About the adventure
Lovecraft Country… You won’t find it labelled as such on any map. There are no precise coordinates to pinpoint it, and even the concept of distance fails to apply. You won’t find it mentioned in any travel guide. Yet, if you ever find yourself wandering into Lovecraft Country, you will never fail to feel its presence. Welcome to the eeriest enclave of Massachusetts, possibly the most haunted place on the planet. Journey through the entirety of Lovecraft Country, starting from the coastal town of Kingsport, moving through the lively streets of Arkham and the renowned Arkham University, past the gritty industrial landscape of Bolton, and up to the mysterious headwaters of the Miskatonic River. Ascend into the hills of Dunwich, venture to Falcon Point, and even further to the cursed city of Innsmouth… Prepare yourself for a collection of chilling tales filled with mystery, cosmic horror, and otherworldly terror in the shadowy, storied realm known as Lovecraft Country. This will be a sandbox story with many opportunities for mysteries, cosmic horror and strange tales that revolve around the players. There will always be a main story arc, and many hooks and opportunities for adventure in an open, living and vibrant Lovecraftian world, but the story always revolves around the characters and the choices they make. There are always many ways to reach solutions and never a forced ending. The story will always have priority over dice rolls and the dice are always integrated into the story instead of detracting from it. Session 0 or your first session if you join an ongoing campaign is always free. This will be a long term game.

Additional details
How to prepare
All you need is a decent microphone and a desire for an amazing story! Video is available, but is not required. Session 0 will be free
What I provide
I will have Roll20 ready with maps, artwork, handouts, full ambient music, and all necessary Call of Cthulhu compendiums. I will also have legal use PDFs available for any players who need them as well as many, many premade character templates.
Gameplay details
I have a Google form I will send you once you sign up that will very thoroughly go through lines and veils. I also use digital and/or messaged and/or held up on video X, N, & 0 cards. I am also available after each session for aftercare, as needed. At session 0 we will go over lines and veils that were filled out ahead of time (anonymously) so player expectations can be set.

How will character creation work
We will discuss characters at session 0. If you prefer to create ahead of time, prepare 2 or 3 characters of different types so we can ensure a good balance of investigators in the group. You can create in Roll20 or offline, and you can make your own or use a premade.
