking about The Madman, from the 6th edition rule book again (I paid good yen for that pdf, dammit).

But for now, the rewards. Please roll for skill increases, and award your character 1d10+1 Sanity for banishing the monster and knowing that it will no longer plague our world. Also, give yourselves 1 point for Cthulhu Mythos, as you are now aware of the presence of otherworldly beings, and such things as the existence of forbidden tomes (Di Vermiis Mysteris).

Unlucky Isadora! Still, she has her Cthulhu Mythos point to console her.

Yeah, that's the real reward for her!

Yes, that'd be awesome! As long as it doesn't have a haunted house or a cabin in the woods... I saw it in the book, but don't remember anything, so probably didn't read it.

I enjoyed this adventure, I like it when there's enough space for character interaction and development besides the investigation & action.

I'm glad you enjoyed. I haven't read the scenario for a while, but there's no haunted house. I'll re-read it tonight - I think it's a fairly short one (so about 2 months of play :lol: ).

I enjoyed it too, and I'm looking forward to The Madman, which I've never played or read.

Isadora actually gets to increase both skills by 1D10 each. When rolling for skill increases, you want to fail.

Have you been tracking which skills we've used successfully during the adventure? I don't remember, and I don't have time tonight to look back through all the threads to check.

Thanks Mr. H. Yes of course you're right about the skill rolls. I haven't kept a full record but i only have Alice succeeding rolls for First Aid and Listen - you tended to roll better with characteristic rolls than for skills in this game.

Evil, please roll for 1d10 for Isadora accordingly.

I can start The Madman soon, I'll advertise it in the appropriate forum. 4-5 players should be enough.

You're welcome. I especially did well on my Sanity rolls. My Sanity is now 67, which is a little higher than when I started. I never did succeed at a Listen roll (I missed that last one by one point), but I did succeed at Persuade at the end.
