Scoobythulu

I've always had an affinity for unlikely mashups. I think they just work. And I've always thought that the gameplay in a call of cthulu game bears a striking similarity to an episode of scooby doo. So the thought of a comical cthuluian horror game is very appealing to me. And lo and behold but someone has taken the words from my mouth.

Now, I'm not sure my first choice of rules for this game would be d100 coc (I'd be more partial to cartoon action hour), but I think what was put together here works nicely.

Any takers out there on running this strange mix of musical, comedy, and sanity-bending horror?

Re: Scoobythulu

I can't run it, but I think this is the first CoC idea that has piqued my interest in a long time.

Scooby-thuly-luuuu!

If you do find a GM, this game will be awesome.

Re: Scoobythulu

Dear lord, this is an abomination.  Albeit one that somehow works.

I am tempted, though I know I am a bit too dark of a CoC GM for it.  On a side note Eggy, have you ever seen Delta Green?

Lol, my son ran a Johnny Quest-Cthulhu game at Origins a couple years back.  Seemed like everyone had a good time.

Re: Scoobythulu

This just made R'lyeh flounder. I bet no one's allowed to kill the characters here, so I ain't running it in sometime X))

Re: Scoobythulu

In reply to pfarland (msg # 3):

I am tempted too. This idea is too good to ignore, but I agree that d100 should make way for an alternative system.

But I've always wanted to try Steve Jackson's Toon: http://www.sjgames.com/toon/deluxe_edition.html
