Call of Cthulhu – The Last Voyage of the Ivory Pride Session One (Skype Game)

by  • 

On July 22, 2015, we played a one-shot Call of Cthulhu game with some people on Skype who had asked me to run for them. The scenario is “The Last Voyage of the Ivory Pride” which I found online and printed out some years ago. It seems to have completely disappeared from the internet since then. The year is 1925 off the Ivory Coast of Africa. The investigators are passengers (and one crewman) of the Ivory Pride, a steamship bound for Morocco. Something goes wrong on the second day. Can a con man, a radio announcer, an undertaker, and a big game hunter unravel what is going on aboard the ship before the Singing Man arrives? My players were Tim, Jeff, D.J., and Lily. Part one of three.

Call of Cthulhu Providence Campaign 16 – Lonely Point Lighthouse Session 2

by  • 

The investigators learn the terrible secret of Lonely Point Lighthouse, but will they survive the night with the things that haunt the place?

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 sixteenth session of the game took place on April 19, 2015, with the scenario “Lonely Point Lighthouse” by Oscar Rios from Island of Ignorance. My players were Nissa, Kyle, Kaitlyn, and Richard.

Call of Cthulhu: The Haunted Place

by  • 

A man has gone mad and his brother wants investigators to find out what in his Providence house could have caused it. Unfortunately, they bite off a little more than they can chew.

On April 12, 2015, the Appalachian State University Game Club had a LAN party and the president of that club asked if I could run a game of Call of Cthulhu during it. I was happy to oblige. I pulled out the original scenario “The Haunted Place” which I’d run as part of the Providence campaign some months before, though the player in that case had not finished it. This serves as a follow-up of the initial investigation. My players were James, Mike, Darian, Nissa, Elizabeth, and Katelyn.

With the other investigators dead or fleeing from the police, can Jade Hagger and Ken Blankenship end the terror of Dr. Freygan by themselves? Perhaps with a little help …
