Crappy CoC skype game looking for players
« on: September 08, 2011, 02:56:12 PM »
Just wondering if anyone has nothing better to do, I'm kinda looking for 1-2 players for a skype game of Call of Cthulhu (or possibly Delta Green, but most likely CoC), I'll be running a game Friday the 16th, ~6pm central

Set in the 90s, the PC's are members of an online newsgroup dedicated to paranormal, conspiracy theories, UFO's etc, and there's been talk of someone spontaneously combusted inside an amusement park. 
Amidst all the weird theories and research to try to find who it could have been and what actually happened, some people have discovered that the amusement park is one of the last visited places of many people who were reported missing, some of their cars were found abandoned hundreds of miles away, and in different cities/counties/states, and no evidence of anybody going missing inside the park or in the surrounding area.
But several people on the newsgroups still suspect something odd going on there, either poltergeists, aliens, government death ray tests, or whatever their pet theory happens to be.

So, they organized their schedules, and a group of them are going there for a week to scope it out (if anything else, its a good excuse to hang out in person and amuse themselves at a big theme park.)

disclaimers: It could very well suck, its my first time running Call of Cthulhu, or running or playing any game in a couple years. The other people in the group will probably use very bad language, tell horrible inappropriate jokes, and in general be asses (think New World ep 2 + The Haunting), pretty much just posting this cause I said I would try and get another person or 2 and don't have any real friends (god damn can I sell a game or what..)

I'd like to get in on it but I'm pretty bust this week. Another time in the early part of the week I'd be down.

I wish I could have gotten in on this, but I'm running MY Laundry game at the exact same time. :(

If you ever change nights, shoot me a PM and I'll try to jump in. My girlfriend also games, and would probably want to join or at least kibitz a bit. :]

Actually we had to delay, and will probably reschedule since we lost our canadian because she apparently wants to stay employed for some reason and chose that over our game.

So we can take it into account when trying to schedule, are any nights better/worse? We'd prefer weeknights.

If you need more, I don't mind staying up one night to help out.

When you have a date in mind, toss it up on here. I'd be happy to join in if the time works and you need someone else, but as I'm East Coast, not sure if it would work out midweek.

Still, it would be fun to do a game sometime.

you know I've never actually played in a skype game, only run games over Skype. I might join depending on the night.

That's it, plan this to coincide with Ross' free time and you're on to a winner... record that shit, wrap it in tinfoil and make deep fried gold with it!

I'll believe that when I see the Mormons and the Pancake Jamboree.

OK, apparently its on for tomorrow/today (Friday 23rd), at ~6pm (the time can still be moved later if needed), so one hell of a reschedule.

And while there is no pancake jamboree, there is the Batter of the Bulge Pancake House, for some fine Luftwaffles and Panzercakes.

Nah, that'd be 7PM here, the time works. Let me check a few things and I'll weigh in for sure.
