Bar Fight at the Bulls Head Saloon
Call of Cthulhu | Campaign
About the adventure
⭐Dakota Territory near Deadwood 1876 Reckon you’ve got the grit to face what’s stirring in the Black Hills? It all starts with a bar brawl at the Bull's Head Saloon... But before the bruises even heal, gunfire erupts, shattering the eerie quiet of Pactola, a tiny mining settlement nestled deep in the Black Hills of Dakota Territory. The uneasy silence that follows is worse than the noise. The land itself feels like it’s holdin’ its breath. Folks are whisperin’ about shadows movin’ where they shouldn’t be, about somethin’ unnatural crawlin’ up from the dark places of the earth. It ain’t just tall tales or miner’s fears; there’s a wickedness out here that no one rightly understands. This place once gleamed with dreams of gold strikes, but now it’s barely hanging by a thread...folks whisperin’ of a darkness far worse than any outlaw. The miners dug too deep, found somethin’ that ain’t natural, and now the whole town’s fixing to pay the price. Whatever’s crawlin’ out of the hills, sure as hell ain’t friendly. So saddle up and steel your nerves, because this frontier ain’t for the faint of heart. There’s a battle brewin’, one that’ll take everything you’ve got to see it through. So saddle up, load your irons, and answer the call. The Wild West’s depending on those brave enough to stand tall against the horrors of the deep. Will you rise up against the coming storm, or let the shadows claim the Wild West for their own?
Game style
Theater of the Mind
“Theater of the Mind” uses little to no visuals for scene settings and combat. Instead, the narrative imagery comes from the Game Master’s descriptions and character action and movement comes from Players’ descriptions.
***If two or three players agree, we can run a series of one-shots while we wait for a fourth player to start the main story.***

Maps, reference materials, notes, photos etc. will be posted on Fantasy Grounds Unity VTT I will organize it all so everyone enjoys the experience, and take pride in doing so..
Gameplay details
This will be an open door game, if you need to take a break, for any reason, please do so!! All I ask, is if you can, please mute your mic so I know you are out. -Any use of "out of character" Racism, Sexism, or Discrimination or Personal Attacks of any kind will get you banned. -Players who do these things repeatedly "in character" are discouraged/warned/and subject to being (quickly) kicked or banned. -If you do not follow the “Fade to Black” rule you will be kicked or banned. **Fade to Black Rule** During the game, if there is ever an event, situation, or anything that as a player makes you feel Please say “Fade to Black” (same as N card although sometimes I don't see the chat right away)and that scene will end. I will not ask, I will not judge, I will take control and respect this choice. No story is worth paining someone!
