This evening, I ran my very first Call of Cthulhu scenario! I had one player with his English occultist investigator, Larry (called 'the Lucky' by me). I have the basic rules that are downloadable from the
Chaosium Website. I ran the sample adventure 'The Haunting' that is in there, and it went great! Larry did the required research and digging, didn't find everything but knew pretty much what was going on. After searching the house he killed the undead evil in the basement and emerged victorious into the light.
Points of interest:
- Larry asking three seperate times for information about the kids. Each time I told him the exact same thing.
- Larry ignoring the thumps, scrapes and tappings coming from the upstairs bedroom. When he eventually looked around in there he decided that the blood dripping from the ceiling wasn't interesting enough to investigate.
- While battling Walter in the basement, Larry tried unsuccessfully to shoot him with the nice shotguns that Larry brought with him a total of four times.
- The enchanted dagger repatedly missing Larry (at one hit point) due to his outstanding luck (which is why I call him Lucky).
Everything went great. Afterwards Larry told me how much he enjoyed the game, and expressed interest in playing again.
