Call of Cthulhu – Valentine’s in Innsmouth

by  • 

The Lovecraft Country Cousins are back, this time to help Alice find her Aunt Margie, whom she is sure is still in the village of Innsmouth, which has been under control and guard by government forces since the raid last year.  Can the youths sneak into the town and rescue the woman?  Is she even there?  And what secrets does Innsmouth actually hold?

On March 25, 2018, we played a one-shot original scenario “Valentine’s in Innsmouth” based on the scenarios “Christmas in Kingsport” and “Halloween in Dunwich” by Oscar Rios.  It took place in February 1929.  Players were Ambralyn, Ben, Collin, and Ashton.
