Reign of Terror - Call of Cthulhu during the French Revolution
Alien: The Roleplaying Game, Call of Cthulhu | One-Shot
About the adventure
This scenario takes your group of from Versailles to the catacombs of Paris during the French Revolution. Side with the monarchy, the mob, or your own skin. This is a two part adventure, beginning in 1789 and then the surviving characters jump ahead to 1794 and the height of The Terror. From Chaosium: A time of struggle, intrigue, and horror. A divided country, where the upper class enjoys the bounty of wealth, and the poor cannot afford a loaf of bread. Where the cries of anger and rage at life’s injustices find momentum, sparking the people to unite and cast away the old regime for a brighter and more hopeful tomorrow. In time, hope will be replaced with fear as The Terror descends upon France, and the guillotine cries out for blood. This adventure will probably take about 3-5 sessions to complete and spans roughly 10-15 hours of content.
You are a soldier living among the extraordinary times of the French Revolution. In this scenario, we will delve into the history of the French Revolution with a few considerable liberties, namely a conspiracy of monsters at the center of it all.
