Sounds like the game for me, we already spoke on Discord about it!

I’d like to throw my hat in the ring.

Never played CoC or done Play by post, would love to give this game a try though if that's alright.

Awesome, welcome both of you

If you are looking for a CoC game, I highly recommend knifesedgegames, they run a brilliant game and makes even falling into madness a lot of fun!

Never played a pbp cthulhu game, would love to. Thanks for your consideration.

Should you still have place, I'd love to join. I have never played, but enjoy my Lovecraft dark. Would love a chance to learn the game.

Hey Adrasthea! Thanks for your interest. We actually just started so I've closed applications but I do run these regularly so would gladly you put you on the waiting list for the next one?

Great, thx!

I'm a newbie to both pbp and Cthulhu but would love to throw myself into both. Would you mind popping me on the list for your next one. I'm really keen to have a go. Thanks.

I will take advantage of the bump to signal my interest too, would love to participate if there will be a new adventure at some point ahead!
May 26, 2026 12:26 am
Will certainly put you on the list for the next one

Not new to it but if a more serious none one-shot campaign took place id love to be a part of it
May 27, 2026 10:56 am
I have a few but all pretty full I’m afraid

Knifesedgegames, how much do I actually need to know to play in one of your Call of Cthulhu games? I'd like to try it out, if writing a 1920s character can be enough. I don't currently own any books of that system and setting.

You don't need to know anything (aside from understanding that your character has a very high chance of dying or going insane!), I run them for complete newbies or those that maybe played years ago and want to get back into it. I go through key rules, character generation (or we use pregens in some cases). I don't expect players to have any books, I take care of everything for you.

That's ideal. I'd be interested to try it then. As soon as there's a game. I have a few good character ideas for the time period. And going insane is such a nice bonus. ^^

I’ll add you to the list

Hey Knifesedgegames,

I would also be interersted to join a game if you intend to start a new newbie's game.

I have played CoC once as a GM a few years ago (The "Haunted House" one from the Basic Rules book), but never as a player. I also never played PbP so far. I belive this qualifies for a newbie-game?

I appreciate the opportunity!

Cool. My wait list is growing! Currently well into a one shot but when it wraps I’ll fire up the next
Jun 7, 2026 5:00 am
Get that clone tech figured out, KEG!

Just found out about this. I have barely almost zero experience with pbp and ttrpgs in general, and none at all with Call of cthulu. I've been looking for a newbie friendly game for a bit, and this seems perfect! Would be pleased to take place in any future campaign of this you arrange, you seem to do these pretty regularly.
Jun 10, 2026 6:51 pm
You got it Quark. I tend to run them one at a time every couple of months (depending how long each lasts). Consider yourself on the waiting list
Jul 25, 2026 8:29 pm
I've been interested in CoC for quite some time but have never got to try it out.
I'm a huge fan of cosmic horror and HP Lovecraft so I definitely understand the vibe

Not sure how rules heavy it is but I'm pretty good at learning new systems
Jul 26, 2026 12:26 am
Hey Crodacus, I'd let you know when I run my next CoC one shot!
