Play by e-mail?

By Ecclesia Militans, in CoC General Discussion

Is anyone possibly interested in a play by e-mail game?

I have been pouring over the PDF files of the Rulebook/FAQs/Errata as well as internet videos and I am ready to make my 1st purchase of this really awesome game. Just last week I searched my hometown for players at the local game shop but to no avail. The area’s Craiglist is also pretty barren.

I’m not so sure how this could be done but I’m sure it isn’t impossible.

Has anyone participated in an impromptu play by e-mail game before; maybe even using Skype?
If so, do you have a set format/annotation for this game? I would be interested in hearing about it.

Thanks everyone for the help! Though no other Lovecraftian game (board or video) has ever beckoned to me before I am a big fan of Lovecraft’s work and am ecstatic that this Fantasy Flight game is a way that I can participate in his mythos!

Valete.

Which area are you located in?

Hi, I live in the Central San Joaquin Valley of California. The population here as has grown alot but a network of local players has yet to really devolop; outside MTG and Yu-gi-oh, that is.

I would recommend Lackey http://www.lackeyccg.com/'
There is CoC plugin for that program. Lackey takes some time to get used to but it is ok program for playing CoC when u get used to it. More info in here http://boardgamegeek.com/thread/675324/play-cthulhu-lcg-online-with-lackey

Yeah, if I can't find anyone local or someone to play over the internet via email I'm probably going to end up checking this out. I heard of OCTaGoN and Lackey on these forums but just wasn’t interested in investing the time to learn the interface at the time. Maybe now it's time. Thanks for the link!
