Call of Cthulhu: House of the Haunted
Call of Cthulhu | One-Shot
About the adventure
A loved one of yours has gone missing. They told you they were researching about new houses in Boston. But they went silent. You reported this to the authorities but no one has helped. Just then, you get a text from your loved one. So you and a rag tag team of other strangers team up to uncover where your missing friends and loved ones went. Your investigation leads you to a realtor, looking to sell a house that supposedly was haunted... Uncover the mystery of where your friend disappeared and how they and you are connected to the world of the mythos and horrifying in: Call of Cthulhu! Call Of Cthulhu's Gameplay is Defined By: 1. Investigative Horror 😱. Call of Cthulhu (CoC) gameplay revolves around uncovering mysteries and fighting against the terrors of the night. You play as ordinary people who are challenged by horrific and extraordinary odds both mystical and terrifying. 2. Skill Based 🌌. Whereas in DnD, you choose classes, Call of Cthulhu is a skill based game. You have several skills your Investigator is good and bad due to their age, occupation, and training. Use your skills to uncover the secrets of the Mythos. 3. Deadly Combat🧟♂️. Call of Cthulhu is an investigation game but combat is inevitable when battling either the mundane or alien like mythos. That means this is a heavy roleplay game where players need to work together to uncover secrets and fend against fiend.

Gameplay details
Before The Game: Session 0 📝 Code of Conduct at my Table I believe as a Queer Black GM, safety at my table is and will always be a number 1 priority. RPGs should allow us to safely explore topics we want and have fun with it. So that means this table and my groups are anti-racist, anti-queerphobic, and tolerating bigotry is entirely unacceptable. So any kind of behavior like that will result in immediate ejection from my game. Lines, Veils, and Boundaries 🪞 I use a set of primer topics to discuss what we do not want to see in the game. A sample of that is attached below https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TVfQ1_UyP7EyTUi6zK3FFvfFvucZRjaDHHFAoBmvhxM/edit During my Game: Breaks🧱 I always make sure to include a 10+ minute break in my game. Of course breaks can be longer or shorter depending on what is best for the group at the time. After the Game: Stars and Wishes ✨ Post game and especially at the end of the campaign, I ask what are people’s stars and wishes. Stars are used for things people really liked during the game. Wishes are things participants would like to see in the future.

How will character creation work
Character creation will happen in session 0. Depending on the game it might serve as a separate session unless pregens happen. However in the case of Call of Cthulhu's One-Shot Adventure: The Haunting, I will provide Pre Generated Characters. These characters will be a variety of modern Occupations and you may select from any of them.
