About the adventure
This Call of Cthulhu campaign is certainly a lot different than your standard one, it is as much of an Adventure as much as it is a Scenario. You receive a telegram from a wealthy English gentleman in Peru who is sponsoring an expedition into a Pyramid that no one even knew existed before the news spread about it like wildfire. But there is something very bizarre about this Pyramid and the ones that seek to find it, something beyond ancient and out of the ordinary. As you keep unfolding the answers to this expansive mystery, you will find yourself in various different parts of the world, including New York, London, Shanghai, and other places that you likely never thought you'd ever visit before, let alone doing it to investigate secret societies and mysterious cults that are very elusive. You are not alone in this however, so keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

About me
I'm a passionate World Builder and Voice Artist, and I combine those skills to bring fantasy worlds to life through TTRPGs, I also work closely with my Players and communicate with them to involve them in the World Building process, making the setting of the campaign truly our own, embracing collaborative storytelling I consider myself a World Director as much as I am a Game Master, combining fun gameplay scenarios such as dungeon crawling and tactical encounters with epic loot as well as a healthy mix of exploration and downtime interactions that feature a lot of character development and interconnected stories. I played multiple Game Systems, including the most popular one in the market D&D 5E, but my favorite RPG System for Fantasy is Pathfinder Second Edition and my favorite RPG System in general is Call of Cthulhu. Whichever game system you prefer playing though, I am very adaptable and welcoming of new games, experiences and adventures to go through together as we build our very own world.

Creating your character
Character creation is very simple to do in Foundry VTT and we can even do it in the first session as well, if you wish to have one ready before the session, you may use the Dhole's House, a very robust free online Call of Cthulhu character creator, you may also fill in the sheet manually by hand if you wish, but we have to copy your stats over to Foundry when we begin. There are also plenty of handouts available for pre-built character sheets with skills and attributes that are the most relevant to the Scenario, if you are more of a beginner or you are experienced but prefer playing pre-built characters.
What to expect
Preparing for the session
Add me on Discord, my username is lestragson and I will invite you to the server where we host the games and I'll show you how to use Foundry VTT if you're not familiar with it yet.
What Lestragson brings to the table
I'll provide the scenes alongside ambient music that fits the mood of what is presented. I have a lot of voices for my characters that make them easily recognizable, but I'll also have visual aid with Tokens or Tags for different speakers.
