Blood Ties, a Call of Cthulhu one-shot
Call of Cthulhu | One-Shot
About the adventure
Shadow falls upon an old Arkham family, as sadness and sorrow fills their hearts. Mysteries surround old Massachusetts, hiding vengeance and ominous howlings in the wind, taken away by the last breath of the agonizing 1920s. Join, be it for money or recognition, as investigators in this quest to help and protect Arkham's legacy. But be aware of every shadow, for you may not be the only ones to take interest in this family business...
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.

Additional details
How to prepare
We will be using the audio through roll20, so make sure it works, it won't be a video call. A way of taking notes and keeping track of the story is highly suggested!
What I provide
As you know, Call of Cthulhu is a very flexible game so expect a flexible mindset from me as well. The game will take place through roll20 as also will be the audio, as we won't use Discord. Maps and audio will also be managed through roll20.
Gameplay details
All audio will be done through roll20. Expect a session where player agency will be the main priority, as it is a player driven mystery. Don't expect much combat, as it is investigation based. Breaks will be taken as needed by players. See you around!
