October 16th, 2021 - Call of Cthulhu RPG Event - Dead Light & Other Dark Tales
Join us for an unnatural Call of Cthulhu RPG encounter. Space is limited to 6 players maximum. Two encounters from this book will be run back to back. We will stick around as long as needed to finish both encounters. Play starts at 5pm. New players can come in between 4pm & 5pm to learn how to build a character and find out more about Call of Cthulhu RPG, the mythos and general questions for the GM.
Drinks & snacks are included in your fee. Players also get $10 in store credit AND 10% off all Call of Cthulhu books and accessories. Experience with Call of Cthulhu is not required. This is a great way to try out CoC for beginners and is a good set of scenarios for experienced players.
Two unsettling encounters on the road
With the rise of the automobile in the 1920s, people were no longer tied to the railways as a means of getting to distant locations. For those who could afford the relative luxury of a car, the expanding United States’ highway network brought with it the opportunity to travel and see new places, as well as visit those that the railways didn’t reach—and all at your own pace, too.
But the new road network also meant that strangers began making their way into once isolated and secluded locations. Places where they may not be welcome, and where old secrets have been hidden for generations. Who knows what lurks behind the lace curtains of the houses you drive past? What dangers lie in wait for the unwary along the out of the way highways and byways?
The Scenarios
Dead Light and Other Dark Turns contains two scenarios for Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition dealing with the theme of roadside adventure, along with six story seeds for the Keeper to expand and develop.
In the classic Dead Light scenario, now revised, a chance encounter with a distressed young woman leads the investigators into the hideous aftermath of a crime gone terribly wrong.
In the brand-new Saturnine Chalice scenario, seeking help from a nearby homeowner after their vehicle runs out of gas traps the investigators in a house where nothing is quite what it seems.
