besides the fact that the "NEW CoC" everyone keeps fretting/theorizing about IS NOT the *NEW* CoC. it's simply ANOTHER VERSION of rules to be used for Call of Cthulhu, created (from what i understand) with Chaosium's blessings. it will not replace BRP CoC any more than d20 CoC did...

It occurs to me that in order to avoid "wheel re-invention", the path of least resistance seems to lead to giving the freaky/disturbing/horrifying occurence something equivalent to "Potency", just like a poison or disease. (even though i'm on the fence about Opposed tests...) OR A Character...

Exactly so...my desire is an OGL modern horror ruleset using MRQ. Seems simple enough, so i might as well get to work on it myself. -k

Would love to see someone get ahold of S. M. Stirling's Dies the Fire / Protector's War / A Meeting at Corvallis... First one's still my fave, and the 3rd isn't out til tommorow, but dang...sweet, sweet Post Apoc mixed with Fantasy. -k

Would love to see a Sanity add-in... I'd prefer something more akin to the CoC Hit Point-like verison of Sanity, just so you could add a "Horror Mythos" (or whatever) skill and subtract its value from Sanity a la CoC. -k

I'd prefer something Romero-style, like: Zombies only suffer damage from Impaling weapons, and then only with a hit to the Head. All other hits cause only cosmetic damage. (missing limbs, hacked off bits, etc.) If a body part is destroyed/severed, the Zombie might lose movement capability...

same here...i'll be starting my campaign in Texas, since it's a place my group and i are intimately familiar with. the journey to Colorado shouldn't be hard to pull off, and will put us all on "familiar ground" initially. :) -k

righto...except for the fact that OGL Wild West, for example, clearly states the methods, while Jeremiah does not. I'm simply playing Devil's Advocate; I've been playing rpgs since 1978, so it's not as if I don't understand the process. I'm simply anticipating the potential for entery-level...

try as i might, i have yet to find a reference to exactly how to allocate starting attributes for characters. I understand the neccesary vagueness involved when the product isn't "d20 branded", but for a new player who's maybe just a Jeremiah fan and not a d20 player and doesn't have the PHB...

well, what do you know...Rural Upbringing has been added to the Errata. Squeaky wheel, etc. :D -k

that was kinda my rationale as well, FuryMaster. I'm was born and raised in the Suburbs, but have family from and currently live in a Rural area, so i stand by my concept based primarily on experience. Quality of Education is the primary aspect i considered when doing the Rural background...

Furymaster, It sure does...right in the back. Nothing fancy, but it'll do in a pinch. Hoping to see some cool fan-made sheets...no ink-bombs, but something a little more evocative of the series. one minor quibble is an apparent layer misadjustment on p.2 of the sheet, right-hand side. ...

Just curious...why isn't there and option for "Rural" under the "Upbringing" section in the rulebook?? I mean, i can ADD it myself of course, making the new table: 1-2 Rural 3-4 Inner City 5-6 Suburban 7-8 Upscale and creating Feats, Skills, & Ability Modifiers for that type, but I was...
