The Twisted Webs We Weave[Magnus Archives TTRPG - Cypher]
Cypher System | Campaign
About the adventure
What makes a good horror story? Is it the verbose description given to even the smallest feeling or inanimate object? Is it the heavily flawed characteristics of the victims, heroes, and monsters that fill up its pages? Perhaps it is the feeling of pure abject bliss/terror one feels while envisioning them? The one thing most people agree on however, is that horror stories are just that...stories. What if there was a business that existed that took it seriously? Sitting in the middle of Piccadilly Rd in London England sits The Magnus Institute with it's motto emblazoned above it's doors: Vigilo-Opperior-Audio welcomes all who enter it's doors to make a statement if anything supernatural has occurred to them regardless of how far fetched it may be. As such, many "legitimate" places of supernatural research frown upon this 'government-funded eyesore'. Even so people make their way to unburden themselves of the supposed unexplainable horrors they have experienced. As employees of this instrumental edifice it is your duty to investigate the statements made by patrons. Will you experience horrors beyond your wildest imagination or will the world prove to be just as boring as always?

Every session has one ten minute break about midway or as close to it as we can get. Foundry is equipped with X,N,O cards as a system to use if ever a player feels uncomfortable and from then on the issue will no longer be used in the campaign.
