How to prepare
Be sure that you can join the campaign sessions as constantly as possible. Be sure that you have a microphone that captures your voice clearly. You can check some details about Istanbul if you want, but the city in the game will be totally my own creation.
What I provide
I bring asymmetrical gameplay experience of Call of Cthulhu in my home city, Istanbul. You can learn interesting facts and witness and experience interesting fiction that is related to city, while find yourselves into a great conspiracy. Since it's not a pre-written game scenario, there's no any railroad, and everythig will shape according to your actions, and more importantly, your decisions.
Gameplay details
You can be sure that you can feel safe enough to play through the adventure, but I do not guarantee any kind of safety for your characters :) This scenario is asymmetrical, that means there's no any pre-decision on the adventure, except some key points, key events, and key NPCs. Everything will shape according to your actions and decisions. If you want to push the limits, be my guest :)
