Call of Cthulhu

Anyone played this RPG?

It's great. Hilarity ensues at every moment. There's something magical about getting attacked by a formless spawn and pissing it off with a flashlight, causing your character to go insane.

Have you ever seen the movie by the H.P. Lovecraft historical society?

I GMed (Keepered, I guess) this once. Good times, indeed. One of the players managed to get killed roughly five minutes into the game.

Gotta get the teacher at my school I met to play this with me. He plays DnD, this should appeal to him, considering he has a "vote for Cthulhu for 2008 - why settle for a lesser evil" poster in his class.

Yeah, I recommend throwing halogen flashlights into the maws of formless spawns. It's really funny.

I highly recommend the "Call Of Cthulu: Dark Corners Of The Earth" video game actually. It did a good job bringing one of Lovecrafts stories to life and definitely has the atmosphere that one would expect as well as the macabre weirdness.

I liked this game, but I haven't played the tabletop version in a long time. I can't find anyone around who plays

A friend actually hosted a few games on a Diff forum. it was a lot of fun.

I'm currently in the midst of "Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth" if it isn't what you're already talking about. Great game, but the guy you play as really has to stop talking to himself.

I could seriously crowbar the hell out of the Esoteric Order of Dagon all freakin day.
