Pulp Cthulhu: Strange Highways |🏳️‍🌈 Play By Post | Modern era

Creating your character

I have several pre-made characters to choose from for those who do not feel like making their own, if you wish to make your own, we will be using the default Pulp Cthulhu Medium Pulp rules and I will be happy to set aside a little time to walk you through the process and get to know the character you're trying to bring. Each character will get a solo character intro of events which bring them into the story. We will work out over discord how characters tie together and any backstory elements we can use to build our journey together.

Preparing for the session

Sheets will be put into discord and I will have a dice rolling bot to handle dice checks. Feel free to write backstory if you desire, I will work to make it relevant. If you're interested in playing, for one on one solo stories I don't mind matching whatever pace you like to work at. When participating in a group adventure, I'd like for you to be able to post at least a couple times a week to keep the story going. More is welcome because this is just a for fun project for me, my posting frequency will largely be dependent on what I'm given and I will try to reply when I see a post come in. But also as this is a price flexible experience, I am not promising specific metrics, but I'll probably post in a way which moves things along at least once a day if I've gotten a post.

What Weird Wanderings brings to the table

I will bring: PDF rulebooks and Character sheets Well informed system knowledge to aid in character creation and storytelling Witty Banter My Imagination You will bring: Your imagination A discord account $15 if you can spare it ----- GM style: I'm a story addict who loves to create worlds with people. I think people are at their best when they are telling stories together, and I tend to be very big on giving the players agency and following the rule of cool, I "Yes and" often, and "No...but!" as a backup plan, and I'm happy to spin yarn for as long as the group wants to see what happens next.

Homebrew rules

Full Homebrew rules on discord. In short, some skills are tweaked according to the era in which the character is played, and experience is modified for play by post. I am open to homebrew traits/spells/artifacts according to whatever story we're looking to tell.

How Weird Wanderings creates a safe table

The details: We'll be using Pulp Cthulhu and likely using a combination of original ideas from me and published materials to tell the story of our unique band of misfits brought together by fate, or perhaps something unspeakable beyond to protect reality as we know it. In character conceptually this game may span multiple generations of history, sometimes unjust or hateful ideals may appear as part of the story, presence of hate in the narrative does not condone such mindsets, and is often an opportunity for heroes to intercede to make things better. Out of Character rules of conduct comes down to the usual you should expect in current year right? Keep all -isms (Racism, sexism, agism) and -phobia's (Homophobia, transphobia, Phobophobia) out of the space and just generally don't be mean to people who are different from you. we're all here to tell a story together so lets be kind to one another. As for safety tools, We'll talk things out before the we get started on an individual basis to get characters worked out, discuss lines and veils, and generally get to know one another. The Discord will have a feedback channel for stars and wishes, and my DMs will always be open to all players to discuss ideas as well as concerns.
