Or maybe your hard-boiled PI still has awful dreams about that foggy night his partner was dragged screaming into the river by something terrible a year ago. Perhaps your grizzled, mutton-chopped university professor has made some studies of those volumes kept in the locked room in the basement at the Miskatonic University to which only a select few hold a key. One thing you must have in your character sketch is a link, however slim, to the occult. You'll need to be able to commit to checking the thread and posting once a day (or thereabouts - everybody is busy sometime), and you should possess the willingness to see the adventure through rather than post twice and then flake out. Running away is often positively encouraged. Combat is occasional rather than regular, but thinking is mandatory. Remember that knowing your way around a library is just as valuable a skill as knowing which end of a shotgun goes boom. Simply post a character sketch or concept of your 1920's investigator and their place in Arkham, NE. Two spots on the adventure will be filled by who will be playing an academic of some sort, and (they will be posting their character sketches as well), and to complete the party I think three or four more investigators would do nicely. This will be the third adventure I've run in Critical Failures (I ran two D&D 4E adventures to completion a couple of years ago, but fancied something a little lighter on fiddling with maps and stats and heavier on RP). Since the adventure itself is designed to be completed in a single evening's play (say four hours of face to face gameplay), we should hopefully be able to see it through to the end in relatively short order.
CALL OF CTHULHU CHARACTER HOW TO
It will be set in HP Lovecraft's fictional town of Arkham, New England in 1920's America, so brush up on how to do the Charleston* and some appropriate slang for the era (go watch Miller's Crossing and then ask everybody in Arkham what the rumpus is). And now you have the opportunity to die horribly experience it for yourself. The Haunting is an absolute stone-cold classic adventure that perfectly sets up the setting, tone and gameplay of the Call of Cthulhu RPG. Most terrible of all, there is no internet, so research has to be done in libraries. Forbidden books of esoteric knowledge are pored over by studious academics and deranged occultists in equal number, driving them mad or giving them insight into the unseen world. Ancient cults who worship and serve beings they cannot comprehend lurk in dark alleys, waiting to club you over the head and make you the star attraction of their latest ritual sacrifice to a god whose name you cannot pronounce. Unknowable, indescribable, unnameable and impolite horrors from beyond our simple understanding of time and space collide with our world to further unguessable plans and schemes, the slightest glimpse of which might send a strong man insane. All those stories written by other people about things older than the human race and unknowable to our puny minds threatening our world were inspired by his writing. deploy/deploy.Call of Cthulhu, for those unfamiliar with it, is an RPG system set within the world created by the famed horror writer and casual racist HP Lovecraft. All you need to do to setup deploys is adjust deploy/deploy.sh to point to your server, ensuring that the user you specified for SSH has SSH privileges on that server. We use Docker and Distillery to generate releases. You can run the Credo linter by running mix credo. Individual application tests can be run by going to the app's root directory and running mix test. Tests for the all applications can be run by running mix test in the umbrella root. Get the Slack API token and put it in both places. However when we build a release for production we use the config/ file instead. This is because we use Travis as a CI server and it's easier to use env vars for these things. We use an environment variable called SLACK_API_TOKEN in dev and test environments to set the API token for the Slack Bot. You can check that everything is working by running the tests. Once you've cloned the project, run mix do deps.get pile. Cthulhu is an application that helps with the character side of things in a game of Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu RPG.
