OOC Discussion

The Old Barnaker House. Every kid has heard about it. Everybody has a different awful story about it. All of them agree it is a very bad place.

But here you are on Halloween Night, all because of that jerk Roger. He dared you and your friends to spend the night there. You couldn’t let him bully you.You will show him who is chicken! Everybody knows that there are no such things as ghosts. Everybody knows that, right?

So get your slingshot and your pocket knife. Grab some candy and ready your Rubik’s Cube. You and your friends are going to go face-to-face with the horrors of the Barnaker House.

Hopefully you will live to see the dawn.

The Barnaker House is waiting...

Happy to allow spending Luck if that's what people would like. Any views?

I'm fine with that. Pushed rolls? Can't remember if we are doing that.

The rules thread said pushing is allowed in this game, but not spending Luck. I don't like the spending Luck rule on general principles, but that's from my perspective as a Keeper. As a player, however, it would be useful right about now. If I'm allowed, I'll spend the 2 Luck to succeed at Play with Matches.

I think Luck spending changes the whole approach in CoC - and I don't like meta-currencies - however it is practically the default in 7th edition now and it does make things easier as a player (earlier on). So I'm happy to go with the majority.

I don't mind either way, it is a bit more pulpy though.

Since everyone is pretty ambivalent I think we'll stick with the no Luck spend rule. You can still push a roll though.

Will update this evening but I think you've actually left Louis downstairs by himself. That'll all be fine I'm sure...

Maybe kids in the 80s hadn't seen all the horror movies and got all jaded yet. Anyway, what could go wrong?
