Enemy Within Campaign Shadows over Bogenhafen

Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay | Campaign

About the adventure

Adventurers Wanted: Descend into the Shadows of Bogenhafen Are you ready to awaken in a city not your own, only to discover its foundations are rotting beneath the cobblestones? Shadows Over Bogenhafen invites you into the first act of The Enemy Within—a tale of conspiracies, cults, and the corruption that bleeds through the heart of the Empire. The fairgrounds are bustling, the markets alive—but behind every cheer, something unseen festers. This is not just a town. It’s a trap.

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.

Recruiting notes

🕯️ A Haunting Storyline: Navigate a town on the brink of spiritual and political collapse, where every ally might be a traitor—and every noble house hides a secret. 🔍 Forge Your Role: Whether you're a gutter-born bravo or a scholarly physician, your skills and backstory will shape how the city responds. Trust no one, not even your past. 🏛️ Intrigue & Deception: Investigate secret gatherings, cryptic rituals, and strange sightings that threaten to erupt into citywide catastrophe. What lies beneath Bogenhafen may change the Empire forever. 🩸 Face the Hidden Cults: The Cult of the Purple Hand moves in silence. Will you uncover them in time, or become part of their game? 📖 Unravel the Enemy Within: This is the beginning of a tale that spans river, ruin, and rebellion. Every answer leads to another question.

This is my first venture in Call of Cthulu and Dunchan has made it an awesome experience. After the first session I am already made this my favorite rpg slightly above DnD. He has made this a total immersion and I am in love with Call of Cthulu now. Highly recommend this DM for any adventure.
