Astounding Adventures! (1)

After finishing Our one on one campaign - Horror's Heart, I decided to use old BRP supplement - Astounding Adventures (as You can already tell after the topic of this entry). For many years it was the substitute of real Pulp Cthulhu, but even now, after the later landed in tentacles of fans all over the world, Astounding... is a very solid thing. 
The artwork is very good, the three adventures are fun and the adventure generator can be useful not only for straight Pulp adventures. After I choose the first adventure to run - Peril of Sumatra - and make a couple of handouts for my only player, I was ready to play.  Then something truly magnificent happened! One of the players from my first ever RPG group reach out to me and ask if he and his lady, can play with us. The now live in a different country, so for the first time ever I run game over the net. It was something different, exciting and fun. We use Skype. During play, I send them handouts in files. Overall it was a very good new experience. A lot of things to improve, but in the end, those players from abroad ask for another session. So I want to run then two other scenarios from Astounding Adventures and then we will see. Maybe something with Two Heads? But with real life™, different time zones, work, and other stuff is it even possible? No... It will be madness. Don't You think?

Below my couple of handouts from Peril of Sumatra!


And here it is the book itself...

Horror's Heart

Last week was amazing! Truly amazing, without a doubt!
Of course, we use Pulp Cthulhu rules set, from obvious reasons. One player is not enough to stand before so many foes. And it was truly epic, but in a more personal and geographical scale than Masks of Nyarlathotep. We played this campaign in subsequent dates from 28 of October to 1 of November.5 scenarios, 5 fight nights. As for the campaign, it was the product of 90's and many changes had to be made to truly appreciate the climate and atmosphere of Montreal. But with cthulhureborn.wordpress.com handouts, sites with period maps (www.oldmapsonline.org)and so one, it is not impossible to do so. In the end, it was very good and creepy game. To its core... To its heart...
