That would be me.
It's WEIRD - I posted two messages noting and explaining this last
evening. They didn't show up here. I think it was because I hadn't
officially joined the group until after... Oh well.
But YES.
That was me. I also posted the recent thread on RPGnet regarding
Pokethulhu that seems to be getting good response.
I'm Kevin (Kev or Demongg), I have always been interested in
Pokethulhu and recently learned several other of my fellow Seattle
Gamers are interested - so I'm planning to run a short-shot session
or two for our weekly gatherings of the group. We have a group in
Seattle called "Seattle Gamers Assemble" a yahoo group that gathers
weekly to play various RPGs the community is over 250 strong with a
few dozen really active folks.
In starting to plan I'm reorganizing my old notes and gathering new
ideas. I built several wikis for home campaigns and have found that
RPGnet's wiki forum is a perfect place to hold the more detailed Game
Information and fan based additions.
So this is an open wiki for the Pokethulhu RPG. Anyone can update it
as a normal wiki. I'll be a lurking moderator for it to make sure
things don't go wacky. But PLEASE jump in and post your ideas. It's
meant to be a repository for everyone who digs this little indy game.

I grabbed this Wikipedia info and am starting to transplant it to the
RPGnet Wiki I have started. This wiki isn't subject to the published
facts only that would occur with Wikipedia and can have sections for
fan based material - including new thulhu, props, adventures, or even
fan-fic, etc...

As with the info created on the Wikipedia article - NONE of the
postings on this wiki are meant to challenge the rights of any company
or individual.
It's a wiki afterall
If your work has been used in the cobbling of the resource without
notation and you want to add that, by all means do so.
Some of the info on the RPGnet Pokethulhu wiki was paraphrased from
this and other forum threads that are posted for the public. But I'm
a firm believer in credit when due. So apologies to John for
paraphrasing his post from this forum - I just felt is was a very
handy tid-bit of info on running/GMing your own Pokethulhu game.
If anything is light in the Pokethulhu text it's GMing ideas for
setting the scene... so the more the better IMHO.
John, please feel free to edit the wiki and add in your own copywrite
anywhere needed.
It's in smaller print but on the Main Page at the bottom I included
this note before posting anything (last night), but it's at the
bottom and easy to miss...
"ALL Characters, Settings and Company Copywrites and Trademarks
mentioned on these wiki pages are the property of their respective
creators. Their mention on this page is NOT intended as a challenge to
existing copyrights. They are used here expressly for fan enjoyment.
Pokéthulhu Adventure Game is published by Cumberland Games and Diversions.

Kevin Perrine."
anyway...
I hope you guys enjoy the Wiki I'm developing for Pokethulhu. I'll be
adding to in alot in the coming weeks as I prep for my game gangs.
I'd encourage any of you to add details and ideas to the wiki,
including creating a database of all "official" and also "unofficial"
thulhu, rules and ideas for all to enjoy!
Let me know what you think!
Thanks for support.

PS...
As a side note I mentioned on one of my lost posts that I got to work
with John Kovalic in the past... I was lead designer at WizKids and
created an ad (graphics and concept) for Mage Knight Artifacts.
"Putting the -IF- back in art-IF-acts" which featured an original
cartoon by Mr. Kovalic.
So hopefully I'll be able to pore some of that skill into creating
some neat props for my short-shot and I will surely share them with
you all.
thanks again
