In this thread we can discuss anything you'd like; the game situation, or what you had for lunch today.
I'll start by giving some general Call of Cthulhu playing tips:
- Just like in D&D, party composition is important. You need one investigator who is good at research, one who is good at talking their way into and out of situations, one who is medically trained, one who is a sharpshooter, and one who is a good physical fighter (be that punching, grappling, or using a melee weapon).
- Avoid gunfights when possible, especially at close range.
- You can improve your sanity by stays at the sanitarium.
- Many monsters are immune to bullets, at least non-silver ones. Hand-to-hand weapons, particularly ones like swords with a parry ability, can be more effective against them. Magic is usually the most effective option, however.
- You will get arrested by the police if you carry weapons openly or egregiously break the law (like assassinating the big bad guy who also happens to be the mayor's best friend).
