That's the problem with a lot of horror games; you start acting paranoid when your characters have no reason to. Definitely *not* specifically a CoC problem. > If you've access to a copy of Misty Lackey's _Children of the Night_, > there's some decent group-dynamic in there as a band comes under the > influence of a dubious Svengali-figure. Never read any Lackey. I've been put off her writing by her quote about cliches being useful shortcuts for readers... I'd actually *like* to base the band on the characters in the online game, rather than just use the concept, because I may be running the game for some of the same players. (Which probably heightens the problem above). > In a longer-term game the audience would become cultists, going off and > starting their own... "fan clubs". :-) This will probably be a one-shot rather than a campaign, but that's worth thinking about for a possible sequel. ---------------------------------------------------------------- GAMERS Home Page: http://www.phoenyx.net/gamers/
