Learn to Play Call of Cthulhu: Investigative Horror Play by Post

About the adventure

Welcome to Call of Cthulhu! Something ancient stirs, indifferent to human fear, waiting to be uncovered. This game offers a tense blend of cosmic horror, investigation, and psychological dread. Investigators will: - Piece together fragmented testimonies, corrupted records, and truths humanity was never meant to know. - Confront inhuman forces and impossible revelations, where survival often comes at the cost of sanity. - Solve mysteries solo or with friends. Themes: Cosmic horror, forbidden knowledge, isolation, and the fragility of the human mind. Tone: Atmospheric, slow-burning, and investigative, with escalating tension and moments of quiet terror. Prepare to question what is real, what is human, and what should have remained buried. In Call of Cthulhu, knowledge is never free — and the truth may be the most dangerous thing of all. --- Please note this is a PLAY BY POST game! What is Play by Post? - Play-by-post (PbP) is a way of playing a tabletop role-playing game through written messages instead of live sessions - Players and the GM post messages on Discord - Each post describes: what your character says, what they do, sometimes what they think or notice - Posts happen asynchronously - You don’t all need to be online at the same time How my Play by Post games work: - I will respond at least 1-2 times every 24 hours - Battlemaps will be provided on Roll20 - Combat is done in this order: players > monsters > players and so on (this is to keep the game moving) Why Play by Post? Play-by-post often: - allows inner monologue and detail - feels closer to collaborative fiction - gives more time to think before acting Great if you: - love writing and character depth - Have time to write a short message at least once a day As always message me if you have any questions. I look forward to rolling with you at the table!
