About the adventure
The Foggy Sea may be an old fishing ship, but she's sturdy and reliable...unlike the large ocean liner you find yourself sailing towards now. As part of the Foggy Sea's capable crew, you speed through the mists of Boston Harbor to investigate the SS Champagne, which has not returned any hails for quite some time upon arriving from England. What awaits you onboard? The Order of the Stone is a short campaign for 1920s era Call of Cthulhu Investigators. It's got a little bit of everything: horror mystery, evil cults, investigation, running around the Massachusetts countryside trying to prevent the end of the world. This short campaign is excellent for beginners and a worthy challenge for experienced players. You will choose from one of six pre-generated characters and be immediately immersed in the story and its world: the iconic Arkham and Miskatonic Valley. This is also a play-by-post campaign, which means you roleplay through text messages on Discord, the game is always live, and you participate when you can!

About me
🇹🇼 🇺🇸 🏳️🌈 Chicky, she/her, bumbling Sagittarius who's bad at math but good at stories, probably forgetting an important step in a recipe right now. 🩷 💛 💙 GMing is my dream job, and it's important to me that I bring the same level of quality to every session. When you show up at my table, you can focus on making meaningful choices as the character you love in an interesting world, and know that I will give the same level of care and attention right back. My favorite thing about GMing is getting to make friends with lovely people all around the world and tell memorable stories together. I love running many different systems, because I get to learn something unique about each system and use it to improve my game mastering. My GM super powers include: comedic upbeats, tug-at-your-heartstrings emotional resonance, memorable NPCs, and a world shaped around your characters. In the real world, I work for a nonprofit that works every day to save the planet through conservation of biodiversity. My partner and I love to unwind over a nice co-op video game or movie with our two prima donna cats. If you're interested in playing with me but my listed games don't match your schedule, message me directly and let's chat!

Creating your character
You will choose from one of six pre-generated characters that comes complete with personal motivations and relationships to other characters.
The party of five investigators are almost done with Chapter 1, at which point this game will move inland to the city of Arkham to begin Chapter 2. This is a great time to create your own investigator and join the story!
