Call of Cthulhu – The Colossus of Messines

by  • 

It is June 1917 and the British are planning a great push in the area of the ruined village of Messines.  Eight men manning a Mark IV tank as part of the attack soon find they are facing something much worse than the Germans.

I ran a Call of Cthulhu Game at the Appalachian State University NerdCon 2019 on March 30, 2019.  “The Colossus of Messines” took place during the Battle of Messines in June 1917.  The crew of a WWI Mark IV tank find they are facing something truly terrifying.  Players were Carl, Roy, Alexis, Alex, Bruce, and Sydney

Call of Cthulhu – Night Witches: The Sosnovka Raid

by  • 

On Dec. 5, 1942, a section of three light bombers from the Soviet 588th Night Bomber Regiment, a regiment consisting solely of women, are sent to bomb a supply depot in the German-held Russian town of Sosnovka. The six women in three planes head out, but will not be the same afterwards.

On Feb. 27, 2016, I ran a Call of Cthulhu Game at the Appalachian State University Game Club Game Fest and LAN Party. “Night Witches: The Sosnovka Raid” tells of the daring female soldiers of the 588th Night Bomber Regiment who go to bomb a tiny village on their nightly runs and find something else there as well. My players were Katelyn, Mike, Quinten, Connor, Alex, and Ashton.

Call of Cthulhu – Terror Over Tokyo 1.5: The Obake Shima Incident II Part 3

by  • 

It is April 19, 1942, the day after the American attack on the island of Japan. In the turmoil following the attack, a squad of soldiers is quickly assembled to investigate the radio silence from the island of Obake Shima over the last three days and to re-garrison the island. Will any of them every be seen again?

On Oct. 11, 2015, I ran a Call of Cthulhu Game at the Appalachian State University Game Club LAN Party. “Terror Over Tokyo 1.5: The Obake Shima Incident II” took place right after the Doolittle Raid on Tokyo in April 1942, the players being Japanese soldiers. My players were Richard, Kit, Ashton, Goldie, Katelyn, Luke, Mike, Danny, Walker, and Alex.

Unfortunately, my audio recorder was not on for the beginning of the game so I ripped the audio from my video recordings. This audio is from the recorder and better than the first two. Part three of three.
