Unfriendly Matters

Call of Cthulhu | Campaign

About the adventure

The year is 1923. A common friend sends letters to all of you. A friend that seems specialist in saving lives, since he saved yours, separately, at least once before. The letter asks for help, and says he found something that can change the world. He tells you, a group of unknown people to find him in the hospital he went to investigate, because a patient from there is the answer for the questions he had. He sent the passages and some money for those who could not afford the travel.

Game style

Rule of Cool (RoC)

“Rule of Cool” emphasizes creative story beats over sticking to a system’s rules as written. Players have the ability to push the limits of the rules or even break core rule mechanics at times if the Game Master thinks it is interesting, fun, or cool enough.

Roleplay Heavy

“Roleplay Heavy” games place the focus on the story, the characters, and the world they live within, and tend to lean hard into the various roleplaying elements of the game. These games will frequently find the party talking with NPCs, exploring the personal elements of their backstories, or even having emotional moments around the camp fire.

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.

Recruiting notes

"The death of a friend can bring many questions to mind. When death is mysterious the answers can lead to places that we didn't expect to go." An investigation and mystery game, for those who don't care to loose their minds to find the truth. Beginner Friendly. LGBTQIA+ Friendly.

Additional details

How to prepare

Since we are using Discord for voice and writen messages, will need a free account, just as a mic (cam is not mandatory). A free The Forge account is needed too.

What I provide

All the rolls will be handled by Foundry VTT and voice by Discord. As a investigation game, taking notes is welcome. No need to be a professional detective to play, if you have seen movies, it's enough. The rules are there to help the roleplay and the game to keep going, if you have difficulty in some, just tell me and I'll do my best to explain.

Gameplay details

All players will have a Private Channel to bring any doubts/problems that may appear. The X-Card can be used in any chat needed and can be invoked by a "X". The Lines and Veils brought by each player, will be a fixed message, so everyone can see it anytime needed.
