The Lighthouse
Call of Cthulhu | One-Shot
About the adventure
The wind ruffles your hair and salty water splashes in your face. Soon you will reach a small, rocky island on the coast of Scotland. On it - a lighthouse and two lighthouse keepers. But is it only that? What brought you there? Curiosity? Work? A desire to help? Duty? We will soon discover this mystery - but will you be able to investigate the others? *** Regardless of whether this is your first encounter with RPG games or the Lovecraft universe, or you are an experienced player - I invite you to a short adventure. This scenario is a self-sufficient story of my authorship, tested and verified with a dozen or so different groups. The time listed in this game is provisional. I have availability to start the game earlier or later depending on the availability of the group!
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.

How will character creation work
Everyone can choose to either use prewritten characters prepared by me, give me a short synopsis of your desired character which I will turn into a ready-to-play character card or make the character themself by Call of Cthulhu 7ed rules (both simple and advanced rules are accepted for 1920s era).
