  1. Weil man einen Aufhänger braucht um europäische bzw. amerikanische Charaktere problemlos in die Handlung zu bekommen?

    D.h., es ist unerheblich? Also hätte sich M'Weru auch an einen jungen Rockefeller oder Vanderbilt (Hauptsache reich!) heran machen können? Dieser hätte dann die Träume bekommen und hätte dann seinen Psychiater aufgesucht und die Geschichte wäre genau so gelaufen, nur mit einem anderen Millionär?

    Das wäre ja erschreckend einfach und ziemlich ideenlos; aber möglich.

     

    Zu meinem Posting. Ich gebe Dir völlig Recht Dark Pharaoh, dass man derartige Fragen im entsprechenden Bereich stellen sollte.

    Das Problem dabei ist leider nur, dass dort vermutlich in erster Linie jene hinein schauen, welche die Kampagne noch nicht gespielt haben. Ich wollte mich aber gerade an jene wenden, die bereits Erfahrung mit der Kampagne hatten.

    Es wäre somit für den Fragesteller hilfreich, wenn solche Fragen etwa 1-2 Wochen im Spielleiterbereich verbleiben könnten, bevor sie verschoben werden... Das tut ja keinem weh.

  2. Das Automobil, ein Clyno von 1926, ist ein sehr preiswerter Wagen für nur £300. Seine Farbe ist Mausgrau. Er besitzt einen 1368-cm³-Coventry-Climax-SV-Vierzylinder-Motor, hat einen elektrischen Starter und 4-Rad-Bremsen. Er hat 11.9 PS und erreicht eine Höchstgeschwindigkeit von ca. 110 km/h.

  3. Ich werde vermutlich bald mit der Frage konfrontiert werden, weshalb die Carlyle Expedition auszog?

    Nicht weshalb sie auszog, sondern weshalb es gerade DIESE Expedition sein musste.

     

    Nyarlathotep hat doch viele reiche und mächtige Kult-Anhänger auf der ganzen Welt (was ja gerade die Welt-umspannende Kampagne beweist).

    Penhew hätte ja auch allein aufbrechen können, tat es aber nicht.

    Und ein williges Gefäss, zum Gebären des Spawn, hätte man doch überall finden können...

     

    Weshalb also unbedingt Roger Carlyle und die anderen?

     

    PS: Ich weiss, dass dies nicht der richtige Thread ist, aber nur so erreiche ich möglichst viele.

  4. Der Blonde erhebt sich. "Entschuldigen Sie mich."

     

    Dann verlässt er, ohne ein weiteres Wort zu sagen, das Büro. Und die Tür fällt hinter ihm fast lautlos in Schloss.

     

    Nach kurzer Zeit sind von der Strasse quietschende Reifen zu hören, gefolgt von einem lauten Hupkonzert.

    SYNOPSIS:

    The Rise of forgotten R'lyeh. Cthulhu sleeps in the corpse city of R'lyeh. Through unblinking eyes he watches mountains grow and empires rise and fall. He lays quiet, unmoving. Now he stirs as the stars converge into their proper formations. Even though the stars are not quite right, his worshipers have plotted for the day when their mighty lord once again walks the earth and they believe they can force the premature rise of the city and release the Great old One. The day has come!

     

    Hermetic Order of the Silver Twilight, the

    Locations: Boston, Massachusetts

    Creatures: Custodes

    Tomes and Artifacts: Nameless Cults, Revelations of Glaaki, Cultes de Goules, Cthulhu in the Necronomicon

     

    The investigators are asked to search for a missing journalist and learn of a new fraternity, the 'Hermetic Order of the Silver Twilight'. They are invited to join in. It is a very exclusive, wealthy and misogynistic organization with a reputation for charitable works. The order seems to become a support group the investigators are trusting, but it is their darkest enemy. There are many horrifying secrets in the organisation. There is evil lurking. The order is an international organization dedicated to the destruction of the human race.

    When the investigators are promoted to higher degrees in the order, they will gain knowledge and the truth is revealed. The order worships no earthly god and is awaiting the time when the stars come right and alien deities can reclaim what once was theirs. The investigators must piece together passages from esoteric books, shards of ancient artifacts, and puzzle letters to discover the Silver Twilight's loathsome goals. The leadership of this group includes two very dangerous wizards, who are major factors in later developments.

    The order has cultists across the world. Various clues leading to other locations, secrets of the order itself in hidden places. Magical traps and dangerous knowledge is sprinkled in the upper floors of the lodge, while the basements house the aftermath of blasphemous experiments and more clues.

    Look to the Future

    Locations: New York

    Creatures: Shoggoth

     

    The investigators travel to New York City and find that an odd businessman's organization 'Look to the Future' has discovered a unique way to profit from the future today. The organization holds strange ceremonies where they tease innocent members with glimpses of the future, and preach something of a self-empowerment philosophy, all the while stealing energy from the meetings’ attendees.

