About the adventure
Enter the chilling world of 'Call of Cthulhu,' where you'll face cosmic horrors beyond human comprehension, unraveling mysteries in dark, atmospheric settings that will test your sanity at every turn. Explore the depths of madness as you investigate unsettling cults, encounter otherworldly creatures, and desperately struggle to maintain your grip on reality. Experience the raw terror of facing entities that defy logic and understanding, with sanity mechanics that will leave you questioning your own perception. Explore rich environments, from desolate coastal towns to bustling New England cities and isolated mountain villages with a haunting soundscape that draws you deeper into the mystery. Solve mysteries, decipher ancient texts, and use your detective skills to piece together the truth behind the cosmic horrors you encounter. Welcome to the eeriest part of New England, possibly the most haunted place in the world. You will travel through all of Lovecraft Country, starting from Kingsport, moving through the streets of Arkham and past Bolton, up to the Miskatonic River. You will climb into the hills of Dunwich, make your way to Falcon Point, and even further to cursed Innsmouth… Join a group of investigators who take on cases of the bizarre, the unusual, and the impossible. Discover the truth behind these cases in a noir 1920s filled with eldritch horror. Come claim your seat today!
This game is set in the classic era of Call of Cthulhu, the 20s and 30s. Your investigators will work together to solve bizarre mysteries, strange happenings, and things out of the ordinary as part of an agency hired for such things. You will be based in storied Arkham, but your investigations will take you all throughout classic Lovecraft territory.

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.
