Carnival of Madness: A Call of Cthulhu Scenario for the 1970s
 |
Carnival of Madness
On the evening of Friday¸ October 30th¸ 1970¸ you're headed for the Carnival Pandemonium in western Massachusetts on the night before Halloween. It's a time for pumpkins¸ costumes¸ apple cider¸ colorful leaves¸ wood smoke¸ and of course¸ bone chilling terror! Most of the folks going there tonight are families and couples just out for a bit of fun¸ games¸ and a little spooky excitement¸ but others have far more serious or even sinister purposes. Whatever your reason for being there¸ one thing is certain. Everyone at the carnival this evening will experience things unimagined in their darkest nightmares. You don't know it yet¸ but the part you play may determine the fate of all humanity.
From the creators of The Pipeline and Highway of Blood comes Carnival of Madness¸ a 1970s era scenario for Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition that pays homage to the classic grindhouse films of the time. For that reason¸ it is extremely deadly and gritty and is intended for MATURE AUDIENCES ONLY.
This scenario includes multiple plot ideas¸ pre-generated characters¸ numerous handouts¸ and variant Sanity rules. It's intended to be played in a single session¸ but it's certainly possible to extend it to two or even three sessions if the players are interested in more extensive role play or if they want to spend more time playing the carnival games.
