About the adventure

Short and sweet one shot: Call of Cthulhu Modern 7th Ed(mostly), date the near now. You and a few others are on a late subway ride home. But for some reason it blows past your stop. Outside the window is mostly darkness, but the glances of things you see in bits of light, concern you. How will you get off and get home? This is a one shot CoC homemade adventure, anyone from brand new, to well aged players welcome.

About me

I have been playing and running games since the Late 70s, but I have done a LOT of games over the years, so while I am an old GM, I am not so old school. Horror tends to be my Jam, but I also run some "Beer and Pretzel" games as well.

Character creation

Creating your character

Since this will be a one shot, pre-made modern characters will be provided using the 7th edition Keepers handbook and Investigators handbook.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

This game will be over voice and camera on a personal discord server.

What philip brings to the table

This game will be an escape/survival style game. Limited rule of cool will be allowed, and it will be role play heavy with the dice as a guide tool.

Homebrew rules

Chase rules will not be used, and having a gun ready and drawn will not change your Initiative standing. As a one shot, Luck use will be capped at 50% of your starting luck over the whole session.

Equipment needed to play

Internet

Computer

Microphone

Webcam

Safety

How philip creates a safe table

As a one shot there will not be a full session 0, but some time will be given at the start of the game to go over lines and veils. Lines and Veils will be sent to players by email when emails are confirmed and will be encouraged to be filled out and returned. Extra copies will also be sent to DM on discord with the characters. Capital Letters for X,N and O will be sent if needed to the GMs discord DM box, however if the players want to do something slightly different when it is brought up (if they all want to use cards on video for example) then we will switch to that for the session.
