GAME SETTING: The Cthulhack, an independent, original, free cosmic horror hack for ICRPG Master Edition
GAME GM: Christian Bynum (Chris AKA Li’l C)
DESCRIPTION : Everyone has trouble with the law eventually, and you have had yours. Fortunately, you had your past problems abated with the help of the trusted and skilled Mr. Arthur Blackwood, attorney-at-law in Boston. Years later, you find yourself in your lawyer’s office again, but this time Arthur is under indictment—for murder—and you have been called to help him clear his name. It’s 1927, and even cutting-edge forensics can only go so far, so Arthur is counting on you to investigate and solve the mysterious and bloody disappearance of his wife, Rose, in the next few days before his trial starts… (This session features material from The Cthulhack, a free, independent, original rules-light cosmic horror addendum for ICRPG Master Edition, and the adventure itself is an homage to and adaptation of a free 2017 Call of Cthulhu demonstration game written by John Hook and published by Chaosium.)

For this adventure, after getting familiar with the basics of characters using either Master Edition or the free quick start guide, just download my cosmic horror genre hack, The Cthulhack, posted above, and start thinking about characters. The Cthulhack: Cosmic Horror for ICRPG

As for gear, each of you will roll for a “wealth level” and put together a short inventory of mundane but useful basic items. In addition, each of you will be permitted a personal carry firearm—because it is America in the 1920s, after all—from a short list of options I will provide. We will be using the latest version of my own original pseudorealistic gun rules, which are easy to learn and understand and will be pretty simple to implement in this particular scenario. You can follow the whole discussion of their evolution in the original thread over on the Runehammer Online forum. (Eventually, I will publish these gun rules for the community, much like The Cthulhack.) Pseudorealistic Selective-Fire Gunplay for ICRPG: Two Approaches

If I get enough waitlist sign-ups for this game who don’t get to play on Sunday, I will attempt to schedule a second session for this game or another ICRPG cosmic horror investigation before RuneJammer concludes on 8/30.
