Call of Cthulhu: Blackwater Creek

An introduction to the world of Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition, for beginners who are wanting to learn how to play. 

Already know how to play Call of Cthulhu? Look out on our events page for further sessions coming soon!
It is late September, 1926. The start of a new school year at Miskatonic University.
A few months ago, Professor Henry Roades took an archaeological expedition from the Miskatonic University to the small settlement of Blackwater Creek in the Miskatonic Valley region of Massachusetts. Most of the expedition has returned; however Professor Roades and his wife, Abigail, are still on site. While Professor Roades has sent a letter to his head of department explaining his absence, concern is growing, especially now the new academic year has begun. The fact that Roades has not answered any subsequent correspondence is not helping. Professor Ernest McTavish, the head of the Department of Archaeology, has asked a few people to go out to Blackwater Creek, make sure that the Henry and Abigail are safe and ensure they return to Arkham as soon as possible.

    My first time at the Arcanist Tavern and first time playing RPG, and I had so much fun! Really excellent starting point either for complete beginners or those who just want to try a new game.
