Building your Investigator, One Job at a time (Professional Help for Call of Cthulhu)

Hey Mythos Fans, we’re back for another article in our series on putting together an investigator for the Call of Cthulhu Roleplaying Game from Chaosium.If you’re curious, check out the first part of our series further back in our archives, just look over on the right side at the article list and find the ones on Call of Cthulhu.  Today we’re going to take a closer look at one of the more critical decisions that you get to make when you’re building a character.  What is your character’s occupation?  In some games this represents your character’s class, or primary job.  CoC takes this in a different direction, and looks at your character’s occupation as the penultimate piece of your background before you found your way into the Mythos.  What were you before the madness started to leak into the world?
