In London in the summer of the year 1600, a new play has come to the Globe Theatre: “The Pirates of Candle Cove.” But strange things soon start happening. Can an actor, a stage hand, and a musician stop the play or will Candle Cove unfold?

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 seventeenth session of the game took place on July 5, 2015, with the original scenario “The Play’s the Thing: The Pirates of Candle Cove.” While not technically in Providence or with the Providence group, this interim game has connections with the campaign game that will soon be revealed. My players were Nissa, Kyle, and Hannah.
