About the adventure
You have recently each been contacted by Rupert Merriweather, an aging man you have known for some time. Merriweather is unwell and seems not long for this world. He has asked you to meet him at St. Mary’s Teaching Hospital in Arkham at one o’clock on Thursday. You haven’t seen the man for quite some time, so this urgent summons appears to be quite important. Perhaps he has something to tell you before he dies? The mystery will unfold as you explore. Will you be able to finish what Merriweather set in motion, or will you suffer strange fate at the edge of darkness?

Gameplay details
Using pre generated characters, we will explore the world of Call of Cthulhu. You can learn the game as a new player. experienced players can enjoy the ride and know what kind of things might be good courses of action. This is a game of cosmic horror, insanity and violence set in a less enlightened point in our history. We'll have a short talk about lines and veils to determine limits in engaging with that. Players are expected to communicate triggers in order or facilitate moving forward with the game in a respectful manner.
