The rules (FREE)

Pokethulhu is...well...take a wild guess.  It's free.  You play as cultists.  Yelling out "HASTUR HASTUR HASTUR" can actually give you an advantage.  What's not to like?

This will be a completely forum-based game.  I'd like about 4 players.  Standard cultist creation, you have one thulhu at the start of the game, starting thulhu has 18 points instead of the standard 20, you make the thulhu.  Yes, I'm giving you relatively low powered thulhu.

I don't have much written out, and will mostly be improvising based on your decisions.

Also, Chaos Card suggestions are welcome.  I'll be handling Chaos Cards by giving everyone two at the start of the game (random ones, chosen through dice), and giving them out as rewards for awesome stuff, as the system in the rules for giving Chaos Cards doesn't really work on a forum.  Maximum number of Chaos Cards you can have at a time is 3.

Rolling House Rule: There is no such thing as an automatically successful roll, rolling 12 is always a failure.  If you have 12 in some stat, and roll against that stat, and roll a 1, you'll have a critical success: you do whatever you're doing incredibly well, getting some sort of special bonus.

So.  Anybody?

Players:
1. Nirur Torir (Timothy Alesworth)
2. Cerapa (Ozymandias, King of Kings)
3. eclipsetail (Amelia Suzi)
4. RAM (Carmilla Eloise Hampton)
Waiting List:
1. Akigagak

This looks interesting, downloading now. I'll tentatively reserve a spot for the next two hours while I look over the rules. (Reservation ends if I don't post again, but I probably will. Just want to know what I'm getting into.)

Edit: In.

I'm in. I was thinking about making a creation thread, but you probably have some stuff I don't know about. IF you have an DM stuff, PM it to me. No campaigns though.

Waiting for characters...

[eclipsetail]

Spoiler: character (click to show/hide)

Is this fine?

[Jack A T]

You went with a high injure attack and 1 power?  Um...

Everything else, however, is fine.

But the speed...

[Hugehead]

I'm already in the other one so watching for now but I might want to be on waitlist.

But the speed...

With the way combat works, that high speed won't be helping you much.  You would have to roll at or under both your speed (for trapping and dodging) and your Pokethulhu Lore. (Missed that last bit the first time, sorry)

I can see you mostly depending on speed attacks (which I forgot about when writing my first reply) and trapping to win fights, but something needs to be adjusted to get your character to be reasonably powerful.
