CthulhuTech, Notes for the New Year Options

[Redjack]

My gaming group played CthulhuTech for the first time on New Years. Initial Observations: Two thumbs up

For our group, I am the Shadowrun campaign GM so it was nice to be a player. Not knowing the game system and honestly a little hesitant to role-play a "Mech" game, I was a little pessimistic. I had picked up the PDF of the core rules when Catalyst was their publisher, but never really dug into it. Two of our players had been reading the rules; One of them has about every published book (I thought there was like 1 or 2, who knew there are 7? [Question is rhetorical, of course] )

We decided to just have the duo make a stack of characters and we would all choose from those pregens. Choosing characters took over an hour as we got an overview of the system and how the characters are different. Working through the first few rolls of the dice weren't too bad.... first impressions of the dice system: I really like it.

All in all, I am looking forward to our second session later this month.
