Right! Here ewe go then.
6th edition rules
The scenario is set in the modern-day, starting in Alexandria, Egypt. and taking in various other places in the world. The Linguistics professor has been pressured by the dean of his University to take part in a TV series
The characters I am looking for are as follows;
A Linguistics professor (the brains of the outfit - important)
A highly ambitious TV reporter (financial support through network - BBC / National Geographic / CNN /
)
An focused agent of the law / military (the group tank - important)
This game is not level based. You start out as ordinary Joe Public - well, within your occupation that is, and as you get exposed to baddies and sanity-blasting Mythos events / creatures, you use your skills. Every skill you succeed at you get a 'check'. at an appropriate juncture (probably between countries) I may allow you to increase your 'checked' skills.
Skills are percentile based, the better you are at something, the higher your chance to succeed. Simply roll equal to or under your skill 'score' to be successful. But I'll go into that more in depth later.
A word on Sanity before I go. Sanity, as the name implies is how much of a grip you have on what we would call the 'real world'. However, as you uncover deeper and darker truths, your Sanity slowly at first starts to take hits. If it gets too low, like Hit Points for example, then your investigator may get sectioned, or worse.
