Considering starting this game after the first of the year.

The CDC was established in 1946, so that's the start date. The CDC also has a Special Pathogens Branch. In real life it deals with diseases like Ebola and hantavirus. But it makes a perfect cover organization for investigating the supernatural.

I see this as a more investigative, detective-type setup rather than a ultra-violent monster hunters one. (Though there can certainly be violent confrontations!)

This would not be a Cthulhu/Mythos game. The supernatural will be that of myth and folklore.

System would be GURPS. I run pretty rules light though. Character creation will be collaborative.

So is anyone interested?

Sounds like a cool idea to me.

I am in, been wanting to play in this type of game for a while.

Sounds rather interesting. Have you heard of a game called Chill (Mayfair Games)? It is inspired by folk lore and other mythical stories, check it out if you want, could give some inspiration.

Never played GURPS before but sounds interesting.

Sounds interesting. What point total are you thinking of?

Interested as well.

Also interested :D

Heard the name but never seen it. I'll keep an eye out for it.

I can walk you through it. And if you can describe the characters actions I can figure out the mechanics.

250-300ish. Characters are literally 1 about four million.

I use design to concept with a set of guidelines, not a set point limit.

I've played GURPS a while back but not the latest edition.

Sounds like enough interest for me to get back to work on it. After the holidays though.

I'd be interested.

I would also love to jump in. I think I looked at a 3rd edition rulebook a while back, you might have to catch me up on the latest GURP stuff.

I also don't know if this helps, but I just recently found out there is a Hellboy sourcebook for GURPS, which would certainly help fit the theme with some ideas for monsters and such.

I'm up for it, but it's been over a year since I made a Gurps Character.

Speaking of hellboyish would we be looking at pure-human characters or would we be allowed to get super-ish.

Shouldn't be too hard to catch people up, the Lite version is a free download.  http://e23.sjgames.com/item.html?id=SJG31-0004

The most complicated part is character creation and I will walk everybody through that.

Strictly human, doctors and detectives, soldiers and scholars..

Awesome, sounds good. I'll give that a once-over when I get some free-time over the holidays.

Sounds good to me. I've got a hold of the 4e core books so I can refresh my memory on character generation.

I'm interested as well.

Also interested. Haven't tried GURPS since before 3 (yes, I'm that old).

So long as the lite version has what's needed, I should be able to get through character creation with only some hand-holding.

Lots of interest, yeah!

I will start putting this together then, a little busy right now with all the holidays. Look for the RTJ announcement in a week or two.

Im interested in finally having an opportunity to actually try gurps. Investigative game is just a bonus :)
Though I only have the free download so far.

And the game is up! link to another game

Applications are open until 10:00 am Jan.4. (US Eastern Time).