    The investigators notice that something is going on, and that there are people scattered around the world involved. The 'Look to the Future' is the front for the 'Hermetic Order of the Silver Twilight'. They are stockpiling a deadly bacteria called Black Fever. Below the building used by the order there is a clue to cultists operating in Scotland, California and Chile.

    Coven of Cannich, the

    Locations: Denver, Colorado; Cannich, Scotland

    Creatures: Serpent Man, Cthonian

    Tomes and Artifacts: True Magick, R'lyeh Disk

     

    A Denver townsman hires the investigators to travel to the Scottish Highlands. His uncle has mysteriously disappeared, after sending three cryptic letters, from his village home of Cannich. The missing man is a noted American big game hunter and archaeologist The investigators must contend with suspicious locals as well as strange foreigners working at a loch-side dig near Inverness. They discover that the man was murdered by a rural coven of witches associated with the 'Hermetic Order of the Silver Twilight'. They are searching for pieces of the large R'lyeh disk, a powerful magic item, made of pure gold. The feel of not knowing whom to trust is in the air. There is an archaeological dig, the ghost of a victim of the cult, the cult’s own agenda, and a mysterious cavern complex with serpent people and a cthonian.

    Devil's Canyon

    Locations: Devil's Canyon, California

    Creatures: Spectral Hunter

    Tomes and Artifacts: The Golden Bough, Arc of Vlactos

     

    Back in the States, a big-money motion-picture producer hires the investigators to explore the spooky set of his 500-grand, Hollywood disaster. Something haunts the set location and has killed his favorite director in the California desert. The abandoned movie set is a spooky site and was the location of the producer's epic 'The Prince of Babylon'. Near the set are the ruins of a deserted Native American village. Both locations have a dark history that ties together. Here in the Devil's Canyon of the Mojave Desert, the investigators are menaced by forgotten links to the long lost Indian tribe. They discover what caused the suicide of the director of the producer's latest movie, the lead actress' death and the lead actor's madness. The source of evil is a group of invisible guardians, left behind in the village when it was abandoned. The movie set was within a limited travel range for these creatures, which were the cause for all problems, and which are very wicked, mischievous and can only be made visible by using special lenses. The Arc of Vlactos, an important artifact, is buried in a fire pit.

    Worm that Walks, the

    Locations: Maine

    Creatures: Mi-go, Shoggot

     

    At this point, the investigators need rest, and are actually offered one. The next letter the investigators receive is from Christopher Edwin. The benefactor offers them a refuge and help in their research. What seems like a welcome turns into a series of increasingly lethal encounters. Each lead instead of help or rest or knowledge leads to danger, ranging from poisonings, to attacks by madmen, to an attack by a shoggoth in mid seas, to the mysterious attack by a strange unknown creature, because the benefactor is another enemy, because the old man in the wheel-chair is a Mii-Go in disguise. This is the cult's revenge for the investigators' meddling. Assuming they survive, they will find a letter from Carl Stanford with a clue to the true aim of the Order.

    This scenario is a brilliant bit of nastiness that can be dropped into almost any campaign.

    Watchers of Easter Island, the

    Locations: Easter Island

    Creatures: Deep One, Dimensional Shambler, Crawling One

     

    An archeological group on Easter Island made an unusual discovery and then disappeared. The investigators, following more clues, make it to the island and have to deal with the colonial government, and the locals, who are dealing with some nasty and unimaginable evil. This evil captured the archeologists and is about to sacrifice them. To find the cave where the thing lurks, the investigators must: sweet talk the military governor, get introduced to the local bird-man, swim to an underwater cave, fight off a Dimensional Shambler and several Deep Ones. Only then, can they deal with the horrible Crawling One and its plan to prepare the way for Cthulhu. There is the key to the Silver Twilight's defeat.

    Rise of R'lyeh, the

    Location: Island in the Pacific

    Creatures: The Guardian Thing, The Messanger of the Old Ones

     

    The investigators try to catch up with the cult, and travel to the risen R’lyeh, to thwart the plans of the order. The order has been preparing for this moment since a very long time. The investigators know that they can sink the island before Cthulhu can be fully freed. They must face the might of the Silver Twilight and the mythos itself, and must use the gathered resources to send R'lyeh back to the bottom of the ocean. If the investigators fail their Cthulhu Mythos and Idea rolls, they will be literally 'lost at sea'.

    People of the Monolith (Bonus Scenario 1)

    Locations: Hungary

    Tomes and Artifacts: Extract from Nameless Cults

     

    The investigators hear a tale about a strange rock in Hungary. There are several stories about the Black Stone. If the investigators visit the site on Midsummer's Night, they will see a horrific ceremony.

    The scenario is based on Robert E. Howard's story 'The Black Stone'.

