What is /tg/ opinion on Chtulhu Dark? Anyone tried it?
I have to run a one shot for some friends, 3 of which are women (who in my experience are not really able to follow more than 2 rules of an Rpg if they are not already into rpgs) so the narrative focus of cthulhu dark is excellent.
The lack of a wound/harm systems is kinda offputting, but I think I can improvise something.
Does anybody have experiences/tips/resources/forbidden knowledge to share?

Bump

No real tips, have a similar plan with Darkship to use some of the Mothership modules.
Its got a wound system that doesn't seem like it'll get in the way too much but still be useful. I'm inclined to have it increase mishaps to being on a 1-2 instead of just 1 but not sure.

>>96736228 (OP)
Haven't played it, but I just read the rules.
The failing rule sounds like a good way for players to get annoyed with each other. This sort of thing seems like it would do better as the Keeper rolling a die for failure if someone is working against the player for that roll.
The rerolling rule sounds like garbage, specifically because the rules say that even a roll of 1 gives a success.
If I was trying to tun the game, I'd make the above two changes.

Yeah I forgot about those.
Totally agree with you. I mean I get one reroll by adding insight die if it was not already rolled (similar to push a roll in CoC), but infinite rerolls is stupid.

is this like CoC?

There are 3 good Ctulhu-ish games, and CD is one of them.

Wounds are best left out of the game, as it is as close to HPL as you could be with more than 1 protagonist.
Use one of the scenarioes in the full game.

You don't get infinite rerolls.

>>96743213

Not particulary, even if it clearly stems from it and you investigate a mistery.

I like it a lot and have been using it for lots of different setting. In action-oriented games, I replace Insight by Stress.

>>96746708

Interesting. You mean action-horror or something more akin to pure action?

>>96746751
I'm currently running an MMA story set in Japan with expanded combat rules, and I also ran some Miami Vice / Max Payne inspired sessions with Stress instead of Insight.

>>96749572

This is like the last concept I'd consider for this game, but more power to you.

>>96745375
>You don't get infinite reroll

By the rules you do

>>96746708
Any tips about things to avoid or way to direct an investigation?

>>96757309
Nothing really specific to Cthulhu Dark.

>>96753423
Wait until I run a Battletech game with it.

>>96756298

Right, this is the newer version. Still, it makes sense, because you risk Insight overload.

>>96745375
Name the 2 other good Cthulhu games please.

I also like Cthulhu Deep Green, a Delta Green hack Cthulhu Dark which allows a bit more action.

>>96765136

Trail of Cthulhu and Lovecraftesque.

Is there any medieval hack for this? Googling is a pain since it just gives me Cthulhu Dark Ages as results.

>Lovecraftesque
Shit taste. Everything else you've said can be disregarded.

Anon, your character is literally composed of a name and a occupation. What is there to hack and make it "medieval" or whatever historial period?
