Sou do brasil tbm.. pra mim foi mais tranquilo porque eu entendo ingles é bem complicado achar informações de call of cthulhu em portugues :/

You have out thanks and our sympathy. Nothing ever goes to plan. I blame the Irish... Murphy to be precise... He is a rotten legislator.

Thank you for making these Paul, they're very helpful!

Damn - yes I meant to mention the auto-calc pdf sheets! I think I did on version one of this video, but iMovie refused to export it and I had to start again. I'll mention them on the next vid. Thanks.

No levels, but you can gain skill points - see Investigator Development Phase. There are enchanted weapons, such as knives, but these tend to aid on in casting spells rather than be magic weapons as one would find in D&D. There are some mythos weapons, such as a lightening gun, but they can be dangerous to the unskilled human user. Hope that helps!

I tend to go for a spread of skills, but that's just personal preference. I prefer a more rounded character over min/maxing. However, if there is one skill that defines the character I'd put it really high. So if I was making a sharp-shooter, I'd max out their rifle skill. What approach do others take?

You can begin with just the free Quick-Start. If you want to buy just one book, get the Keeper Rulebook. It's not like D&D: the Investigator Handbook is a supporting book not the core rules. Hope it works well for you.

So long as your group agree on the method, then I think do whatever you wish.

If you know about the era then you can probably get away with the core rulebook and your imagination. Beyond that, there is a slim volume called Cthulhu through the Ages which covers a range of periods. Then there are era-specific books such as Dark Ages, Roman and 1890s (Gaslight). Take a look on Chaosium.com

Thank you very much, I cannot wait to try some roman horrors :D And againt thanks for these videos I really enjoyed them and is a pleasure listening to you explaining :-)

It was something that got added in to allow players to record a change in movement rate for something in their character background, such as an old injury (causing a lowering of movement rate by one). Can't think of an example of an example of why it would be increased right now.

I see. Thanks for the explanation, that was bugging me.

People do still create older PCs, but yes some characteristics do get reduced, but then EDU may rise. The principle has always been a part of the game, it's not new, just a little revised. Getting older isn't what it used to be! On skill rolls, the regular difficulty level, rolling under your full skill value, is intended to be far and away the most common. Hard and Extreme should be uncommon and rare - as you say, it's often difficult enough just passing a regular skill roll. Agreed it does mean things are not quite as simple as before. The numbers are there on the sheet, hopefully with a little experience both Keeper and players get used to it and the game flows.

There sure is! Check out the next video in this series [Creating Investigators (optional extras)] - there is the Quick-Start and point-buy methods.

Oh, well haven't seen that. I will go watch it now. Thank you for the quick answer.

True, but the new edition adds the 'push mechanic' and luck spends, presenting the player with options to succeed if they wish to (a) take a risk, or (b) use up a limited resource. But yeah, failure is an option too. If you're not familiar with pushed rolls, they are explained in the third video in this series: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/gM1dg5amnsWvc40.html
