Call of Cthulhu: Beginners Night
Call of Chtulhu
is a horror game meant to take players into the dark, threatening
world of the
Mythos, building upon the works of authors
such as H.P. Lovecraft, August Derleth, Robert W. Chambers, and
many others. It is a game of dread,
tension, and madness, where unspeakable horrors are revealed and
the truths that should have stayed hidden come to light.
You will be an Investigator moved by skills mundane and occult,
but most of all by a
deep curiosity and a need to peer beyond the Veil.
Beware - you do so at your own risk. Death and things worse than
death might be the price you pay for what you'll learn.
This is a beginner session meant to offer a guided
introduction to Call of Cthulhu
7E. It is ideal for new players, those who have not played the
latest version of the
system, or those who have only played simplified, rules-light
systems like Cthulhu Dark.
What do you need to bring:
Nothing - dice and props will be
provided. Pre-generated characters will also be available.
Preferences on type of character you wish to play can
be accommodated if communicated in advance.
Content warnings for this session:
This
is a horror game with deep existential themes and so dark and
unsettling elements will be frequent. Character death and descent
into madness are common occurrences in this game. Specific trigger
warnings for violence on people and animals (graphic at times),
body horror, claustrophobia, blood, spiders and insects, mental
illness.
H.P.
Lovecraft is infamous for his unacceptable beliefs on a
number of topics,
particularly race. These are not reflected in the
game, which offers a
contemporary take on the themes of existential
dread and cosmic horror explored in the Mythos.
