About the adventure
Everyone of you play as a member of an archaeological dig in the Valley of Kings, Egypt. A never documented tomb has been discovered and this is your chance to make your career and fortune. Are you ready to venture into The Necropolis? This is a very fast paced and short Call of Cthulhu scenario, taking about an hour and in any case longer than two. It's perfect to introduce new players or veterans looking for something new, short and fun.

What I provide
I will bring my 20+ years of experience running Call of Cthulhu games for different kinds of people, old or young, new or experienced; friends, strangers and strangers who then became friends by playing together. The dice are rolled on Roll20 VTT, characters sheets, portraits, handouts with clues found during play and some illustration. Background music played through the Roll20 web VTT.
Gameplay details
It's a very simple and fun scenario that is short and intense, it all happens in a single location. Perfect for beginners and veterans alike. SInce it's a super short one shot, we will take the first 20 min or so to do a mini session zero, to select characters and talk about the game and expectations.
