Four Scenarios for the Call of Cthulhu
Roleplaying Game
Bad Dreams in an Old House
A relatively short scenario for beginning Investigators and players,
introducing some basic Lovecraftian elements. The Salstonstall real
estate agency in Arkham is trying to sell or lease an old house, but
anyone spending a few nights there refuses to take the place due to
nightmares.
Elements: Arkham Massachusetts, Salstonstall
realtors, old house, power of dreams, value of historical research,
old books, "That is not dead which can eternal lie",
decayed New England family, The Black Man, Elder Sign, Crawling One.
An award-winning (M.A.C.A.B.R.E. magazine) short scenario
for beginning Investigators, involving no exclusively Mythos elements. A young
couple about to be married have a problem: the woman's dead husband is
trying to kill them.
Elements: walking corpse, value of research,
telekinesis, non-combat solutions.
The Beast in the Black
A multiple session high powered scenario for a group of experienced
Investigators. A Mythos sorceress has died, and her house is slated for
demolition - perhaps some valuable equipment can be gathered?
Greatly expanded from an episode of an obscure television show
(The Greatest American Hero).
Elements: network of wizards, old house, magic books
& items, diaries, animated items, possession, Nightgaunts, Book of
Elder Wisdom, Gate spell, another dimension, The Haunter of the
Dark, The Shining Trapezohedron, Hunting Horrors, rivalries of
the Outer Gods, Nyarlathotep, and a not-so-benign Nodens.
The Necronomicon
A dramatic extensive globetrotting scenario for experienced players
(not necessarily characters), with the ultimate Mythos book as the
prize. A Miskatonic University alumnus has left his alma mater a copy
of the first Greek edition of the Necronomicon - the
Investigators merely have to pick it up for the school.
Elements: Miskatonic University, Professor Henry
Armitage, The Necronomicon, New York City, beautiful
heiress, The Horror at Red Hook, classic Greek mythology
and the Cthulhu Mythos, trail of lost diaries, Innsmouth jewelry, Deep
Ones, Greece, Gate spell, Algeria, Medusa and the Gorgons, Grae,
Yezidis, the N.Y.P.D., Dark Young, Shub-Niggurath, and immortality.
