Trust no one. Slinking shadows hide lurking figures… and all the while, the Great Dreamer prepares for his awakening. You also get some extra details around magic - like the ability to. Then read on and follow the instructions. This is an extended version of our popular one-hour demo scenario, designed to introduce new players to the fun of Call of Cthulhu gaming. Where necessary, specific examples of rules at various points in the story are referenced.
In preparing to run this scenario you should be up-to-speed with the Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition rules. Some puzzles, if not completed within a short span of time always less than a minute , will result in a game over.
To ensure that the player does not get stuck by saving their game at a point from which they cannot possibly complete a puzzle in time, the game autosaves onto a separate save file at the beginning of each timed puzzle. These ports contain no enhancements from the PC versions. The English voice acting of the PC version is retained, but the text which appears when examining or picking up objects is translated to Japanese, making the game essentially unplayable without being fluent in Japanese.
The Saturn version is compatible with the Netlink Mouse. For example, the artist character might draw especially well or especially fast, or catch some unapparent detail in the drawing. The players take the roles of ordinary people drawn into the realm of the mysterious: detectives, criminals, scholars, artists, war veterans, etc.
Often, happenings begin innocently enough, until more and more of the workings behind the scenes are revealed. As the characters learn more of the true horrors of the world and the irrelevance of humanity, their sanity represented by 'Sanity Points', abbreviated SAN inevitably withers away. The game includes a mechanism for determining how damaged a character's sanity is at any given point; encountering the horrific beings usually triggers a loss of SAN points.
To gain the tools they need to defeat the horrors — mystic knowledge and magic — the characters may end up losing some of their sanity, though other means such as pure firepower or simply outsmarting one's opponents also exist. CoC has a reputation as a game in which it is quite common for a player character to die in gruesome circumstances or end up in a mental institution.
Eventual triumph of the players is not assumed. The original conception of Call of Cthulhu was Dark Worlds , a game commissioned by the publisher Chaosium but never published. Sandy Petersen contacted them regarding writing a supplement for their popular fantasy game RuneQuest set in Lovecraft's Dreamlands. He took over the writing of Call of Cthulhu , and the game was released in Since Petersen's departure from Chaosium, continuing development of Call of Cthulhu passed to Lynn Willis, credited as co-author in the fifth and sixth editions, and more recently to Paul Fricker and Mike Mason.
The game system underwent only minor rules changes in its first six editions between and ; the current seventh edition, released , includes more significant rules alterations than in any previous release.
For those grounded in the RPG tradition, the very first release of Call of Cthulhu created a brand new framework for table-top gaming. Unlike its predecessor games, CoC assumed that most investigators would not survive, alive or sane, and that the only safe way to deal with the vast majority of nasty things described in the rule books was to run away.
A well-run CoC campaign should engender a sense of foreboding and inevitable doom in its players. The style and setting of the game, in a relatively modern time period, created an emphasis on real-life settings, character research, and thinking one's way around trouble. In this work, the characters come upon a secret society's foul plot to destroy mankind, and pursue it first near to home and then in a series of exotic locations.
