anyone else here play Call of Cthulhu? Got any good stories, or past gaming experiences? My group *loves* this game, but we currently aren't playing a campaign of it.
However, they've expressed interest in doing so, so I've been working on a campaign (complete with some custom rules for various things) I think is kinda neat. Most of my players have never read any works of HP Lovecraft and crew, so they don't know many of the rich histories and such behind some of the stuff they see when we play. So the campaign I'm working on has the basic idea ripped off from the video game eternal darkness. Basically, the players are in a house where a friend/relative/whatever recently died and, at his request, are staying there for 2 weeks before the final will reading. In this time, the players find and read texts, following hints and clues left by the deceased person. Each text they read puts them in a "Flashback" scenario that replays some classic lovecraft stories/histories/scenarios. I've taken some stories and turned them into scenarios, some histories of various books and done so, and some actual historic events and put lovecraftian twists on them.
Edit: also, if anyone is interested, I can post all of the notes I've made. note that they are rather generic, and "fill in the blank" style for yourself, and I don't currently have any maps or anything.
