What the Heck Is This?
Chuckling Cthulhu is a LARP troupe specializing in - but
not limited to -
Call of Cthulhu live-action events. If you don't know what RPGs are or
what LARPing is, this site probably isn't for you... If, however, the
idea of battling
vast unknowable creatures that, upon close examination, seem to be a
little on the home-made side, then this is the troupe for you!
When Does This Happen?
We intend to run at least two events per year - more than that depends
upon our schedule. Usually, our games are scheduled between spring and
fall, to take advantage of the lovely weather here in San Francisco.
Nifty. How Do I Join?
As each event is planned, this site will feature event-specific pages
giving all details about game setting, scheduling, dues and the like.
Game Locale
Unless noted otherwise on the specific event page, all games
will be occuring in various neighborhoods of the San Francisco bay
area. We run at conventions and we run stand-alone events.
Dues
At conventions, our events are part of the scheduled
programming and there is no additional fee.
We charge dues at non-convention events. Dues range from $20 - $40 per
person, depending upon the
game. All fees must be paid in advance of the
game, unless a special arrangement is made with the staff. Keep in mind
that the typical budget for a Chuckling Cthulhu event is
usually
at least $500 for an event accommodating 15 - 20 players. We have to
make that back, somehow...
Payments
may be made with cash, money order or personal check. We're
always willing to consider an 'installment plan' as long as the
concerned player
contacts us in a timely manner. Sometimes, we will consider barter,
depending
upon our event's needs, so feel free to contact us - particularly if
you have a
talent for making tomes, eldritch monsters or a spare lighting rig
lying around
your house.
Logistics
Unless stated otherwise on the game's description page, Chuckling
Cthulhu uses Cthulhu Live!, 2nd edition for all events.
Characters are pre-generated ahead of time and, schedule permitting,
casting of those characters is performed before game day. Casting is
usually handled via flurries of e-mails - it's all very organic, you
know...