    Warren, the (Bonus Scenario 2)

    Locations: Boston, Massachusetts

     

    The investigators hear reports of an explosion at the deserted Boucher estate near Boston. The house and gardens of the estate are infested with monstrous creatures. The Boucher family had isolated itself from the outside world for generations and degenerated into a bestial life form.

    Having several writers working on the first full campaign published for Call of Cthulhu makes the result a rather messy one. But the scenarios, used as stand alones, are in fact quite good.

  6. Der Blonde lächelt, als er Dich sieht. Er breitet seine Arme, leicht übertrieben, weit ausladend aus, als er auf Dich zu kommt. So als würde er Dich umarmen wollen. Doch als er vor Dir steht, ergreift er nur Deine Hand und schüttelt diese leicht hölzern mit einer knappen Verbeugung. "Stratton. Hugh Stratton." Sein Händedruck ist angenehm trocken und fest. Das Lächeln ist noch immer in seinem Gesicht. "Sehr erfreut Sie kennen zu lernen. Sie müssen Herr Eklund sein; unser neuer Mitarbeiter."

     

    Dann schliesst er die Tür zum Büro auf und lässt Matilde eintreten. "Bitte teten Sie ein, Herr Eklund und machen Sie es sich bequem." Die Gesichtszüge des Blonden wirken leicht verkrampft. Noch immer lächelt der Mann.

     

    Er bietet Matilde und Dir einen Stuhl an. "Ich habe schon einiges über Ihr Wissen und Ihr Können gehört, Herr Eklund. Sehr beeindruckend. Ich freue mich, einen so talentierten Mitarbeiter bei uns willkommen zu heissen. Ich hoffe, dass Sie sich hier wohl fühlen werden."

     

    "Möchten Sie etwas zu Trinken? Einen Kaffee? Einen Earl Grey vielleicht? Oder lieber ein Tonic Water?"

     

    "Ich habe gehört, Sie stammen aus Schweden? Ich liebe Skandinavien. Sie müssen mir unbedingt etwas von Ihrer Heimat erzählen." Das Lächeln scheint dem Blonden wie ins Gesicht gemeisselt, während Dich seine blauen Augen ständig mustern.

    Dann lächelt er Matilde an, wobei er mit dem linken Auge zwinkert und sein Lächeln für einen Moment sogar noch breiter wird.

  7. Zwei Personen kommen die Treppe zum Büro hinauf. Ein Mann und eine Frau. Sie unterhalten sich. Du erkennst die Stimme der Frau sofort. Der Akzent. Dieser süsse, sexy, italienische Akzent.

    Die Simme des Mannes kennst Du nicht. Es ist definitiv nicht jene von Herrn Kilmister, den Du ja bereits kennen gelernt hast. Etwas schwingt in der Stimme des Mannes mit. Die Stimme hat etwas Hartes. Etwas Schneidiges. Es ist eine Art unterschwelliger Befehlston, wie jene eines Mannes vom Militär, der in seinen Sätzen mitschwingt. Aber er scheint kein Ausländer zu sein, denn er spricht Englisch mit leichtem cornischen Akzent.

     

    Dann siehst Du Matilde zusammen mit einem gross-gewachsenen, blonden Mann auf Dich zukommen. Das Mann ist gut gekleidet und glatt rasiert. Er hat ein verschmitztes Lächeln im Gesicht.

     

    Seine blauen Augen funkeln, als er Dich mustert.

    Die Uhr zeigt eine Viertelstunde vor Neun.

    Und das Thermometer bereits 23 Grad Celsius.

     

    Gestern waren es bereits 38 Grad im Schatten. Eine Dunstglocke liegt über London.

    Kaum eine Wolke ist am Himmel zu sehen. Die Sonne brennt gnadenlos auf die Stadt herab.

    Es wird erneut ein mörderisch heisser Tag werden. Und Linderung ist nicht in Sicht.

    SYNOPSIS:

    In ancient Egypt, a priest called Nophru-Ka was a secret worshipper of Nyarlathotep. Nophru-Ka plotted against the Pharaoh but was assassinated. As he died, Nophru-Ka spoke a prophecy telling of the destruction of the Pharaoh’s kingdom.

    In the 12th century AD, Baron Hauptman and Lang-Fu created the Brotherhood of the Beast to fulfil the prophecy. The Brotherhood protected the descendants of Nophru-Ka (the Royal Family) and laid the financial and political foundation for a plan called the Day of the Beast. On the Day of the Beast, terrorists will attack government leaders and monsters will be summoned to destroy cities across the globe.

    The year is 1927. For America it is a time of growth and prosperity. Lon Chaney, Babe Ruth, and Charlie Chan are celebrities, while the average young American enjoys speakeasies, jazz, and the new "talkies." All that is about to change. A young psychic who is also a famous medium, Paul LeMond, has visions of the Day of the Beast, and it is a sight which has driven him insane. These clues will lead the Investigators to key locations providing background information about the Brotherhood and their current activities.
