Charlie Potts

This is another pregen character for an upcoming Call of Cthulhu 7E game.

Not a lot is known about Charlie. He was in the service, but doesn't like to talk about it.

After which he purchased a bar and has been running it ever since. Charlie has a way

Of being gruff and aloof, yet at the same time charming. Spending anytime around Charlie

Will prove that he is a deep thinker and we'll read. It takes a lot for anyone to get close to Charlie, once you do Charlie is as loyal as they come.

Thomas Landers

Thought I might try my hand at making a CoC 7E character using just the quick start rules. Will use it as an available pregen for a later game.

Landers never was good at taking orders or working for others. Preferring to be his own boss. From a young age Landers was good at finding people and digging up information he needed. Finding work quickly as a P.I. and occasionally a bounty hunter Landers is highly motivated to do what it takes to stay independent and not starve to death.

Landers has two major contacts. His childhood best friend is a detective in the local precinct, and he has a brother working in city records.

Connections: Charlie's bar, Charlie is an old friend and Landers has a booth in the back. Sometimes you just need a quiet place to relax and unwing. Landers has a Friday night card game with a group of guys from the old neighborhood.

Call of Cthulhu 7th Ed. Rpg

When I first read that a 7th edition was coming, and that there would be some changes I really didn't think much of it. I've run a little Call of Cthulhu, but I've run quite a bit of Basic roleplay system so I'm very familiar with the core system. I had the idea that I really didn't need a new system, I liked the BRP system as it is.

I decided to pick up the quick start, and give it a look over. I was a bit surprised. The level of success system is really nice, no more opposed roll chart. And a built in critical success system for combat.

Bonus and penalty die was a surprise, rolling extra dice and keep either the low or the higher 10s die.

The ability to press a failure into a success is an interesting concept as well.

I was impressed enough that I picked up the investigators handbook. I will be picking up the physical copies once they are available. This looks to be a great system for Cthulhu, I see myself using it for other games as well.
