The Lightness Beacon | Shipwrecked and Not Alone
Call of Cthulhu | One-Shot
About the adventure
Waves crash above your head in the dead of night as your life finds an abandoned island. In the distance, lighting silhouettes a dead lighthouse. If you're lucky, there's a working radio. But that unnatural rustling in the bushes almost guarantees you won't be. The Lightless Beacon is an introductory Call of Cthulhu adventures for 1 to 4 players. In it, a luxury cruise is cut short as a storm capsizes the ship. Now, you and the other players must find a way to send an S.O.S. However, you're not alone as inhuman, fishlike creatures swarm the island looking for their prize. Image by Protocultura from Pixabay.

How to prepare
To participate in the game, you will need to: - Join the Roll20 game (accounts are free), - Join the Discord Server (accounts are free), - Have a serviceable microphone, - Have a headset or quiet space (no background noise please), - And an internet connection capable of running all the above simultaneously.
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 create 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.
