Call of Cthulhu - Tales of the Crescent City: Needles
New Orleans, 1926. As rumours of strange happenings over the recent Mardi Gras celebrations have just faded, a spate of kidnappings and disappearances stirs unrest within the city. A prominent surgeon, ambushed by shadowy features, survives his ordeal with a newfound fear of needles. Something ancient is stirring, and it will be up to the curious mind to the city’s investigators to discover what.
This is part of a series of loosely interconnected adventures. Participation or knowledge of previous instalments is not required to play, but it might add an interesting additional layer for returning players.
Call of Cthulhu 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.

Trigger Warnings
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
(graphic at times), period-typical racism, body horror,
claustrophobia, blood, needles, medical horror, 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. While this story is set in a period where societal racism was widespread in the US, this is not a central theme in the story.
