I kinda want to go back and add a couple points to INT now...

And dual pistols, yay.

Congratulations Lazy, your a meat sheild!

Yes, along with the frequently mentioned Zombies, there are also Vampires (Who have the classic Holy Objects rule, and a few others I won't mention to leave it a surprise...) and the classic Werewolves, on top of a long list of other supernatural evils.

And IHMN, don't worry about INT. All it would do for you is help you read the spells faster, and time isn't a massivly important thing in the RP, although it will matter to some degree (I will specifically say how much time passes at times so don't rush the time ahead). Once you know the spell, it's all about POW. And you may want to watch out for your Dual Wield in battle... (You may be able to dual wield, but you got a 5 in HP, so you can be taken out in one hit as it stands... But I will add more HP later)

YAY! MEATSHIELD! I've always wondered what being one would be like.

Probably pretty painful I would imagine...

And after looking over some scenarios, I realized death can come pretty quickly and easily in this RP... If you get some bad dice rolls and die, you can always resubmit a new char if you want and jump back in the story, although you will train and get better over time and new chars will always lose the training of the last char...

Hey, I'm almost done with my bio (I know I'm slow). So the only occupational skills we can put points into are the ones listed after our occupation, right? No throwing in random ones with spare points?

Yes points, and you can only have the ones under occupation, and usually it says you can have one free skill of your choice.

Death is inevitable in Cthulhu. That or insanity. Which is why it seems just as smart to have no combat skills as it is to have combat skills.

If you have the combat skills, you may be inclined to stay and fight.

Call of Cthulhu is, from what I've experienced, more about telling a deep involving story than it is to slug it out with Demons. With your past games in mind, I look forward to participating in a good story, Zero!

Well, so far I am going to rely on some pre-made scenarios I've found while I work my way into being a Call GM. The first one I found for our starting scenario is a good one, with some exploration, some intrigue, some fighting, some magic, and some evil that needs banishing... I'm adapting it to a format good for a forum RP, and it should be pretty good.

If you need a little 'inside/outside' help now and again, I'd be more than happy to throw some ideas your way.

I'm gone for ONE NIGHT.

One.

And this goes from one page to 17.

1 TO 17!!

@#^U&$#&)*#$)

*fails sanity check* Oh....here I go....


*Proceeds to neuter everyone with a dull rusty spoon, then beat them with a chain-whip made of three year old jello with extra sugar, while the monkeys point and laugh*

*Sky falls down, crushed everyone*

*Runs around screaming about the worms coming to steal his ring, and eventually is found swimming through the street when one of the wheels breaks off his canoe.*

By birthplace, do you want specific city and state, or just the country they're from? Also, where in the world is this taking place? (it was probably posted elsewhere... ) I'm almost done... just taking care of little details..

Just say you were born in US.

And this is out world, 1920.

Whew boy, we need to keep SS away from anything that could make him fail a sanity check...

Thanks for the offer Demon, I'll keep in mind as I brainstorm new scenarios in the future.

And by birthplace, just put what you want but as a minimum you need to put a nation.

*wanders into thread*

Is it too late to sign up?

Yeah, I think this would be set in the US ...

Which makes my character a Canadian and an enemy.

Shiznit.

Fine fine... I'll stay away from him.

*has everyone's balls in his rusty metal bucket, and is in the corner foaming at the mouth, in a strait jacket, eating a table and mumbling, "I've killed before."*

*sanity reasserts*

Sorry 'bout the mass neutering. And stuff. Could someone get this straight jacket off me before I need to take another Sanity check?

Yep, sorry Gato, the RP closed one thread ago at 14 people.

And SS, let me help you get that jacket off with this shotgun I've got here...

FZ that is the first time I have been scared by a poster before ...points at S.S.... I am pretty sure he is telling the truth... Anyhow I will do the summation agin if you guys want...

Damn. Ah well, off i go to look for another RP.

Actually Captian TellshisPast (SS) isn't that bad.

Just don't ask him about his past ...

Warning: Veteran only joke detected.

Something tells me I might just die of confusion becuase of this "veteran only joke"

You had to have been in my old Shadowrun RP to know it... And only about 6 people stuck it through to the end before it died and saw that joke...

Thank God I am new to this forum... So I will not ask him his past. Time for me to get into character...runs to behind the rest of the group...

Direct Quote:
"It's your first run isn't it. Fine, I'll go with you, but quick notice. Don't ever question what I do. Know what I saw when I was 12? I watched the closest thing I ever had to a father get stuck onto the wall via knives, and shot in various spots that wouldn't kill him. I watched my sister get raped, and then have all her limbs blown off by shotgun blasts until she was just a torso. Don't ever think I'm ruthless, because there's some people that kill for the sheer pleasure of it."

The 'Hilarity' started way back here:
Hilarity Ensues

*FZ is trying to post, but only laughter that Demon still has that as a quick link can be heard*

I checked it out! Shadowrun had a decent run, after all. It was just cancelled before things really started to get good. Kinda like a really good tv series that no one watches. Like Firefly or Freakazoid.

