RE: Role Playing Journals - Max_Writer - 07-27-2015 12:44 AM
I ran a one-shot Call of Cthulhu game over Skype for some friends who really wanted to play. It was kind of an experiment as I'd never run a game online before. We played "The Last Voyage of the Ivory Pride," a scenario I found online and printed out years ago (and I don't think is available anymore) and didn't finish so we have to figure out when the next session will be. Can four Americans survive a trip on a tramp steamer when strange pygmies and other horrible creatures attack?

This one was not video recorded.
Players were:
Timothy Smith (Virii) as James Walker (con man)
Jeff LaForest as Raymond Coyt (radio announcer)
D.J. Stevenson as Anton Bogdan (undertaker)
Lily Williams as Elliot Strong (big game hunter)

I ran (part of) another one-shot for my Call of Cthulhu group, this one taking place in the State of Rhode Island in 1778, during the American Revolution. "Madness or Death: The Nickerbocker's Tale" sees characters investigating a local landowner who might be a loyalist and working with the British holding nearby Newport. Is the man guilty, or is something more sinister going on?

I continued the one-shot Call of Cthulhu game over Skype for some friends who really wanted to play. It was kind of an experiment as I'd never run a game online before. We played "The Last Voyage of the Ivory Pride," a scenario I found online and printed out years ago (and I don't think is available anymore) and we finished the scenario in the second session. Can the passengers and crew of the Ivory Pride survive the horrors awaiting them?

How do you feel about the online play? It's where I cut my teeth, but I basically refuse to now, mainly because people seem to refuse to treat online "commitments" as commitments.

It's where I cut my teeth, but I basically refuse to now, mainly because people seem to refuse to treat online "commitments" as commitments.It worked out fairly well for us though there were only four players and myself. Coordinating a time was rough (one guy is on the west coast), but once it was set, everyone came. Of course, I'm good friends with these people so I trusted them and know them pretty well already.
I still prefer actual tabletop though. I kept finding myself pointing at the screen (as I usually point at people when I'm running to make sure people know who I'm talking to). Connection issues are also no fun. It was a good time overall though, and we might try it again.

Drunk Tabletop continues!
On August 20, 2015, we played a continuation of the one-shot using the BRP rules. The catch - everyone got pretty drunk before the game and during character creation and remained so during the game. The game takes place present day near Boone, N.C., as the characters are fleeing from a terrible attack on King Street.

The game takes place present day near Boone, N.C., and is connected directly with the other drunk games (same world, same date) though this one was with three brand-new players (all women) who weren't sure what they were in for.
It got a little strange ...

We finally return to Jazz Age Call of Cthulhu with a continuation of the Providence Campaign.
With the beginning of the fall semester, I started the 1920s Providence, R.I. Campaign I began some time ago. It has been two months since the investigators, along with Quincy Washington, returned from Lonely Point Lighthouse. Quincy has been pressing Detective Sherman to investigate the terrors that happened to him at the Arthur Mitchell House in East Providence for some time but the man was simply too busy. As spring turns to summer in late May of 1926, it is time …

With the two super villains responsible for setting the apartment fires in Charlotte in a super jail, it's for the heroes to find out why they did it and get their employer.
