Beyond the Mountains of Madness
Call of Cthulhu | Campaign
About the adventure
Imagine an expedition deep into the shadow of mountains in Antarctica where the ice itself seems to whisper a tale of discovery and terror. Your team of investigators discover remnants of an ancient civilisation of otherworldly entities - secrets that defy both time and reason. The deeper you delve, the more the boundaries between reality and nightmare blur. In this game, your wits, courage, and sanity will be tested as you uncover a tale of cosmic mystery, ancient cults, and the icy grip of madness. It’s a journey where every step into the unknown might lead to a revelation… or a descent into unthinkable terror. Does that spark your imagination?
Game style
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.

Gameplay details
Safety & Inclusion are a high priorities in my games. You'll find a fun gaming environment, and when you sign up I'll ask for your Lines & Veils. Elephant in the room... Character Deaths. Call of Cthulhu is renown for this happening and it is safe to say not all characters will make it home. That will not mean a player has to leave the game as there are retcon options. Your part in the adventure 🔶 You and your fellow adventurers choices will shape the story. Expect it to be fun and horror filled with the unexpected, that will keep you on your toes. 🔷 No need to learn anything beforehand as I’ll explain as needed, how and why things are done. Be that dice rolls, moving your character on the map and anything else. This gets you into having fun, which is what you’re here for.

How will character creation work
For this adventure I'll give guidance on abilities in Session0. Happy to accept points buy characters from Dholes House (json export) or they can be setup within Foundry, but usually easier via Dholes House. Most occupations will be accepted, but skills in science, medical, flying, mountaineering will fit in very well. Luck will be rolled at the start of the campaign.
