Thoughts on Call of Cthulhu.
In this scenario, the Investigators are summoned by an army commandant in a remote part of India, seeking their help with some local problems. The letter is cryptic and uninformative, but displays a sense of urgency – as it should when asking a group of complete strangers to travel for a full day to a remote part of India. On arrival, they find that a mysterious jet-black figure has been spooking the local population by causing all manner of accidents, and are asked to track it down and see what’s ...

This is a spoileriffic review of Crash Dive by Steve Hatherley, from Fearful Passages. This is a pretty hard one to evaluate because it's not exactly a scenario: it's somewhere between a training montage, a plot seed and a prologue. Crash Dive has the Investigators following up news of a valuable occult artefact, which proves to be somewhere in the wreckage of a light plane that crashed into a lake. They're expected to don diving gear and delve into the wreck, where they'll find the ...
