Pope Guilty posted:Esoterrorists isn't Cthulhu- it's about a world where consensus reality means that magic isn't real, a group of wealthy psychopaths trying to tear down any concept of sanity or security so they can throw fireballs and live forever, and the players trying to stop them. Excellent game.

Pope Guilty posted:that's what the Esoterrorists want anyway: infinite power for them, life in a horror movie that never ends for everybody else. Also, want to play this now with Fox Mulder as an NPC and (unwittingly) one of the setting's greatest villains.

Pretty sure it's not been mentioned yet, but A Colder War should be required reading for anyone planning on running any Delta Green incarnation. Actually I'd honestly include this in the OP.

Also it would be a bit weird for the Bertie Wooster class to disallow a Reason score below 1. \/You're right, I was just looking at the Reason section\/ Splicer fucked around with this message at 11:18 on Oct 18, 2012 |

Given that I missed the kick starter, is there any legit way to purchase a copy of the PDF from the tremulus dudes at this point?

I just found out that Cthulhu Gloom exists. It sounds pretty awesome, and has an expansion!

Ryoshi posted:That can't be right, though - if you rolled five times you still wouldn't be guaranteed to roll under, even though 5*.2=1 would imply that you did. I'm no good with probabilities unfortunately so I'm not sure what the correct way of going about that would be, but I think you'd have to change the sample space itself to include both rolls and then calculate the probability based on which sets of rolls succeed (anything with one OR both rolls under 2). To get the odds of succeeding X times on X dice you take the odds of succeeding to the power of X. So succeeding at two rolls at 2/10 (0.2) would be 0.04 (4%). To get the odds of succeeding at least once on X dice you take the odds of failing to the power of X and subtract that from 1. So succeeding at least once at two rolls at 2/10 (0.2) would be 1 - (0.8^2) = 1 - (0.64) = 0.36 (36%), or just over a third. (5 rolls would be 1 - (0.8^5) = (67.232%), or just over two thirds) Splicer fucked around with this message at 19:45 on Jan 19, 2013 |

Lord Frisk posted:I saw it being mostly light usage. Moving objects, projecting thoughts. Anything higher, say pyrokinesis, would be like to cause an aneurism. Moving something heavy would cause a large nose bleed/burst blood vessels in the eyes. In the beginning any psionics use would cause nausea and/or nosebleeds, and as the story progresses, the characters gain more insight into how to use it. They will also gain insight into eldritch and alien technologies. Splicer fucked around with this message at 15:50 on Jan 20, 2013 |

Their experience with d20 is why I would recommend not using the d20 system. CoC is a very different atmosphere to D&D, using a derivative of it makes it more likely for them to carry across certain assumptions. Like monsters being for attacking rather than running the gently caress away from.

Make Charles a Zombie, stick him in the same room as the entry to the caverns. The Investigators will go "Oh look a Zombie. Oh look a dark, ominous entryway to the local cave system." Then they'll either go looking, or say "gently caress this I'm not going in there quick kill the Zombie and let's get our money." Or have his corpse up on a slab where it was about to be reanimated before Curwen was interrupted. Basically have their goal (find Charles) lead directly to the next mystery (oh look a creepy crypt). e: or have Charles the Surprisingly Nimble Zombie be carrying the book in question. He understands it's important but not why. When the Detectives enter the experiment room, Charles wanders out to see the noise, the investigators see the doppelganger of their client carrying A Creepy Book, if/when they try to take it off him/approach him he bolts into the caverns with it and leads them in a merry dance of evil monsters until they corner him.

OK I could have sworn I saw something posted somewhere in trad games about the new Call of Cthulhu board game, but I can't find it now or even work out what its name is. Please show me I'm not going mad.

a mysterious cloak posted:Hey all, is there a Lovecraftian game that I can play with my wife and 14 year old, that doesn't involve reading an elaborate rulebook? I'm looking at Arkham Horror, and the learn to play stuff seems fairly straightforward after you get it set up, but I wasn't sure about any of the others. I'm still researching, but I figured I'd ask the experts.
