Character Concepts

Traditionally Cthulhu investigators are private detectives, soldiers, nurses, etc.  With our event you can be any character idea you might like to play.  We already have a golfer and a gypsy planing to play, so let your imagination take flight and come up with anything you think you’ll have fun playing.

I’m not going to be too pedantic about the date your character comes from.  Although set in 1913, if you want to play a 60’s hippy chick, then fine; who knows, perhaps your character was a precursor to the movement.  In the same regard I’m not going to stereotype roles, woman wouldn’t have been soldiers, but in our story you can be what ever you want to be.

I am going to be pedantic about the technology though. Weapons and equipment must come from 1913 or earlier, (no AK47s or RPGs), and your character should have a legitimate method of obtaining any equipment you might be carrying.  If you bring a weapon which isn’t safe (a baseball bat for example) we will swap it for a safer “phys rep” (probably one of our swords ;-).

Although this event is free, you will be earning monster XP based on the normal XP award system; Role-Playing, Involvement, Safety, and Costume, so it will be worth while spending some time getting your look right.