Whatever happened to the Chaos Overlords Rp?

No need to wait for me anymore, I have finished my character... I hope it's alright. I don't really know what items to make her use.

Final Character

Name: Clara Leiman
Sex: Female
Age: 20
Occupation: Lounge Singer
College Degrees: High School Dimploma only.
Birthplace: United States
Background: Clara was born to be a performer, she had the talent, but she wasn't born in the right place. Born in a small town in the US, she had no hope for getting her "big break". So instead she travels around, constantly moving, singing at various lounges, hoping that someday she'll get spotted by a producer of some sort, perferably a producer of a big show.

You used 81 points in your stats.

For HP, you round up.

And... Thank you for someone with a good Spot Hidden! *Bows* Perfectly filled one of the missing holes in the group.

Looks good, I'll save it and give a final evaluation.

EDIT: Did she? *Counts* I got 82...

EDIT: Nope, used a calculater, she had 81, and now it's fixed.

I recounted and I had 81, but I fixed it, it should be alright now...

edit- I counted on all my fingers, and I still only counted 10! Perhaps, if I used my toes ...

edit- sorry. 11. I counted 11 on my fingers and ...

edit- No. Still only 10 ... that leaves 70 points for Celes to use ...

It looks like Demon failed another sanity check... Time to whip out the Lead Pipe of Healing!

Lead Pipe of Healing + 1, I daresay would be more effective, ol' chap!

No, no. I like Demon's way of thinking... well, time to edit in 70 more points.... I shall have the super lounge singer!

Oh no, this is the Cthulhu brand healer, no +'s needed. Just one good thwack, and no more sanity problems!

EDIT: Yep, I think you would end up my next victim of "Roll Luck until the get a critical failure" Celes...

Seriously, though. For comedic effect in a Cthulhu game there is nothing better than having the tag along British NPC with the large, swarthy mustache and giant golden muttonchops who keeps getting killed in horrible ways, and yet is still always around to be killed horribly again and again.

Call him 'Kenneth.'

"I daresay, chappies! I remember when I was in the Crimeon War ...*SPLORTCH!*

"Oh my God! You killed Kenneth!"

"You bastard!"

Aw Nerts. (pardon my language) *8bit rip off quote ^^;; *

Oh well. I'll just be a normal Lounge Singer.

You did not just make a bad South Park joke...

However, he would make a good red shirt...

"I'm sure this ole' blank piece of paper is perfectly saf - SWEET BLOODY HELL, IT HAS MY ARM, GET IT OFF!"

That should be: "sweet bloody 'ell, it 'as ma arm, git it oof!"

Or:

"I'm sure this ole' blank piece of paper is perfectly saf - I DARESAY! SWEET MERCIFUL CHRISTMAS, IT HAS MY ARM, BY JOVE! GET IT OFF, CHAPPIES! GET IT OFF! Ooooooo. Tea time!"

And yes. I made a bad South Park reference.

Or...

"I'm sure this ole' blank piece of paper is perfectly saf-"

"My god man, you've got no arms!"

"Yes I av'."

"Look!"

"Just a flesh wound."

You know, that would be the bonus of playing a Brit. During Tea Time, pass all sanity checks no matter what happens, as long as they have a cup of tea in their hand...

EDIT: And now Monty Python gets involved. Well, only fair, it is the British we're making fun of...

"I'm sure this ole' blank piece of paper is perfectly saf... Oh bugger."

"I have a cunning plan to get that piece of paper off your arm."

"Pray tell Baldrick I haven't reached my quota for lunacy yet."

"We cut your arm off milord."

"That's a good plan Baldrick except for I'd rather not lose my arm. Your head is as empty as a eunuch's underpants."

Live in fear for the rest of your days...
Cathulhu!

...That's the cutest great old one ever! Awww!

Hey Krylo are you ever going to get back to work on RoD

Hmm... Well, I was going to, but after letting it sit for a few days I wasn't sure how well it would resurrect. If the people in it are still willing to go with it I'll go make toss up a pre-prepared Narg post right now.

The only reason it's dieing is cause of a lack of interest on the gm's part to get on with the story. Nobody has anything to do just yet.

Yes, I've been thinking about how I kind of let people just be... wherever, and had trouble getting them fully immersed in what was going on... plus how long it's taking for the main point of the story to come up. Next time I'll be sure to make things a bit more... concrete... anyway, I'll go toss a Narg thing up.

If its ok Id like to remove everything from my skill list besides Dodge and saber and add throw

The point break up is as follows

Throw-99
Dodge-32
Saber-32

just in the interest of keeping us alive.

Edit:
So now i pretty much stand in the back and throw things but i still have my sword and dodge incase something makes it through.

Okay Just for future refrence I hide behind him whilst he throws the stuff, and if we get far enough cast spells.

