>>24243421>>24243542My best One Shot experience, if not overall TTRPG experience was a CoC session with one experienced DMs and a group of people with not prior experience whatsoever. So I absolutely agree, it feels like the perfect place to start off mechanics wise. I don't know how difficult it is to get permissions for that kind of stuff, but I don't see why Chaosium would object to free promotion or why management would object at all.
I had ten, maybe sessions, so I say this as a newcomer
