CALL OF CTHULHU: Beginners Night

Call of Cthulhu: Beginners Night

Call of Chtulhu is a horror game meant to take players into the dark, threatening world of the Mythos, building upon the works of authors such as H.P. Lovecraft, August Derleth, Robert W. Chambers, and many others. 

It is a game of dread, tension, and madness, where unspeakable horrors are revealed and the truths that should have stayed hidden come to light.

You will be an Investigator moved by skills mundane and occult, but most of all by a deep curiosity and a need to peer beyond the Veil.

Beware - you do so at your own risk.

 Death and things worse than death might be the price you pay for what you'll learn.

This is a beginner session meant to offer a guided introduction to Call of Cthulhu 7E.

 It is ideal for new players, those who have not played the latest version of the system, or those who have only played simplified, rules-light systems like Cthulhu Dark.

What do you need to bring:

Nothing - dice and props will be provided.

 Pre-generated characters will also be available.

 Preferences on type of character you wish to play can be accommodated if communicated in advance.

Content warnings for this session:

This is a horror game with deep existential themes and so dark and unsettling elements will be frequent.

 Character death and descent into madness are common occurrences in this game.

 Specific trigger warnings for violence on people and animals (graphic at times), body horror, claustrophobia, blood, spiders and insects, mental illness.

H.P. Lovecraft is infamous for his unacceptable beliefs on a number of topics, particularly race. 

These are not reflected in the game, which offers a contemporary take on the themes of existential dread and cosmic horror explored in the Mythos.
