Call of Cthulhu – Down Darker Trails 1 – Ill Met in the West

by  • 

It’s 1875 and the outlaw John Valentine, along with a good number of his men, have been captured.  But will the train from Nevada to California make it there without incident?  Or is something bound to happen.

On February 18, 2018, I started a Down Darker Trails campaign, taking place in the American West.  We started with an original prologue scenario “Ill Met in the West”  to set the stage for the campaign.  Players were Collin, Ashton, Yorie, and Ben.

Call of Cthulhu Introductory Game 3 – The Lurker in Tunnel 13

by  • 

Having investigated Nyarlathotep, one of the investigators thinks he has a lead: a man in the Appalachian Mountains of Pennsylvania. Unfortunately, something happens on the way there.

On November 12, 2017, I ran the new 7th Edition Call of Cthulhu group with an original scenario to end out the semester and the short campaign: “The Lurker in Tunnel 13.” Players were John, Jacob, Austin, and Katelyn.

Call of Cthulhu Introductory Campaign 2 – Dead Man Stomp

by  • 

When one of the investigators asks another to come to New York City to visit, neither expect it will lead them to the mob and the supernatural.

I started running a Call of Cthulhu campaign for a new group of students at Appalachian State University in September 2017. The game started in Bristol, Connecticut, in 1922. The 2nd session of the game took place on October 1, 2017, with the scenario “Dead Man Stomp” from the Call of Cthulhu 6th Edition rules. My players were with John and Austin.

Call of Cthulhu Providence Campaign 49 – Dog Will Hunt

by  • 

The investigators finally arrive in Louisiana in the hunt for wildcatters and missing Cajuns. They find strangeness in the town of Montegut, a missing local, and finally head into the bayou at night. It’s not pretty.

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 49th session of the game took place on September 24, 2017, with the scenario “Dog Will Hunt” by Richard A. Becker from Unspeakable Oath #18. My players were James, Ben, and Yorie.

Call of Cthulhu Introductory Campaign 1 – The Inheritance

by  • 

A lawyer in Bristol, Connecticut, needs someone to examine a mansion in Sandisfield, Massachusetts, as part of the process of declaring a man missing for seven years legally dead. Something is wrong with the house, however. Very wrong.

I started running a Call of Cthulhu campaign for a new group of students at Appalachian State University in September 2017. The game started in Bristol, Connecticut, in 1922. The 1st session of the game took place on September 17, 2017, with the scenario “The Inheritance” by Padraic Barrett from the monograph Horror Stories from the Red Room. My players were with John, Austin, Jacob, Ambralyn, and Katelyn.
