About the adventure

For months workers have complained about apparitions haunting Thirstledown Golf Club. Then its wealthy owner, Arthur Macmillan, disappeared and hunting began in earnest. Arthur's wife, Crystal, hired you to put things straight. --- About The 19th Hole --- The 19th Hole is an introductory Call of Cthulhu one-shot set in Scottland's countryside. Originally printed in Mansions of Madness vol. 1.

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.

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.

What I provide

I bring a tested and well-rehearsed module, play aids, all relevant PDFs, and experience teaching RPGs

Gameplay details

As part of onboarding for the game, I send players my Line & Veils and ask for theirs in return. Which are then confirmed at the beginning of the session as part of a mini-session 0. During the game, if anything disturbs you, please tell me, leave an "X" in the chat, or privately message me. I will then remove the offending or skip past it. Likewise, if you feel the adventure is going in an unsavory direction but use an "N" instead. I will also check in if I notice anything is off.

How will character creation work

Players can make their own character or choose one of 15+ pregenerated characters. If desired and given notice, I can provide assistance with character creation. But anyone who has not chosen by the time the game has rolled around, or given insufficient notice, will have to choose a pregenerated character.
