The Sins of the Father - A Call of Cthulhu Scenario
 |
Merry Christmas! Your old Uncle Douglas is deathly ill¸ and he has called the whole Prescott family together for one last Christmas - and anyone who doesn't come is getting written out of the will. As you hear your cousin and your aunt screaming at each other in the next room¸ you settle in with a glass of wine: you're going to need it. Because things are about to get a whole lot worse.
The Sins of the Father is a horror mystery scenario for 7th Edition Call of Cthulhu¸ set in a fabulous manor house in the rural mountains of British Columbia in 2005. The investigators are members of the deeply dysfunctional Prescott family¸ coming to celebrate what will surely be a truly unpleasant family Christmas. As a blizzard begins to envelop the house¸ family resentments turn to murder¸ and the investigators must uncover the true killer.
This scenario is designed for 2-4 players¸ and it should take about 2 sessions of 4 hours each. The scenario is a low- to no-combat scenario that emphasizes roleplay and investigation.
Don't fret! The holidays may be over¸ but the horror is not! This scenario is set on Christmas Eve¸ but it can be set any time in the year - all you need is a blizzard or torrential rainstorm.
What's included in this scenario?
- A 49-page PDF¸ fully bookmarked for ease of use
- A unique 20-page scenario that mixes classic murder mystery with supernatural horror and science fiction.
- Two dozen illustrations¸ including four pieces of beautiful original art from Chris Huth (cover artist for Blackwater Creek).
- A full-colour map of the sprawling manor house¸ Castle Kilmarnock - both Keeper and player versions¸ plus printer-friendly versions of each.
- A full-colour map of the estate by Benjamin Wenham¸ with both a Keeper and player version.
