So 'a friend' had a bad game experience two years ago and you're posting about it now?

Sounds like a ploy to stir up trouble as I've pointedly told you that 'making things up' isn't the norm for Call of Cthulhu scenarios.

I wasn't trying to cause problems I was just asking about RogueCthulhu.

And even if the GM was making up the rules, that's not a problem as long as the rules are

1) consistent

2) impartial

3) fun/satisfying for the group

 

You haven't even made it clear if your friend was unhappy with the session.

He was unhappy. The Keeper seemed to be inconsistent with the rules and "made" up rules to further the plot.

For people interested in the 1919 cross country trip, Eisenhower was a part of it and there's some materials here.

The CoC Organised Play is so different to WoTC Organised play or Paizo Organised play I'm not surprised that your friend was confused by a non-D20 game system. It's not really designed for drop in play as there is a plot that carries over multiple sessions making it very hard if the players are not consistent from session to session where the Keeper has to recap every time for new players taking up loads of time better spent playing.

The adventure the Keeper was running was a 4 hour convention type scenario. He was "surprised" to the extent that the Keeper seemed to to making stuff up (rules and the plot) as she went along. He's played CoC a number of times and was familiar with the rules.

Is the scenario available in the library?

I'm brand new to the forums. I was wondering if anyone had experience with this group. I know CoC isn't a huge rules systems like Pathfinder or Rolemaster. But my friend played in one of their adventures 2 years ago and said it seemed like the Keeper basically made up the rules as she went along. I'm not saying that's good or bad, it's just not what I'm used to in an organized play type environment.

I signed up a few months ago but I don't have access to the forums?
