Professor Adam Pernell, head of the History department has been murdered and on his remains this inscription was found, “As the 13th zodiac, Ophiuchus, comes into alignment, so too do the stars... 'the liberated Old Ones would teach them new ways to shout and kill and revel and enjoy themselves, and all the earth would flame with a holocaust of ecstasy and freedom'”. His fate is entwined with yours...
A Pet Rock and a Hard Place (Cthulhu by Strobe Light)
Description:
A panic has hit the city. Normal men, woman and children have gone berserk for no apparent reason leaving behind strange symbols and death in their wake. Take on the roles of TV's greatest super sleuths: Kojak, Frank Cannon and Starsky and Hutch as they and hunt down the horror that haunts the day and night. The 70's will never be the same.
1918. The battlefields of Europe. The war has raged for four years now, and even though American troops have joined the fight, the horror shows no signs of ending. Now, a relief effort headed by a famed physician has been attacked, and you have been assigned to help them in any way you can.
In the town of River Heights, there is an ancient house owned by the eccentric Mrs. Ayreshire. Local legends say the house is “alive,” and changes dimensions when “the stars are right.” The normally private Mrs. Ayreshire has asked her friend Carson Drew for help, but she hasn’t indicated what the nature of her “problem” might be. Can Nancy Drew and the Hardy Boys solve the mystery of the Five and a Half Minute Hallway?
It is December 1944 and World War II rages on in the Pacific ocean. Germany and Japan on the defensive. You and the crew of the attack submarine, U.S.S. Angelfish are on patrol. War is hell, yes, but what other horrors exist beneath the depths?
You've donned your latex elf ears and polished your plastic armor for the 10th Anniversary session of Endless Quests, Indiana's largest and longest running Live Action Roleplaying campaign. The owners, in a bid to save the dying chapter, have promised a grand battle with fabulous loot and sets, so despite all the real life drama and hard feelings, you've reluctantly decided to attend. A sense of humor and stomach for satire is required.
You and your companions have received an inquiry from the Vous family, a local family of some prominence. They are very upset that the family mausoleum has been vandalized and the body of their most noted ancestor, the pirate Dominique You, has apparently been stolen. They would like you to be part of a discrete investigation and will compensate you handsomely.
In the near future a cataclysmic event will threaten to alter the face of humanity for all times. It will begin in the east but can you stop it from spreading to the rest of the world or even starting at all? The visions you've had of yourself evoking warnings to stop the insanity may be more than just the onset of madness you thought they were.
25th anniversary! This event is designed for those with extensive skills in horror themed Call of Cthulhu role-playing. Players who add the most to the experience will be invited to advance in the tournament. One winner will be awarded the highly coveted Brain Case.
