About the adventure
One of three fantastically terrifying adventures to melt your investigator's (and maybe your players) minds awaits within this volume from the good people at Chaosium. No scenario is alike, and all will require a different approach, if the true forces of the cosmos are to be held back… if only until next time. Players take on the role of investigators of mysteries, uncovering dark secrets, encountering strange monsters, and thwarting sinister cults. Together, you and your friends create and develop a story in which each of your characters plays a leading role, which could be foiling some dastardly plot or stopping horrors from beyond space and time!

Creating your character
Character creation will function through a guided step-by-step process during Session Zero, meaning by the end, you'll be able to make your very own tailor-made character ready to explore the horror of Call of Cthulhu!

How Kobold Kaverns (GM Mike) creates a safe table
⭐- Play Safety Deck: Players will have access to a Safety Deck within Foundry VTT that will allow them to pause, fade to black, or fast forward gameplay (amongst other things) should the players feel uncomfortable in anyway. Use of this Safety Deck is anonymous and is a great tool used in all of my games! ⭐ - Open Door Policy: Real Life comes first - life happens, and that’s okay! My open-door policy means you can leave the game at any time for any reason-no questions asked, no pressure, no negative repercussions. Whether it's because of an emergency, discomfort, or simply because you're not enjoying the session, your well-being always comes first. I want you to know that your participation is always valued, but there’s no obligation to stay if real life calls or if the game’s not working for you. ⭐ - Our Gameplay: You can look forward to deep, narrative-driven sessions where character development, interaction, and teamwork are central. The world will present tactical challenges, and your decisions will have meaningful consequences-so think ahead! While I want you to have fun, when your character steps into a fire, expect them to get burned. The balance between risk and reward will drive much of the experience, and I’ll do my best to keep you on your toes! Your safety and enjoyment are my top priorities. By implementing these tools and practices, I hope to create a space where we can create a rich, immersive world together. Your comfort and feedback are vital to this, so don’t hesitate to reach out with any thoughts or suggestions along the way.
