Every game needs one

First. Well, second actually as the storyteller was first...

Anyway, nice to meat you all. Let's go crazy together.

Nice to meat you too, Lord Byron.
I look forward to being on a steak-out with you. Who's going to be top-side?
If things go south, I reckon we can wing it.
Hopefully we won't have to chop anyone in the ribs.
I don't want any ham actors in the party, but it's better than mince-ing fops.

Sorry...couldn't help myself!

Howdy folks! Glad to be on board.

Welcome aboard one and all. It is my intention to post something substantive to the game at least twice a week and then allow a few days for replies. I realize we all have lives. This is a published scenario and I will be sticking to the adventure as written since I've never run it before. If you know what it is (I did not use the published name) please do not spoil the fun for others.

As I indicated in the recruitment process, I'm not particularly fussy about what version of CoC you use to generated your character sheets as long as you have a sheet to help determine outcomes of encounters or research or whatever. That will be my next request for you -- to send me a character sheet using the character outlines you have provided so far.

Here are the Quick Start rules for Chaosium's Seventh Edition:

I'm also perfectly happy with the D20 version or the 5th edition.

Thanks for gaming with me. I hope this will be fun -- and horrible at the same time.

Nice to meet you all.

Looking forward to gaming with you all.

Good to be playing! I'm looking forward to a great adventure with all of you.

Keeper - What year is the game to be played in?

Is there a good character sheet template?

My apologies to you, Byron or anyone, if you took offence to my punning; it's never my intention to insult or offend (at least out of character!). I sometimes forget that English isn't everyone's native tongue.

@Jesus: If I'm not mistaken, the year should be 1921 - one year before Tutenkhamun's Tomb was discovered.

The original newspaper clipping was dated January 1921 -- almost two years before Carter found Tutankhamen. Though digs in Egypt are quite well know. South America is less well explored. It will be March of the same year before you all arrive in Lima -- late summer there.

No worries Mr. Carpenter. No offense taken, just a little embarrassed about myself. English is indeed not my native language, but meet and meat, well... And I fear I don't even have auto-correction to blame.

Anyway, looking forward to a great game with all of you. And I will check at least my IC posts prior to publishing.

In reply to haruspex (msg # 9):

Thanks! I missed it.  I was going to have my character’s nickname as Lucky, but with a luck of 35, nope!

Hi all, Dr Ashton-Psmith here, Monty to his friends. That’s a silent P, but I shall hear if you don’t say it!

Monty is a Zoologist and University Lecturer. He is looking forward to an adventure!

Hey everyone!

Excited to play!

Hi all - can't wait to start gaming with everyone!

Is anyone else travelling from England? Maybe we can meet up aboard ship.

I initially thought of being closer, like in Mexico City or somewhere else on the continent, but...

... having been to England after 'hiding' throughout WWI, getting to know there will be no further family funding of my travels, partly because of my hiding throughout WWI, that could be a great reason to contact Mr. Larkin and become part of his expedition. And it would indeed put me on a ship from England towards the new world.
