Hi everyone,
Our little play-by-post forum game is going great guns at the moment. I currently have five players but am seeking to replace 2 players that have recently dropped out because of other commitments. The game is in full swing at the moment, but it shouldn't take long to bring new players up to speed.
Characters available
Lucius - A scum from gunmetal city, handy in a fight but his interpersonal skills and knowledge of the underhives are his real value to the team.
Archimedes Vrak - A noble scholar who has started to become unhinged by the things he has read about the darkness in the universe.
Alternatively if you have another idea for a character I will see that I can do...
Here is a bit of preamble for the new campaign (which is based heavily on the most famous Call of Cthulhu adventure - the Masks of Nyarlathotep)
Perilous Adventures to Thwart the Dark God
"Then came too late the warning of the evil ones, the sardonic caution of the daemon legate who had bidden the seeker beware the madness of that song. Only to taunt had Tzeentch marked out the way to safety and the marbellous sunset city; only to mock had that black messenger revealed the secret of these truant dark gods whose steps he could so easily lead back at will. For madness and the void's wild vengeance are Tzeentch's only gifts to the presumptuous...
"...go out among men and find the ways thereof, that He in the Gulf may know. To Tzeentch, Mighty Changer of ways, must all things be told. And he shall put on the semblance of me, the waxen mask and the robe that hides, and come down from the world of seven suns to mock..."
-- after H. P. Lovecraft
A Campaign for Dark Heresy based on the Classic Call of Cthulhu campaign
When a rich noble playboy met the captivating offworld woman, he took a turn for the worse. Every morning he related strange recurring dreams full of Alien symbols and mystic beckonings. Though never before interested in Zakhara's history or archaeology, he suddenly organized an archaeological expedition to that ancient planet. His friends were puzzled, and the newsfeed gossip columns were fascinated. No one ever imagined that the expedition would meet such a terrible fate a few months later....
Settings include Solomon, Cantus, Zakhara,, Dreath and other worlds of the Markyn Marches; puzzling clues are discovered in each locale, but can the hapless acolytes survive long enough to make sense of them? Background notes and a variety of play aids help keep players and their acolytes on their toes during dozens of discrete adventures. Horrifying schemes, deadly adversaries, and sanity-threatening events challenge the coolest members of the Holy Inquisition as the team attempts to unravel the fate of the missing Expedition.
