First of all, kudos for running Call of Cthulhu in a crowded convention environment. That atmosphere would make it difficult to crank up the spookiness, no matter the scenario’s content. I finished listening to the play-through earlier today. It’s always interesting to learn how other gamers both Keeper and act as Investigators in CoC games. I own a copy of this scenario and had read it maybe a week or so before finding this podcast – it was a treat to hear the play-through of such a recent publication. As always, the players always take published adventures in directions you’d never expect.

Do you intend to play-through and record the follow-up adventure to “A Murder of Crows”…being “The Doom from Below?”

Again, kudos for taking Call of Cthulhu to a convention environment, and for recording the session so that folks like myself can enjoy later on, in a different time and place. Even if the spookiness factor was lacking, the players and Keeper sounded like everyone was having a good time, which is the overall goal of any roleplaying meet. Well done.

Cheers,

Yeah, the adventure actually has very little authentic “mythos” in it. In fact, I added the monster at the end. The published adventure is really meant to be an introductory adventure for players into the world of Cthulhu. I chose this adventure to run because the publishers felt that it could be fully run in a 4 to 6 hour time limit.

I would love to run and record a multi-part adventure that does a much better job of cranking up the spooky.
