CoC - OPEN: The Sanatorium

[Yakumo]

Dear Friends,

So glad that you could accept my invitation to visit. I am looking forward to showing you the latest developments in my research.

I am also anxious to bring you up to date on my experiments. There have been several more exciting developments since the publication of my article in the "Journal of the American Psychological Society" a few months back, (I trust you've read it). There will be a few surprises too - you can count on that.

My isolation is quite tolerable. The staff and I have come to think of ourselves as a family. Old Ebenezer, (you'll meet him on the ride over), is always willing to ferry one of us over to the mainland if we should feel the need to touch base with civilization. This summer we have been blessed with a regular dinner companion in the form of Mr. Shelly, a graduate student from Princeton. He is camped on the north beach of the island, conducting some sort of bird study. I'm sure you will find him witty and pleasant.

Looking forward to seeing you,
Dr. Aldous Brewer
------------------------------------

This is an official call for players for a Call of Cthulhu game set in the 1920s. The adventure takes place at a Sanatorium on a small island of the coast of New England. The characters have been invited by Dr. Aldous Brewer, a renown psychologist of unorthodox methods.

I will be taking up to 3 players, but will run the game with as few as one player. I intend on closing the call for players the 4th or 5th of January as I don't believe that I will be getting that many players and I would like to move the game along.

Any experience level with the Call of Cthulhu BRP system is acceptable.

I can't wait to start.

EDIT:

Post character ideas and questions here. I'll put the character creation information up momentarily. I'll probably be using the same rules that theudjat used for Masks of Nylar.

[TheUdjat]

You already know I'm in. Work on a character when I get the chance to.

[Yakumo]

Sounds good to me. As an aside, I couldn't get a hold of that missing page so it looks like I'll be winging that part. At least any hand outs at on chaosium's website and I'm 90% sure it was just description. I can easily make that up.

[Yakumo]

Alright, I'm going to close this. I don't expect that we'll be getting any more players in this slump.

If one of the Admins could give me the traditional 3 boards under the title "The Sanatorium - CoC" And I suppose the Font can be red since that is one of the few unused ones now.

Udjat you can either PM me the character or Post it up into the board when it pops up. I have to type up an NPC that will be joining the excursion.

[Yakumo]

Now that I look at it, if shakes or you if you can just tacks on a shorts board that would do for our purposes.

[TheUdjat]

That's the plan, actually. Just haven't gotten around to it yet. Got a ridiculous amount of stuff on my plate, and this has kinda fallen to the bottom (simply because I seem to be the only player).doubleclick.

[Yakumo]

Alright, that's fine by me. Just wanted to make sure we had some place to play at all haha.

[Yakumo]

Here is a link to theudjat's BRP thread for Call of Cthulhu. It should answer any questions, however it does get wordy so if you have any quick questions you are free to just post them here.

[lekorr]

Can do. Not sure if your link posted but I did a search online and found the document Udjat wrote. As soon as we know character limitations we will roll them up.

Haha sorry about that, I must have forgotten to paste it up there. Three limitations I can think of really for characters.

You must have one:
1) Know Aldous Brewer
2) Know Henry Tiller (Character posted in the Short Character section - a good in for students and the like)
3) Have some legitimate reason for going to the island - I believe someone mentioned potentially becoming a patient.

[lekorr]

Ok that works fine for what we had in mind.

My character will have an interest in biochemistry and how it relates to Dr. Brewer's work. Professional knowledge of I guess you would say.

Starkstars character would likely be looking for treament as a patient.

I read Udjat's summary and it says the base stats are to be rolled by the DM. Do you want to roll thse for us or would you like us to roll our own?

[Yakumo]

I will be sending that stats to you guys in PM's later tonight.

[lekorr]

Hey Yakumo, Our characters are starting to get fleshed out now and we should be ready to post them up in a day or two. Are we getting a seperate forum listings for this campaign or should we post them on this thread for now?

[Yakumo]

Post them in the Shorts section of the boards with this prefix CoC: (Investigator name)
