Eh, meh, bleh.

Use FATAL.

*runs*

I don't know whether to applaud you or hunt you down.

I'm not using FATAL.

I wonder, if you were to choose between facing an Eldritch Abomination and having a session of FATAL...

I don't do homebrew rulesets.

[Squeegy]

That had better be part of the 95% or I'm boycotting everything you make forever.

[Cthulhu]

Nope, that's in the 5.  I don't do homebrew rulesets.  This isn't a forum game, this is an organized RPG campaign.

[Squeegy]

Laaame. All Flesh Must Be Eaten then.

Anyway, Call of Cthulhu is neck and neck with Rogue Trader.  I think I can handle a Call of Cthulhu campaign if I really need to.  Either way, this will be my greatest challenge yet.

For an idea of just how much work should go into a Call of Cthulhu campaign, go back and read Ruby Quest again (because I know you've read it at least once, right?).  Think about how many areas and plot points and puzzles went into the design, and then realize with growing (and most apropos) horror that even that "campaign" was technically meant for one player.

That said, I had an awesome idea for a CoC campaign that I'd be happy to pitch, since I'm never gonna do it.  It's not very developed of course, but I've got enough detail to make something of.

[Squeegy]

I've talked with Weaver (advice for 404) and he told me that for RubyQuest he basically had every room planned out ahead of time, just not where they were.

[Cthulhu]

I think I'm gonna go with Rogue Trader.  Most of it is already set up, I have the opening few sessions approaching readiness, and I have some ideas drifting around and clumping together in strange and interesting ways for what happens after that.

Should I necro the old thread or just bring everything from it up here and use this?

Also, I found out something horrible.  Grendel, that monstrous Mary Sue wankfest from /tg/, is official canon.  Ugh.

[Squeegy]

Then... un-canon it? Oh wait, you don't do homebrew.

[Aqizzar]

Or you could just set the game somewhere other than the stock setting.  The game does kinda encourage that after all.  Would be fun.

[Cthulhu]

Flipping the bird to that supplement and its short blurb about the fat neckbeard adept who killed the Charnel Daemon and the Bloodcrusher and the Beast off Solomon and the Ork Warboss and the Daemonhost and the Chaos Terminator Lord and the Bloodthirster does not constitute a homebrew ruleset.  I don't do homebrew rulesets.

He doesn't do homebrew.

Run a Commoner campaign in D&D. Everyone picks a Lv.0 Commoner class.
