Paul Fricker Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 https://blasphemoustomes.com/2021/02/02/occupations-in-call-of-cthulhu/ We’re back and we’re job hunting. This makes a pleasant change. We’re more used to things hunting us. But how much does your occupation actually matter when you’re running around the globe, trying to save humanity from eldritch gribblies? Sure, you may be the best haberdasher in the West End, but it’s hard to collect your pay packet when you’re being eaten by a shoggoth in Timbuktu… Main Topic: Occupations in Call of Cthulhu This is our discussion of the role of occupations in Call of Cthulhu? Are they just character classes? How do they work? Are there any that can be difficult to fit into a game? How might we create some of our own? And are there any we find particularly appealing or off-putting? (Clearly, Author is the best profession in the game, only because of the ludicrously high Credit Rating bracket.) Links Things we mention in this 200th episode include: Call of Cthulhu Investigator Handbook Tatters of the King Masks of Nyarlathotep Walker in the Wastes A Cold Fire Within Into the Darkness Shadows of Yog-Sothoth The Fungi From Yuggoth Charles Babbage Ada Lovelace Deprogramming Cults episodes Call of Cthulhu subreddit Escape From Innsmouth The Two-Headed Serpent “The Dunwich Horror” Pugmire “The Whisperer in Darkness” News A Weekend With Good Friends The first Weekend With Good Friends took place a couple of weeks ago and went marvellously. This is the revamped version of the online convention formerly knows as Jacks-con, organised by our lovely listeners. There were well over 100 games run over the course of the weekend, including huge amounts of Call of Cthulhu, and a smashing time was had by all! Thank you so much to Bence, Chris and Martin for running the whole thing and to everyone else who helped out, ran games and generally joined in the fun! Kult on How We Roll Scott has been let off GM duties and is getting to play a game! Craig from Red Moon Roleplaying is running another Kult game for How We Roll, this time weaving a custom creepy narrative around equally creepy characters created by Joe, Dave and Scott. If you want to join in the horror, hop on over to the How We Roll Patreon page. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
