About the adventure
Muppets Murder Mystery – It’s Not Easy Being Green… or Sane It's the Muppet Show, with our special guest, Elvira Mistress of the Dark! Welcome to a night of felt, fame, and fatality. The Muppet Show is going live once again—complete with musical numbers, outrageous skits, and backstage chaos—but tonight, someone won’t be joining us for the final curtain call. A murder has rocked the set, and the show must go on… but only if the killer is unmasked before the final act! In this one-shot whodunit for Call of Cthulhu (7th Edition), every player will take on the role of a Muppet-style character—chaotic, creative, and absolutely ridiculous. You’ll perform sketches, belt out tunes, and improvise hilariously bad commercials while investigating eldritch evidence and interrogating suspicious puppets. Sanity will slip. Hilarity will not. This game is perfect for theater kids (current or retired), improv lovers, musical maniacs, and chaos gremlins who want to mix cosmic horror with slapstick mayhem. No prior experience with Call of Cthulhu is necessary—new players are welcome and encouraged! Just bring your imagination, your best Muppet voice, and a sock to use as your puppet on-screen. It’s time to raise the curtain… on murder.

About me
"Never let the truth get in the way of a good story." I love fun. And roleplaying games. And cheese. And horror! I'm a professional "Learn To Play" DM, artist & writer, that enjoys teaching beginners how to play these games. I love writing and collaborative storytelling in all its forms. I use horror as a tool for creating fun and escaping reality for a few hours. I'm a professional storyteller in all its forms: writing books, ttrpg adventures, short stories, novels, and TV shows. Roll20 and Discord are my favorite replacements for in-person gaming. I live on a small island in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean, so that makes in person gaming difficult these days. So, I invested a ton of time, energy, art, writing, and creative juice to improve my Virtual DM game. I am one of the best Professional DMs you will ever encounter and have over 40 years' experience (I'm older than dirt lol). Most of my players are LGBQT and women, so we respect consent and are kind to all who play. No racism, transphobia, misogyny, or homophobia allowed. I want this to be a fun safe place for everyone. My favorite game systems are Call of Cthulhu 7th ed, D&D 5e (2014), Pathfinder 2nd ed, Cyberpunk Red, and Shadowrun 5th ed. I live in the Azores, Portugal on Sao Miguel Island. It's the Hawaii of Europe and an awesome place to live. I reside here with my family, chickens, dogs and cats.

What Sad Potato brings to the table
I provide a fully immersive and ridiculous Muppet-themed Call of Cthulhu experience that combines comedy, chaos, and just a touch of cosmic dread. Players will have access to the Call of Cthulhu 7E Core Rulebook through Roll20, and I’ll guide everyone—new or veteran—through character creation and gameplay step-by-step. Expect the unexpected: 🎠Character Voices Galore – I’ll be performing in a range of silly Muppet voices (bad impressions included) and I encourage you to do the same. 🎶 Sound Effects & Ambient Music – The Muppet Show soundtrack, backstage chaos, and eerie ambiance will set the mood as we swing from sketch comedy to sanity-shattering horror. 📜 Handouts, Clues, and Visuals – You’ll receive in-game handouts, notes, and visual props to investigate and interact with. 🎲 Rule of Cool with Puppet Strings Attached – I stick to the rules where they matter (sanity, clue hunting, consequence), but I love rewarding creativity, improvisation, and Muppet-style absurdity. Got a musical number that explains your theory? Roll for it. This game blends performance and play, so bring your flair for drama, your inner felt chaos gremlin, and your weirdest investigative ideas. Whether you're here for the eldritch horror or the rubber chicken, you're in the right place.
