After a two-month hiatus, my Monday night group, which has been playing CoC for the past few years, rejoined and discussed our return to Call of Cthulhu and Masks of Nyarlathotep.

The reasons for the hiatus are tied to my feelings on how Call of Cthulhu works in long form play. Basically, it doesn’t, and it’s very hard to keep a campaign going if you are playing it close to Rules As Written.

However, once my mind cleared I was able to focus on the three things that were adversely affecting our game and I tackled them one at a time. I thought about solutions and then we had regular discussions to fine tune the ideas into something that will work for our group.

I plan on tackling these issues, as well as my proposed solutions, and ultimately report back on whether they work or not, in the coming weeks. Stay tuned!
