Re: Scenario Writing
I really like this island as a setting. I understand the impulse to move it further offshore from Victoria, but leaving it somewhat nearby might actually serve to heighten the isolation once the boat has returned to the mainland. I mean what could be worse than being absolutely trapped on the island...

Re: In my first game they decided to hit a GOO with a car.
Absolutely. Revenge is a dish best served bleeding with a side of slow, gleeful torture. I love that she rolled a 1 for the attack. That's the kind of epic that you love to see in any RPG. Congratulations, and welcome to Call of Cthulhu! Just as an aside, another option would have been to have the ...

Re: What are you reading?
I have been re-reading a lot of HPL since I started playing. It's been several years since I read them, and it has been really fun re-discovering them. Other than that, I have been reading a bunch of non-fiction: Mind of the Raven: Investigations and Adventures with Wolf-Birds by Bernd Heinrich, whi...

Re: In my first game they decided to hit a GOO with a car.
I totally agree, as far as I am concerned it was a manifestation of Y'golonac on this plane only. I like the idea of of the investigators now being marked for revenge by Y'golonac, or maybe some of his cultists.

Re: First-Time Keeper
As a fellow new keeper, I would like to recommend "Malice Everlasting" from MRP's New Tales of the Miskatonic Valley . This was the first CoC adventure I played in, and also the first I ran (which I did yesterday). I think it introduces players to CoC well with a nice balance between research and co...

In my first game they decided to hit a GOO with a car.
I have only been playing CoC for a couple months (and only playing tabletop RPG's since a couple of months before that), and I have become obsessed. Recently, I decided to run a game with some friends with little to no RPG experience. All-in-all, I think it went pretty well, but near the end one of ...
