Reviewish: Dark Carnival

Posted by Shimmin Beg in Blog Shimmin Beg, 04 December 2013 · 72 views

Jazz Age, Spoilers, Review

(I am shamed into resuming these reviews by my shout-out on the latest MUP, where Keeper Chad referred to me as a "profilic poster". I haven't written here in ages through a mixture of work and personal stuff, but let's get back on that horse.)

This is a spoileriffic review of Dark Carnival , by David A. Hargrave, from Curse of the Cthonians .

It’s the...

Pickman's Student

Posted by golfsale in Blog golfsale, 24 November 2013 · 240 views

"I'm no expert in seaweed," announces Ira Madison, Private Eye. The team have been investigating the dingy studio of mysteriously comatose artist Nelson Blakely. The Keeper omits to give them the letter from Pickman.
"Ref, you're keeping handouts from us. That's withholding evidence. We can arrest you for that."

Madison looks at Blakely's unfinished canv...

Nightmares in Norfolk: Laid to Rest (Session 40)

Posted by Emrys in Blog Emrys, 19 November 2013 · 101 views

Thursday, 24th April, 1924

So, it's after ten and the Ex-Pats' club closes at eleven (based on the one night that O'Malley managed to tail Smith all the way to the club) so, once they've persuaded the professor there's not enough time for him to change his clothes(!?), off they head to the docks. The drive is surprisingly uneventful and they pull up a b...

Breeding Difficulties

Posted by lordof1 in Maybe it -should- happen to a vet, 15 November 2013 · 123 views

Heidi, the three-year old bulldog, waddles across the floor of the prep room. She tries to sit, but her hugely distended abdomen makes that uncomfortable for her, so instead she stands, and pants. Her thick eyelids droop with weariness. Sam and I lift her onto the prep table with some difficulty. Heidi gurgles and splutters as we set her down, then starts...

Masks of Nyarly 5

Posted by Puriri in Arkham Enquirer, 08 November 2013 · 130 views

After leaving Lesser Edale, the party traveled back to London to find the artist Mr. Miles Shipley to inquire about his work. They arrived at a rather ramshackle house and were greeted at the door by an old lady who seemed reluctant to let them in. When they expressed interest in Mr. Shipley's art, however, she agreed to fetch him. While waiting, the part...

Coal Cracker Cthulhu #10: Suffer Little Children

Posted by viscounteric in Blog viscounteric, 19 October 2013 · 141 views

Friday, October 5th, 1923.

The Yonkers Train Station was an important stop on the Hudson Line. It could be argued that it was the last stop for civilization before the trains began their lazy journey up the east side of the Hudson River. It was also a focal point for trolleys, as well as commuter and regional trains, avoiding the ruckus of Grand Central...

Episode 1: By the Pricking of my Thumbs

Posted by MonkeyPrime in Tell me about your Occult related Room?, 09 October 2013 · 249 views

So this past Saturday I ran my first self-penned adventure for a group of friends. I have only ran published adventures so far and have had to do a great deal of work to be comfortable with running them. I am working on my magnum octopus campaign "Heir Apparent" but instead of jumping into it was advised by wiser heads on the forums to run some one-shots....

Dark Souls: Why hello Hastur!

Posted by echofalls in Blog echofalls, 01 October 2013 · 277 views

So, here I am running through the Painted World of Ariamis, trying to escape without dying *again*, or distubing those annoying spear chucking phalanax, when I'm greeted by a most pleasent message:

"Dark Spirit Xanthous King Jeremiah has invaded!"

So I do away with that pest by tricking him into rolling off a cliff, unfortunately meaning that I didn't...

Masks of Nyarlathotep, Session One

Posted by Lisa in Blog Lisa, 28 September 2013 · 427 views

Catherine's player missed the session, then reluctantly dropped from the game on account of a lack of leisure time.

Helen received Jackson's telegram and contacted Helen, Masha, and I think Xian Shen. If she didn't contact Father O'Connor, he got a telegram himself. Xian Shen's grandfather had received at least one telegram from Elias when Elias was in S...

Posted by groakes in Trail of Nyarlathotep: The Masks of New York, 22 September 2013 · 304 views

The detectives arrive at headquarters and are immediately summoned to Lt Poole’s office. He closes the door:

“What the hell are you thinking? Removing a witness from custody like that!”

“She was terrified. She’s the only witness that we have who seems to know something. If she had stayed in The Tombs I don’t think she would have lasted the night.”...

The Haunting

Posted by Ebon in Blog Ebon, 31 August 2013 · 227 views

Second Cthulhu game, and this one I ran using the C7 quickstart rules. For those running The Haunting in 6th edition (or presumably earlier), I'll tell you now that not much has changed, though I found it useful to keep a copy of the 6th edition notes to help flesh out various aspects of the adventure.

I should point out for the sake of disclaimers that...

Bookhounds: The Zodiac Pages. Session 4.

Posted by brehaut in A Lazy Tentacle, 29 August 2013 · 157 views

This was a short session. The bookhounds decided to dig deeper into the Ebon Veil members, and revisited Aston who had barricaded himself in his house. Thadius reassured him [1pt spend] that while they were there the Ifrit would not be harm him and that they knew what was going on.

Aston told them more about the connection between the Ebon Veil and Stell...

Rome Noir

Posted by Fallingtower in Blog Fallingtower, 27 July 2013 · 163 views

I got my Invictus game up and running again with my one player who digs Call of Cthulhu. There seems to be a lot detective series out there dealing with PI's in the ancient Roman setting, so I decided to do the obvious thing and copy cat it. I read a bit of Stephan Saylors 'Finder' series and my pal brought me over 'Silver Pigs' by Lindsey Davis to read....

Starman: campaign overview and more detail, Part two

Posted by nickedwards in Blog nickedwards, 23 July 2013 · 130 views

So then I had a real run of ideas revolving around the Cult of Trancendence and Dream Factory. The former gave me the idea of trying to prevent a Greater Marriage desired by one of the Bishops, and the latter gave me a missing woman pulled into another dimension with a James Ellroy nior vibe.

The players were told that the Carthatic had already won in th...

Not quite Kickstartered out but maybe not far off

Posted by yockenthwaite in Blog yockenthwaite, 05 July 2013 · 130 views

Paul of Cthulhu has written a few times of being Kickstartered out, a sentiment that others have expressed too. I'm not quite at that stage yet, but I've reached a limit when it comes to backing.

I was very tempted tonight by Cthulhu Wars - finally! - after studying the miniatures closely. I considered backing at the $50 deal (+ shipping), but couldn't...
