Call of Cthulhu, Pulp Cthulhu | Campaign

About the adventure

This campaign is open to players of all experience levels; whether you're new to the game or a veteran, all are welcome! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- โ˜  Gaze the madness of the cosmos โœ”๏ธ ๐Ÿ’ฐ Make a name for yourself โœ”๏ธ ๐Ÿ”ฎ Confront the Strange โœ”๏ธ โš”๏ธ Face Pulp Dangers โœ”๏ธ ๐Ÿ‘ป Fight the Occult โœ”๏ธ 1920, a cold Arkham October. Rumours of a groundbreaking invention entice your band of paranormal explorers to a lavish 3-day auction getaway on the coastlines of New England. Cutthroats and luminaries join you in rapt fascination at the White Point Hotel to marvel at a device said to be capable of creating matter from thin air, with each day beckoninig increasingly stranger demonstrations of this age's latest wonder! However, unbeknown to all, the true potential of this invention is stranger and far more dangerous than anyone can imagine! This Call of Cthulhu mini-series is inspired by the immaculate vibes of "Disco Elysium" (ZA/UM), the methodical burn of "True Detective" (HBO), and the off-kilter twists and turns of "Lovecraft Country" (HBO)". This campaign is a heavily customised adaptation of The Disintegrator and will serve as a backdoor intro to the Cthulhu Epic: Masks of Nyarlathotep!

I've had the pleasure of playing in multiple games run by Toast, and every single session has been nothing short of amazing. Toast is an incredibly talented and welcoming DM who brings a perfect balance of creativity, structure, and fun to the table. What really stands out is how effortlessly they create a safe, inclusive space that encourages players of all experience levels to stretch their roleplaying musclesโ€”even the more hesitant ones. Aiman has this rare gift of drawing everyone in and making each player feel seen, heard, and important to the story. Every game feels like a collaborative adventure, full of laughs, tension, and those unforgettable "wow" moments. In our sessions, I have literally been brought to tears and laughed so hard that soda squirted out my nose! If you're thinking about booking with Aimanโ€”donโ€™t hesitate. Book now! Book repeatedly! This is the kind of DM who elevates every game and makes the whole experience truly magical.

Probably one of the best DM I have played with. Amazing world builder and great emphasis on role play and group interaction.

Toast is awesome! He is always encouraging everyone to be involved and always has voices to do for the npcs which always adds to the fun!

This GM is the worst. I spent hours laughing, crying, and telling memorable storiesโ€”so much so that I was left wanting more. But this GM wouldn't give me more. He said it was unreasonable to ask for 10-hour sessions, multiple days in a row. Whatever. If you want a GM who will get you hooked, this is your GM. But if you'd like a middle-of-the-road GM who won't leave you thinking about the game for the rest of the week, go with a different GM!

Such a great GM to play with! His use of unmatched character voices, ambient background music, and painting a word picture to set the scene at the start of each session creates an immersive and engaging atmosphere. Extremely knowledgeable about gameplay and rules but not tyrannicalโ€” heโ€™s generous and benevolent with a tiny bit rule bending if it serves the story. I love the way he helps build overarching storylines to carry from session to session, throwing in twists and challenges but still allowing breathing time for free play, scenes between PCs. And seriously though, so so good at character voices. Highly recommend playing with him!

Gameplay details

This Call of Cthulhu campaign aims for a rated R content rating. Scenes of violence will be depicted, coarse language will be used by both in game characters and players, and some mature subject matters will be broached. If you have any questions or concerns about either the content of the adventure or the safety tools in use, feel free to message or schedule a call with me as soon as possible. Your comfort is the most important thing to me as a DM!

How will character creation work

Character and crew sheet creation will take place at session 0. Players will be added to the discord game server and sent a link to the Alchemy VTT room where the sheets will be managed. Players are welcome to ask for an additional one-on-one call with the GM prior to the first session to further refine their character in private. In the case that you join the campaign as it is underway and less than 48 hours from a session, you will be provided a pre-generated character for that week's session. A guided character creation call will be scheduled at some point in the following week. Late joiners are encouraged to discuss character ideas among the rest of the group in the game channel via discord before they roll their character sheets.
