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.

What is your favorite CoC time period?

I voted 'Classic' but I'd be happy to run/play CoC during other eras as well.  My impression is that the best published adventures/campaigns are set during the 1920s.

If I were to run CoC 'now' (i.e., the campaign set during ~2010), I'd probably use C7's 'The Laundry' RPG.

Never played Cthulu but I think the time of the "Code of Blood" in Britain when 288 crimes carried the death penalty. Who needs horrors from beyond reality when a 12 year old mute boy can be sentanced to death for stealing a letter.

CoC is great any time. There is no period I wouldn't play.

I agree - the Cthulhu Invictus sounds really cool.

And pretty unrelated; that Masks of Nyarlathotep better be good. The Danish fucking customs just added 48.5$ in VAT, so the final price of my book is something just short of 130$ (book+steep shipping+Danish VAT), I mean; fuck, the VAT is more than the book cost, because of fucking service charges... and VAT on the fucking service charges!
Running: Call of Cthulhu
Playing: Mainly boardgames

20s for me.  

But mostly because I mix in way more Dashiell Hammet than Lovecraft into my CoC games - with mob wars and ancient relics coming out of Chinatown.
Now Prepping: One-shot adventures for Coriolis, RuneQuest (classic), Numenera, 7th Sea 2nd edition, and Adventures in Middle-Earth.

Recently Ended: Palladium Fantasy - Warlords of the Wastelands: A fantasy campaign beginning in the Baalgor Wastelands, where characters emerge from the oppressive kingdom of the giants. Read about it here.

I am sorry to hear that.

On the other hand, MoN is the best CoC campaign there is, and one of best campaigns ever published for any game, period. So at least you are going to be happy :)

Yes, it\'s a typo; it\'s not worth re-registering over . . .

I didn't vote because it was too close for me, and Invictus was one of those choices, so there you go.

At some point, I have to ignore all the HPL-derived content and use what remains to run a CoC game set in C.A.S' Zothique.

That would be a lot of fun, I think.

That would be lots of fun. Zothique always struck me as being a neighboring dimension of Vance's Dying Earth.
