Call of Cthulhu Providence Campaign 8 – Homecoming

When a friend and neighbor asks several of the investigators to come to his coming of age party at the old homestead in rural Ohio, no one suspects that the entire house will turn into a terrible trap for all of them. Will they be able to save the soul of William H. Pendergast IV? Will they be able to save themselves?

I started running a Call of Cthulhu campaign for students at Appalachian State University in March 2014. The game was set in Providence, R.I., starting in the summer of 1925. The eighth session of the game took place on August 31, 2014, with the scenario “Homecoming” by James Tremlett which was originally posted online (the site is no longer valid, however). My players were Aaron, James Brown, Kyle, and James Williams.
