Call of Cthulhu - The Haunting . Newbie One Shot (FULL)

Looking for a handful of brave investigators to join this scenario set in Boston in the year 1920.

You are going to be hired to investigate an old house in 1920s Boston—rumor has it that it may be haunted!

Specifically gathering players new to the game, so if you've always wanted to give it a shot, now's your chance. Daily posting expected. Post interest below

So I'm thinkin' hard boiled Private Detective. "I got four slugs in me. One's lead, the other three are burbon."

Sounds good!. I've put the word out to Reddit, so if we don't find more internally, we'll have some new blood.

I'm interested! Never played Call of Cthulu. Played some tabletop games - extremely new to the TTRPG scene, though. Have extremely limited engagement with PbP but I like the freedom that comes with being able to post/reply when available. Let me know next steps!

Awesome! And welcome to GamersPlane! I usually wait to get a few interested before I set up the necessary threads but keep your eye on this post (you can even subscribe to the thread at the top of the page for notifications)

Wooh! I’ve been interested in CoC for a bit now. I’ve had a blast in other pbp dnd games, and am excited to branch out. Cheers!

Hi, id love to give this a shot. My fiancee may want to play too. Ive never played CoC before but I've read a couple books about it. No idea what kind of character to make yet... let me know if you still have space and if fiancee should join up too :)

Excellent. Ok if you get your fiance to jump in here, I’ll hold the last spot and we can get started!

In the 1920's America would have just come out of the Great War (WWI). Your character may have been involved in that in some kind of way. Barring that you could be some type of Spiritualist. (perhaps with a grudge against Houdini for exposing you as a fraud) Some type of Clergy might also be appropo to investigate a haunted house. (Obviously the work of the devil)

I've sent each of you an invite to the game. If you're new to GP and need a little help, there's an excellent guide for newbies: https://gamersplane.com/forums/thread/2656/

If any of you use Discord, I have a little community for all my players. It's not compulsory, but a good place for questions if you use Discord.. https://discord.gg/H7WFXQ9U

Okay. Excellent, i have joined the discord. Being clergy appeals to me a lot so i may take that route. Perhaps a neophyte priest sent out to investigate something in the area? Ill see if my fiancee would like to commit now, thank you.

Thank you this is very helpful i am definitely new to this so ill read this shortly:)

I am interested and been looking for a CoC game for a while. Technically I am not a newbie as I have played twice, one short intro game and one game which collapsed very quickly, so if this puts me out of the running cool 😁

Okay my apologies it appears my fiance does not want to commit to the sessions and potentially ruin the game for anyone. Is it possible to reopen that position for someone else willing? Thank you

No worries Hacule, that paves the way for Mathfuric!

Everyone but Kyozo has come over, so don't miss out !

I'm closing the game here now, as we have our 5 brave investigators. Let's see who survives!
