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 the rules feel outdated and not quite suited to the type of game I want to run.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...

Rethinking Cthulhu Mythos

When reading Lovecraft I am constantly reminded of how fearful and reluctant to act the protagonists in his stories are. They tend to spend months writing letters and sending telegrams before doing anything more practical. This would be perfect for a play-by-email scenario, but in general players tend to want to act on things that they find. They don't share that same fearful and inactive disposition found in most of Lovecraft's characters. It also seems to me that they scare very easily. They hear a rumour and it's so terrifying that they hardly are able to put it into words. They receive a letter and they dare not reproduce it because of the nature of it's contents being so horrific. And I can't help think to myself "It's just a letter!". It is clear that HP Lovecraft believe in the power of the written word with books that drive you mad and letters that scare you beyond your senses. But how do I make this into a good roleplaying experience? It...

Update and Maps for 'The Monolith'

Image
When starting my first playtest I realized that I needed a couple of maps, or more like sketches, to explain the layout to my players. And whatever I create I share. Even this image I drew, supposedly of a Ghoul. I've intentionally hidden the maps behind links so that if anyone who plays The Monolith currently (you know who you are...) or anyone who wants to play it reads this post won't have their game ruined. Overview Player Map Overview GM Map Detail Player Map Detail GM Map Hopefully it's useful. I find that maps normally help players to visualize their surroundings and they make sure that their image is more similar to the one you have as a GM. In addition to this I've also made some small tweaks and changes to the scenario itself such that it makes a bit more sense as well as filling in some gaps that became quite glaring while running it.
