Camp Sunny (A Call of Cthulhu Game)

About the adventure

What could possibly go wrong during a vacation at an off-season summer camp? "It’s been a good semester but the workload has been tough. Despite the huge amount of work you still have on your plate, you have decided that a break away from the stress of college is just what the doctor ordered. So you went online to find a cheap place to stay for a few days. While surfing the web, you remembered a place your uncle once mentioned: Camp Sunny! A small and quiet resort in the Great Lakes — exactly what you were looking for. Your uncle found the telephone number, allowing you call and reserve a couple of cabins. The six of you got together and packed your gear into the SUV and set o North. A hundred miles into the journey the damned SUV began to overheat. Once it had had a chance to cool down and the radiator was refilled, you managed to finish your journey at an average speed of around 40 mph, nursing it all the way. Of course, it was dark by the time you arrived and the last bit of the journey was not quite how the GPS had indicated, but this must be the place. It’s just past 11 p.m. when you pass through the gates of the camp and park next to the Reception Block. As you stop the engine, it coughs one last time and dies. You groan as you realize you are going to have deal with the SUV’s problems tomorrow." Camp Sunny is suitable for 3 to 6 players. New players are welcome. This is a one shot set in the modern day. You will be given a premade characters with well integrated backstories.

Additional Details

How to prepare

Players will need a microphone and good internet connection to connect to fantasy grounds. Webcams are strongly encouraged because I feel that player expressions are important to facilitate game play. If you absolutely do not feel comfortable using a webcam you will not be required too. Characters sheets and dice will be provided in fantasy grounds.

What I provide

I will bring the rule system, character sheets, dice, maps and illustrations within fantasy grounds.

Gameplay details

Call of Cthulhu is a horror game with dark themes and heavy role playing encouraged. One-Shot Call of Cthulhu games where you are given pregenerated characters are akin to improv acting. I've given the game an 18+ rating because there may be adult themes. If you feel uncomfortable with something please let me know privately and I will address the issue immediately.

How will character creation work

This is a one-shot Call of Cthulhu game where characters will be pregenerated with strong role playing ties written into their back stories. Much of the fun in these type of games is the challenge of playing a character that you don't expect and have not prepared to play.
