Call of Cthulhu | Campaign
About the adventure
This game will hone in on the Lovecraftian themes or other interesting eras. Anything from Victorian, the Roaring 20s, the Renaissance, etc. Starting with the stereotypical persons and characters growing into quite the mystery involving the occult, magic, war machines, and more. Each campaign will intertwine pre-written and my own homebrewed content. You and other players could be similar characters from a group, a gang, an organization, or very different individuals that came together against all odds. This will be determined at a session zero so that the party can each contribute to the story.
I have chosen specific events that have occurred through history (real and theorized) for our setting and to inspire the game. I will make sure you know the main themes beforehand so that you may decide if it is the right fit for you and to start the safety discussion.

What I provide
I plan to put together maps, a Roll20 link (or Foundry if I have the opportunity), and I do have a Discord server that will be linked once you are approved to join. I am currently working on building my map skills. I have only ever done theater of the mind as of this template submission (10/06/24). I think that having a visual is important especially since it is always included in Call of Cthulhu guides. I will gladly recommend or put together a playlist with the right vibes for the background but I personally feel distracted/overwhelmed trying to also plan musical timing. I am constantly doing voices for NPCs and characters I control. I love encouraging immersion and making games more dynamic. Call of Cthulhu is semi-combat specific but I always want you as a player to be able to expand on you character, feeling like a badass. I want to make sure everyone knows and follows the rules 1) so we can all play smoothly and 2) so that we don't accidently break the game BUT "rule of cool" is *always* on the table.
Gameplay details
All safety will be discussed in session 0. I will send out questions during and/or after to make sure I am able to avoid, work around, or otherwise, properly for each individual. I plan for my descriptions to follow a sliding scale using lines, veils, specific requests, and checking in on the vibe of the group. I will gladly pay attention to and address any private messages during session or in chat X's and O's. Feeling safe and comfortable is important to me and communication will help set that up. Side Note: I do ask how the session went almost every time.

How will character creation work
Character creation discussions can happen whenever on StartPlaying and my Discord, but physical (or electronic) creation on the sheets will be at session 0. Everyone will roll for stats to start. I am unsure if this will happen over chat or on Roll20. TBD. Anyone interested can always reference the Call of Cthulhu Players Handbook for any information. I will gladly send out what pdfs I have however I know DriveThruRPG has some options as well.
