If you're just going to be bitter that I didn't use your ruleset, please go somewhere else.  We're discussing Rogue Trader now.

I'd be up for Call of Cthulhu. Rogue Trader is good too.

This being Homestuck, I'm not sure whether that's post-scratch Rose or Vriska with a wig.

I'm not bitter. :V I'm just helpfully reminding people that you don't do homebrew.

You seem to be confusing "doesn't use homebrew rulesets" with "doesn't do anything that isn't explicitly addressed in an official rulebook"

Well I'm not using it.

I'm either doing Rogue Trader or standard 1920s/Present Call of Cthulhu(But only if it's demanded, since apparently that's winning right now but I'm not sure if I can make it good)

What is CoC in more definition?

Read the OP.  You're not playing anyway, though, because you flake out.

You really should be able to look this stuff up on your own, but I'll give it a shot.  Call of Cthulhu is a low-power, classless RPG, where under any competent GM the focus is much less on character abilities than it is on player abilities.  Although I guess you're still supposed to act in character.  But the point is, you run around investigating mysteries and otherworldly plots, like a gun-totting Scooby Doo gang, except every campaign is expected to end with at least one character insane/eaten/displaced.  Preferably all of them.

Basically, Bram Stoker's Dracula with more action, about as much implied writing, and tentacled horrors waiting in the dark.

Which is why in all likelihood I'm doing Rogue Trader.

No one has answered my question.  Do you guys want me to necro the old thread or just use this one?  I'm thinking we should just use this one.

This thread is fine. Necro's are always confusing.

I was going to answer it, but it didn't seem worth it since you were talking about doing CoC anyway.

But I'd say just make a new thread for convenience.  They're not a finite resource.  This thread is already crapped up.

Er, you're talking about doing this via a program right?

Of course.  Forum RP is a horrible idea, and never lasts long.
