Scritch Scratch
Call of Cthulhu | One-Shot
About the adventure
For new and experienced players. Originally set in modern times in the north of England, this can be modified for any Call of Cthulhu time period. The village of Muscoby, quaint, cozy, with a tradition. A following of the old ways. What happens when the old ways aren't followed?
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.
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.

How to prepare
All you need to show up with is, pencil and paper if you want or need, and microphone/speakers/headset. If the group wants to play with video, then that is perfectly acceptable!
What I provide
My games are heavy with roleplay. I believe in making our stories immersive and engaging. There will be visual aids, tokens, handouts, maps, etc. DM rule is the final arbitration. I don't abuse or ignore the rules of the systems, but if I need to bend something for the sake of enhancing the experience and the story, I will. This will never be done at the detriment of the characters or players. As Gygax said, the rules are more guidelines, DM's discretion is the final rule.
