SPECIAL NOTICE
Malicious code was found on the site, which has been removed, but would have been able to access files and the database, revealing email addresses, posts, and encoded passwords (which would need to be decoded). However, there is no direct evidence that any such activity occurred. REGARDLESS, BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR PASSWORDS. And as is good practice, remember to never use the same password on more than one site. While performing housekeeping, we also decided to upgrade the forums.
This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Does anyone know where I can find the old form fillable version of the 1920s call of Cthulhu character sheet without the anachronistic immersion breaking "pronoun" BS?

It's still up on their site here:

https://www.chaosium.com/content/FreePDFs/CoC/Character%20Sheets/Character%20Sheet%20-%20base%20-%20Call%20of%20Cthulhu%207th%20Ed.pdf

Other previous characters sheets can be found via the Wayback Machine here:

Though people in the 1920s also didn't use "hit points" or "sanity points", so maybe those will break your immersion as well.

Ah, thought there was a color version of the old one they replaced.

It's not a big deal, but it's a cringey pandering change (the only place I've seen it used is on Tumblr & Twitter) that's completely irrelevant >99.9999% of the time doubly so in a 1920s setting, so it becomes an eyesore on the page. HP & SP are fundamental gameplay abstractions.
