Oh, I'd love to see the Portsmouth RPG Society trying out the flavour of
Call of Cthulhu officially found here at A.S.C. Just imagine the
transcript...
KEEPER: OK, John, your policewoman's been grabbed by the tentacles.
[Rolls dice.] 03... bad news, I'm afraid. They've managed to slip
inside the trouser-cuffs and straight into her knickers.
JOHN: OK, I'm trying to clamp my legs together and keep it out of my
privates.
DEREK [whispers to FELIX]: I think John gets a bit too involved in his
characters sometimes.
ESTHER [whispers to DEREK]: Sssh.
KEEPER: OK, resisted Strength roll. What do you get?
JOHN: [Rolls dice.] 25.
KEEPER: Not a chance; one slips in and a few others pull her legs apart.
JOHN: Fuck, what sort of STR does that thing have?
KEEPER: Wait until you see its Potency rating. OK, what are the rest of
you doing? Esther?
ESTHER: I'm pulling out my Elder Sign and trying to ward the beast off.
DEREK: Can I get a clear shot in without hitting John?
KEEPER: What are you using?
DEREK: Shotgun.
KEEPER: You might be able to get a shot in at the base of the tentacles
- John's character's being held up off the floor. If you miss, though,
there's a chance that she'll take some damage.
DEREK: I'll spend this round aiming to improve my chances.
KEEPER: OK, you'll get a 25% bonus to hit next round. Felix?
FELIX: I'm taking pictures.
(All names and dialogue were made up on the spot, folks.)
