Church of The Others

Being slightly bored of the stereotypical cultist with empty, crazed eyes, 0 SAN and ready to kill or die at any instant, I decided to give my take on how a modern (for the 1920s) cult could look like. Hence, the Church of The Others...

I am definitely not saying that crazed tribal members with large knives can't make for an exciting adversary, but I do think there is room for other ideas as well.

Hope you enjoy it!

The Monolith: A Scenario for Call of Cthulhu PBTA Hack

Hey Following up on my post with the PDFs for my PBTA Call of Cthulhu hack I am now posting my first scenario to the very same. It's been inspired by the HP Lovecraft story The Colour Out Of Space and is a short scenario, probably doable in a single session. My aim was to write a scenario that had a Lovecraft feel to it, which I hope comes across in this one. Anyway... Download the PDF here. PS. If you think there's a chance I will run this scenario with you, please don't read it before I do.

Powered By The Apocalypse: Call of Cthulhu Hack

Good morning fellow Lovecraftians! Inspired by Kult:Divinity Lost and a long running campaign of Masks of Nyarlathotep (we are close to the end now and there will be posts about this once we have reached it) I have decide to create my own PBTA Call of Cthulhu Hack.  Why? Because I love Call of Cthulhu BUT... the rules feel outdated and not quite suited to the type of game I want to run. It feels a bit like going back to the 80s again where everything is just a single number without any real depth to it. And don't get me started on the Sanity system... Also, I am working on a scenario for Kult: Divinity Lost that may or may not see the light of day as a published thing and I just LOVE the system. To me it seems like the perfect combination. For anyone who doesn't know what Apocalypse World or Kult: Divinity Lost, you should look them up. http://kultdivinitylost.com/ http://apocalypse-world.com/ They are both awesome! So much better than this little hack that I

Rambling About Game Mastering - Presenting Information

Image
Right. This is my first post in this series where I will write down random reflections and ideas about things that I have learnt while playing and game mastering for more than 30 years. To be fair, most of this I've learnt recently, or at least I have only begun to think about it consciously in the last year or so. Fourteen year old me just wasn't that interested in actually analyzing what he was doing. This post probably seems like GM:ing 101 for most of you, and not something you should discover after playing for more than 30 years. But hey, shit happens! When you run any game, short or long, you need to think carefully about when and how you present information and clues to your players. This could be the single most important, and hardest, thing to do as a GM. Some of us GMs are good at roleplaying our NPCs, some of us describe the settings and set the mood wonderfully and some of us are just great at coming up with interesting story lines and plot twists, but not a
