About the adventure

You've just unearthed a previously unknown tomb. It's the discovery of the year, and sure to solve your Earthly woes. Except, moments after stepping inside, the workers seal you inside - and you're not the first, either. Can you escape before their ravenous god rises? The Necropolis is a pulpy, escape room scenario for Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition. In particular, fans of the Mummy (1999) will enjoy this scenario.

About me

Hi👋, I'm Franc, better known as Golvin. I'd like to be your GM. While I mainly run D&D, Call of Cthulhu, and Alien RPG, my real pleasure is trying new modules and systems. (Cowboy Bebop RPG anyone?) Which has led me to a specialization in running one-shots, often including highly detailed handouts, pre-made characters, and other player aids. I also write the Reviews from the Far Reams Substack newsletter, currently focused on helping others get the most out of Call of Cthulhu 7e modules.

Character creation

Creating your character

Players can create their own character or choose one a pre-made character. 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.

Safety

How Golvin - One-Shot GM creates a safe table

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.
