Cthulhu's 30 terrifying oneshots for horror rpg
 |
Those oneshots are structured in four parts. Without imposing a linear plot¸ this approach opens perspectives while imposing events to face. The revelation answers the questions of the first two thirds of the adventure and requires the reaction of the characters. It is designed for oneshot of two or three hours¸ with a simple yet disconcerting plot and little preparation.
These oneshots have been played many times with significant differences in the ways they unfold. I have chosen to keep only the very core of the plot¸ so that each Game Master will add subplots¸ flavour¸ atmosphere¸ allies¸ opponents¸ traitors and locations. One of the pleasure of game-mastering.
After a shocking and odd trigger/hook¸ the characters will face disturbing events¸ try to make sense of them and then a full (or partial) understanding of what's behind the scene will push them to decide how to fight¸ what to sacrifice or where to escape...
Those oneshots were tested mainly with Cthulhu Dark and Monster of the Week. I also played World of Cthulhu¸ a homebrew hack of World of Dungeons.
I hope you will enjoy those journeys in nightmarish lands. Any comment and review will be greatly appreciated.
I wish you good games !
