Your playing in a laundry room with the windows painted shut.

The Keeper reviews your sheet and askes if you might want to add some points into "Dodge".

The Book of Unremitting Horror is keeping out the side of the keeper's screen.

The Keeper askes the next roll be made in the open.

One character sees something and has to make a SAN check.  Then the keeper makes everyone else make a roll to see if they didn't see what the other player just saw.

The Keeper smiles when you fail a roll.

The Keeper smiles when you succeed a roll.

The Keeper says something about the color yellow and makes mention of a king in the same sentence.

You sit down at the gaming table and your GM says, "Hey guys, we're playing some Call of Cthulhu tonight."

Ross asks you to make a spot hidden check. It's a sure sign that you'll see something fucked up. It's never something simple.
I'm from Alaska. About Fifty miles south of Ankorage there's a little fishing town, maybe you've heard of it, it's called fuck your momma.

Your character wakes up in the morning.

You hear "Fhtagn"

You see shadows

You see lights

You see animals

You don't see animals

You hear animals
