A few things on how I do rolls and house rules and fun stuff: I roll the same way the manual does on difficulty, and I replace chaos cards in the third edition with eldritch mutations that allow permanent or daily use. I also do weapons, and you can carry people back to town, but with consequences such as no attacks from the cultist carrying his buddy. I also do rolls for encounters, the higher it is the more likely the encounter, and if you hit a one of a pair of special numbers (secret for now, although it doesn't matter) I roll from a different list of non thulu combat encounters. Since we have five players, there will be more wild pokethulu in a group than normal. This may extend combat, but I gotta get people through the waiting list and make this have a degree of action and difficulty. I control NPCs, or someone on the waiting list will. And my campaign only is written to a certain point (look at the map in the rules to get it), after that it's players decisions and rolls. I also determine sigil locations, which are the Pokethulu equivalent of gym badges. These are based on four aspects and then four personalities. I haven't read The tale of Cthulu, so bare with me on screw ups on story references.

You don't have a trash talking skill, you replaced it with stealth.

It doesn't have to be trash talking.

Unless that is what you wanted.

Yeah, I changed it. Remember, add an aspect. Tell me and I'll drop that in there.

So are you saying I can't use stealth? I'm confused.
And wouldn't that be our aspect?

edit:
I fail at reading XD.
Changing to trash talking.

Aspects are: Decomposing, Squamous, Non-Euclidean,Fishy, Fungous,Icy, Luminescent and sticky. Pokethulu have two, cultists have one. If you have a Pokethulu with an aspect that is the same as yours you can train it an extra dice. And some other stuff I'll show you when the time comes. :P
