I'll be running Call of Cthulhu this Sunday. I'll be using the classic The Haunted House scenario (called The Haunting these days), which Logan has played through once but Rawl and Rich are completely in the dark about. As far as I know, out of the four of us, only Logan and I have played CoC before. Thankfully, the rules aren't too complicated -- and I handled the generation of characters on my own. I gave everyone the ability to choose what type of character they wanted to play, and then I did the rest (including stats, names and even short backgrounds).

We'll see how this goes. If everyone has fun, perhaps we can play again in two weeks. If nobody wants to continue, though, I think I'm going to start looking into something a bit more longer-term. I've had the ability to run some of the games I was dying to run as one-shots, so it's probably about time to get going something that will last a few months.

Sadly, I'm far from being ready to run Blue Planet; otherwise I'd go with that. There's just so much in Blue Planet that it's difficult to focus. Also, I haven't read through all the books yet. I should at least get through the Haven sourcebook ... and maybe through Frontier Justice, as well.

How about cutting loose and doing something with a superhero theme? I haven't run a supers game in years. I'll have to think about this a bit. I only have a small number of supers games -- Marvel Basic Set, GURPS Supers and Godlike -- and I don't know if any of them fit with the type of game I'd like to run. Besides, the others may not be interested in a supers game.
