Pulp Cthulhu-Traits


Charles Green

Recommended Posts

The sample from Pulp Cthulhu posted back in the day had a new rules system called "Traits," and the one described Trait was for "Weird Knowledge".

Does anyone know anything about these or how they were supposed to have worked? I was going to buy the book and see, but that seems less and less likely as time passes.

I suspect they were supposed to work similarly to Spirit of the Century's Aspects, which I think are pretty cool in and of themselves.

You can find the article in question here.

Anyone have any ideas?

Taking a stab at it. :P My guess is that the traits are added to the relavant skills or attribute rolls. This would provide a contrast to other games using edges, feats, legendary abbilites and so on. It would also be more in line with the Chaosium d100 system. So our reanimator with his agile of 24% adds that to surgery rolls and hand to hand attacks using a scalpel.

As far as the book coming out. I have serious doubts about this. It's not like I'm bitter or anything. ;)
