About the adventure
🦑Match Up with the Mythos... and Merc 'Em! 🗺️Travel the Globe in the Dirty Thirties! 🎲Learn to Play Pulp Cthulhu! Beginners Welcome! Most of those who work for Caduceus — the American charity organization providing emergency medical care across the globe — have no knowledge of anything lurking underneath its surface mission. As they understand it, their work is still exactly what founder Joshua Meadham intended in 1912: to bring medical aid and relief to those in need, as directed by their head office in Manhattan. Behind the scenes, however, a smaller inner circle work on the true mission of Caduceus: using the guise of medical aid workers to gain access to dangerous places and carry out missions of assassination, sabotage, and subterfuge against Mythos targets, using the chaos of the local crisis to cover their actions. The year is now 1931, and YOU have become one of Caduceus' key agents, privy to its private campaign of saving humanity from the unnatural. Arm yourself with bullets and books, globetrot your way to the weird truth, and kick monsters like mi-go out on their abyssal a@#$s! 📰REVIEWS FROM PLAYERS!📰 "Jason is a great GM: professional, knowledgeable, patient." "Every character has a different voice and seemingly endless backstory. This is an easy recommendation." "He's the master of the slow burn, excelling in mystery/noir-style scenarios and slowly teasing the player with information while keeping the experience engaging the whole time." "He's also very considerate of player time and comfort. He doesn't like to get caught up in fiddly things like encumbrance and counting ammo, and he works to make sure we as players can set and enforce boundaries for things that may upset us."
