Message:I never meant to say I had trouble finding my picklock skill. A scan of the page and sure, there it is.
What I see in CoC is there are NO useful skills. Off the top of my head I can think of twenty swaggering in Where Fools Dare to Tread that are useful. I saw all too apparent flaws of CoC and wrote a better representation of the genre.
Chaosium has a hodgepodge of life crap that I'm surprised Sandy didn't add Eating and Pissing as skills. It's the SIMS where you die.
Fun as a one-off once, but as a game, sux, sux, sux.
Wait, I don't have a PICKLOCK skill! Sure glad I can swim 15% and still am able to bathe on Sunday, when I can make that roll. The rest of the week, I'm dead. Well, I have already said that sux.
Your defense is indefensible; just say it's a guilty pleasure, not for anyone else. Like eating pickled beets. CoC the Russian version of a horror hamburger.
Yours,
