About the adventure
This is New York in the Summer of 1947 and you are detectives who work for the most overwhelmed precinct in the city. Yes, during all the heat, all the sweat, all the discomfort that this summer has brought, you must continue to be the glue that holds the city together, that keeps people moving, that keeps people civil, that keeps people alive. But as those who would be called The Greatest Generation come home from the war and find homes, love and work, something has been brought back with them. Something evil. Something malevolent.
Additional Details
How to prepare
- You will need a working webcam and microphone - Please test it prior to the meeting to ensure we can get started on time and with a minimum of delay. - Free Roll20 Account for dice rolling, character sheets, music and photos. - Free Discord Account for Audio and Video. I prefer that folks use video so I can see your room, be nosy, and also just allow folks to connect to each other better, but if you absolutely don't want to be on camera, no big deal.
What I provide
Characters, music, atmosphere, fun.
Gameplay details
- I tend to focus on role play, and not on the dice. - If you are a rules lawyer or tend to be a stickler for rules, dice, and "it should be done this way" please don't bother. - This is a Call of Cthulhu game; you should expect terrible things to happen. - If you have any hard issues, please contact me privately before the game. - We will also discuss briefly prior to starting play, with a 5-10 minute Session 0. - I tend to keep sessions short, 3-4 hours, as that seems to be the maximum that folks can handle with quality. - We will take occasional breaks for stretching, refreshments, and such.

How will character creation work
I will provide pre-generated police detectives to start with, we can bring them to life with more details prior to the game by working together prior to the session. I tend to think of this as L.A. Confidential meets H.P. Lovecraft!
