Default New Here, Old with BRP

Hello, I just found my way here through a link at Mongoose Publishing. I go back to first edition Runequest and Call of Cthulhu.

I ran my first Call of Cthulhu game as a non-Lovecraftian pulp adventure in Africa, with my intrepid heroes scaling the "Ju-Ju Plateau" to battle Atlantean mummies and rescue a lost aviator.

My favorite Call of Cthulhu experience, though, came when I ran Alone Against the Wendigo for my pre-school age son (he was probably about 5 at the time). His character's ultimate fate was brain extraction and a one-way trip to Yuggoth; at which point, he jumped up from the table and declared, "H. P. Lovecraft is a terrible writer who writes terrible things!"

My primary gaming interest is wargames (boardgames); but I also enjoy historical miniatures, HeroClix, and various RPGs, with CoC as my all-time favorite.

And now to check out the news and the downloads!
