Can You hear? Music from a darkened room...

After PX Poker Night scenario, once more we came back to our present campaign. So I decided to use one of my favorite classics - Music from a darkened room. What more can I say? This is a very specific mission, very hard and very dangerous. Everyone lose so much sanity, that next time it will be a breaking point time. House on Spooner is still standing. Maybe in the future, somebody will go back there?

As always I use my typical format for the intro for this game.

And for next time... I've started preparing something special: 

(I know, I know, not official cover just a mashup I made...)

Sounds interesting?

New Year! New Possibilities!

Ah yes! The New Year has come. With its old problems, new problems and lots of possibilities!

But the new year is a moment of great sales, so I choose to buy something I thought about for a long time. Ladies and Gentlemen! Pirates and scums! In my greedy little tentacles is...

...Blood Tide! Maybe someday I will run something in that genre, maybe. Who knows!? 

The second thing I received lately is something much smaller, much more awaited. 

This is little zin, made by Good Friend os Jackson Elias. I myself lately became a Good Friend of a Good Friends, so this is a present from them to all of their Patreons.  Everyone should definitely check them out on:

Blasphemous Tomes

Other things lurk in Our little dark corner of the earth...

Somewhere in the shadows lurks SAP and other things...

On DG front was quiet since September. It was only a veil! Behind the scenes neverending fight with darkness rage on!

So since my last ramblings, we play three great scenarios. First one was Observer Effect - I do not need to tell You how good this adventure is. Pure gold in terms of playing with players heads. To such extent that one of the Agents shot himself in the head at the moment of the last scream at 10 o'clock, at the very end of the module! This was a very intense experience for all of us. Below You got intro created for the recording of this game.

To make things easier, to catch some breath before delving into more darkness, I decided to run something a little bit different. For so much needed change of scenery, I chose an old module - The Colony. I run it with pre-gen characters, and with special character sheets. Even Arc Dream repost picture from this game. Thank You! So much fun! Here is an intro to all of my DG one-shots, I only change titles of modules we are playing.

And last, but no means least is Our last game (1 of December 2018). This time we played the ongoing campaign. Leftovers from Observer Effect had a new mission. This time from Controlcopy module. No one died, but sanity loses were very big. So next time it will be breaking point time!

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...

Before we went to Montreal...

Just before Our first session of Horror's Heart, I've decided to have another scenario. For two reasons. First is, of course, reminding of Pulp Cthulhu rules after a long time not playing in this particular iteration of  BRP system. The second reason is to give my wife's character a special amulet. I want to give her some Deep One jewelry with 30 points of Luck. It may seem a bit too much, but remember she will be playing all alone in a campaign.
My first choice was Isle of Madness by Ed Possing from Miskatonic Repository. This is my first product from that line. It is quick, nasty little adventure. Cannot wait to run it. Maybe even this week!
Here it is in my possession:

Here is a map from that module. Printed on an aged paper.

Horror's Heart

My DG group is on hiatus for a moment, at home We recently ended Our three months period of playing Cyberpunk in Our classic Bielitz setting. So it is this time of the year again to play in Pulp Cthulhu. After last years Masks of Nyarlathotep, this time I want to play a more low key game. More intimate You might say. I choose Horror's Heart. Maybe not the best campaign out there, but definitely more suitable for my needs. Yesterday was session "0" and we create a character of thrill seeker Estella Porter who is a reporter. Below You can see my first round of handouts for my one and only player - NPC portraits.
