Diary of an Amatuer Keeper

Rate this Entry
I have run D20 CoC two nights, and I can honestly say that it is way more fun than I thought it would be. I spent a couple months trying to "learn" how to Keep. I was reading articles, watching/listening-to game sessions trying to figure out some "formula" or method for steering the adventure. Being a Keeper wasn't really my ideal choice. But where I am located there are currently NO CoC games around, D20 or Classic. There are only D&Ders, Magic players, and Warhammer guys. I work at my friends comic book/hobby store and decided to pick a night and run D20 CoC. Well, so far I've only had two PCs but that has worked out so much better than I thought. I was worried about them dying or not really picking up on clues which isn't the case. I've also realized that I cannot doubt that the story will take the course that's intended. So far I have ran "The Haunting" and "Edge of Darkness" and it's been a blast. If anyone is wondering if they should run a game because of a lack of CoC in their area, I encourage it. After all, if you don't, then who will? Being a keeper is just as much fun as being a character, and for some it is MORE fun, mwahaha! I am so glad I found that D20 CoC rulebook hidden on a shelf at my friend's shop. I believe it was fate...

    Good for you - hopefully you'll pick up more players as your existing victims promote it

    Nice work its seems to be one of the harder things to find,that person who is prepared to be a Keeper as everyone wants to be a player myself included so good job stepping up and getting people to give Cthulhu a go.Did the players stay on plot or did they go off story? thats the main thing that scares me when I think about being a Keeper as I'm not to good on doing things on the fly.