Just watched Cowboy Bebop on adult swim and saw the most distrubing thing I......can't describe (fails sanity check)

Starts running around screaming the flying monkies in red vest with fez hats are after him. Lights two sticks of dynamite throwing them in opposite directions then lights 4 MCs and throws them at the 4 people closest to him.

Regains sanity just as the fuses burn out.

Note: better hope i dont fail a sanity check after I light an exsplosive

Edit: Im starting to drown in the rd jargon here so if someone could point me to a site that could help ill have it mastered in about a day. Someone probablly has already done this but im to lazy to look

Edit2:
Someone stole our ideal i think we should summon some gods and teach them a lesson.

Cowboy Bebop disturbing? I think it's great, but over to the topic.

YOU'LL NEVER FORCE ME INTO TRANSLATING ONE OF THE TOMBS NEVER I SAY. BWAHAHAHAHA.

And now over to something completely different.

You misunderstand I like the show. Its just that the woman that always cheats everyone, forgot her name at this moment, sent her self a tape when she was like 10 to be delivered in the future and what was on said tape is to horrible vor words. If a say any more more bad things might happen. Of course by now we are all dead about 7 or 8 times give or take a few.

Huh? indulge me with your knowledge, please

*Gets annoyed at all the previous British jokes*

*Kicks the doctor in the nuts*

Ok here goes and i hope my luck holds:

She was shy as a little girl but still some how knew she would be a trouble maker

taped herself waking up and asked furture self if she felt every fiber in her being and that she was a newer version of her

asked her furture self if she was in love (not directly)

gave her furture self a long pep talk that was followed by an equally long cheer the contents of which i will never utter.

and everyone was watching it.

You really had to see it, maybe it was becaus eits late and my brain is fried from being sick(with a cold not what your thinking) but it just distrubed me on a base level.

Which episode was it and I'll look it up. and sorry doc that was immature of me
Hmm reading about my character now makes me feel that he is kind of worthless. Ah well wel I'll show them whose worthless.

The title is Speak like a Child if my program guide is to be belived. And now i must to bed for i have to arise at 7:30 and it takes me about on hour to fall asleep.

See ya, hope I can find that episode

Sithdarth, you overloaded your Throw stat. It starts at 25%, so the max you can put in is 74%, giving you a 99% total (There is always a 1% degree of error, no matter how good you are). You now have 25 personal points to distribute.

What you been up to Zero?

Made a couple of smallish changes. Hope you don't mind. App is back where is was but there's an extra point in Edu, First Aid has been removed in favour of Blackjack (as in the little leather/lead club) so that I can make stealthy takedowns if need be. Persuade is also down a bit.

Name: Joseph Smith
Sex: Male
Age: 34
Occupation: Zealot
College Degrees: Read Chemistry for 2 years but never completed the course.
Birthplace: Oxford, England.
Background: Born and raised in Oxford, England, Joseph was a cold, distant child, a trend which continued long into his education at Oxford University. It was here, after reading Chemistry for two years, that he found his faith and discarded his studies. Unfortunatley for others his faith is a little... unusual. Joseph doesn't believe in any organised religion. He has taken this to the point where it is almost a religion itself. His eyes quietly burn with a grim determination to eliminate the supernatural, more because it impinges on his world view more than that he is concerned with solving a mystery or helping people. Sadly some would say indeed that he is already slightly mad. He has recently moved to America, searching for the perfect antithesis to faith.

Not much Tor, I was just on for a sec in the morning before school because I had some free time.

And Dr DR has now solidified himself as our stealth ninja investigator. Changes accepted.

EDIT: The RP will be starting on Monday, so keep an eye out for it then.

And Whiny returns. So I'm guessing I'm still not wanted around here and should be hiding from IHMN right now?

1. I don't have a problem with you being here.

2. You take jokes too seriously.

3. I haven't seen IHMN all day... Of course he is invisable...

Well Whiny's my nickname, so I might as well use it. My name in school is actually alot funnier. My friends call me Smelly.

And now I'm glad that my internet connection doesn't have smell-o-vision, Lazy man.

Yes, you're very lucky.

Aren't we all... It will be a sad day for computer users everywhere when one day we are forced to smell each other...

There's a guy at my school who people call 'Smelly' too, but he doesn't really smell (at least, I haven't noticed, but I'm not around him that much.) so I don't really know why they call him that...

With me, it was more of a strange incident that happened while walking aimlessly around school and a friend saw a can of deoderizer. Then he said, "Hey Smelly, I think you could use some of that." Somehow the name seemed to stick to me, even though it was a pointless joke, and I've had it for a while now.

can I make this change? I relized I had 50 unused points.

Whoops, I was wrong, I just remembered, the guy at my school, they call him "stinky" not "smelly". ^^;;

And in random news, my mom told me yesterday that she read that if you spend more than 11 hours on the internet a week, it means you have an addiction... I guess I do. ^^;;

Still, better than some of the other addictions out there ...

Like drugs? Alchol? And maybe smoking leperchaun........I highly doubt that's healthy for you.
