If you have read the quick start rules that would be great but to honest you can play with no experience of Call of Cthulhu.
What I provide
Game play: Mix of theatre of the mind, maps and handouts via discord.

How will character creation work
Hello and thank you for signing up to play in the Puppet Playhouse. Discord will be our voice and information exchange. If you’ve not used it before, it's super simple. You’ll need to sign up for a free account if you don’t have one already. You can use it streaming or can download the app onto your computer or phone/tablet (I recommend downloading the app onto your computer). You can do that here: https://discord.com/ Once you are all set up there, my server - where you will find our voice chat and a text chat is located here: https://discord.gg/Vjfr9FDW24 I also recommend using a pair of headphones when we play. If you have any questions between now and game time - just let me know! -Professor Bob
