So here's an interesting one for everyone to ponder over. While I have had some good to moderate success at getting some of my gamer friends to hop on the cuthulian monster train we all lovingly know as MoM here, I have some hold outs against playing it for only one reason. You can't create your own investigators.

Most gamers I play with are MOSTLY of the role-playing orientation, and would prefer to make their own unique investigators. While I have tried to dissuade them from this for obvious reasons (I.E. body count/debilitating madness...), they refuse to relent...

So my question to all of you is, have any of you attempted to create your own investigators before, having used the trait and starting equipment cards from other investigators? Any thoughts on this, or should I just stop trying to bring them on board you think?

Thanks in advance for any ideas, advice, or experience you may give!

I created Sam and Dean Winchesters investigators for MoM. The thread should be somewhere on this forum.

Trololo,

I did some digging, and couldn't run across it unfortunately. Can you tell me if you used a pool of points to distribute to create their stats, and if so how many did you start with?

I'm not so much concerned with coming up with starting equipment cards or the like at this point (me and my friends are old hands at making up such things via photoshop for other games...), just more about how you generated the stats for the characters is all right now.

My investigator's items and perks are a bit too powerful, so I lowered their overall stats and sanity/stamina.
