The World Is Indeed Comic, But The Joke Is On Mankind

What lay behind our joint love of shadows and marvels was, no doubt, the ancient, mouldering, and subtly fearsome town in which we live - witch-cursed, legend-haunted Arkham, whose huddled, sagging gambrel roofs and crumbling Georgian balustrades brood out the centuries beside the darkly muttering Miskatonic.

—HP Lovecraft

The year is 1926, and it is the height of the Roaring Twenties. Flappers dance till dawn in smoke-filled speakeasies drinking alcohol supplied by rum runners and the mob. It’s a celebration to end all celebrations in the aftermath of the War to end all Wars.

Yet a dark shadow grows in the city of Arkham, Massachusettes. Alien entities known as Ancient Ones lurk in the emptiness beyond space and time, writhing at the gates between worlds. Strange dreams, odd occurences and otherwordly clues have drawn a scant few from near and far to the city of Arkham.

Only a handful of investigators stand against the Arkham Horror. Will they prevail?

I think enough people are interested for me to run this, so have at it.

Please Comment If Interested

The number of people actively participating changed the dynamics somewhat, so I need to know how many of you exactly will be participating. Whether you plan to be an investigator or a cultist would also be helpful, since the number of investigators changes the number of cultists I'll accept. Thanks in advance? I'm out of town currently, but if enough people show interest I might be able to set things up after Thursday.
If you could also mention what days/times would be best, that would be very helpful.
