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.

CoC never fails

Hi, people.

Right before the holidays, we started a new campaign for CoC using the adventure in the 5.5 corebook about a guy who needs that the PCs go to an abandoned farm and finish a sort of exorcism. Yesterday, just after returning from the holidays, we started "The Corbitt House." Everyone but one player were new to CoC, though all are familiar with BRP (they're my RQ Vikings crew).

As usually happens, the game was a blast, and BRP shined as usual. Quick, easy and fun. Players loved it, I loved it, and the classic adventures work like a charm.

Didn't want to write a full AP (a bit busy for that), just testify to the great game that is CoC.
My name is Ramón Nogueras. Running now Vampire: the Masquerade (Giovanni Chronicles IV for just 3 players), and itching to resume my Call of Cthulhu campaign (The Sense of the Sleight-of-Hand Man).

CoC rules.  Probably one of the best RPGs ever written.

Gamers might fail me, but CoC never has.

I have run The House a dozen times.  Its pure awesome and such a great way to introduce noobs to CoC.   Years ago, an acquaintance asked me to run it for his son's 13th birthday.  So we had a group of 13 year old boys who never played an RPG and they got into the game so intensely that it was a blast for the adult gamers who were watching.

Yeah, CoC never fails.

Much love for the Haunting scenario. It kicked off a spectacular campaign 20 years ago when I first started playing CoC. I run a session or two of CoC every October and it's always a blast.

Players are naturally inquisitive, and "get" it (i.e. CoC) very quickly.
