About the adventure

This is a very short Call of Cthulhu scenario designed for busy people and wholly new players to enjoy. The setting is the necropolis of ancient Egypt in the 1920's. You will take on the role of pre-generated characters. Due to a mishap (or malfeasance) your team has been locked into a dark forgotten tomb. It wouldn't be so bad if you weren't running out of air and starting to hear something move... Presented as an organized play for the "Cult Of Chaos" program, this game is brought to its players free of charge.

About me

I have been playing TTRPG's since I was 8 years old. I started with the basic red box and have worked myself through a modest library of systems. I enjoy a lively table, and lean toward strong player agency within the confines of a given system.

Creating your character

As stated above, we will be using pre-generated PC's. No muss no fuss.

What to expect

Preparing for the session

The game will be played over discord. Have dive and something to take notes with.

What Joseph brings to the table

I have successfully ran this scenario twice, once in a convention setting. I also intend to use ambient music and sound effects.

Homebrew rules

Luck spends and pushed rolls will be allowed. These will be gone over once the game is started for those who aren't informed.
