Role Playing Public Radio Podcast / Cthulhu game for newbies?
« on: August 04, 2015, 10:51:05 AM »
Hi all, long time listener-lurker in need of advice from Cthulhu veterans.
I've been asked to run a Cthulhu based game for a group of players who have very limited or non-existent role-playing experience and who are very unfamiliar with the Lovecraft mythos. Although I have run and played both GUMSHOE and Chaosium COC I'm a bit stumped as to where to start for this group.
So I'm looking for suggestions for both for system and scenario, any time period, setting would work but I'm not looking to run an extended campaign rather a shorter game for a series of sessions to try out how the group likes it before moving on to something more extensive.
