Goodnight Vienna

Goodnight Vienna is a one-off scenario in which the players are the crew of an Allied bomber returning to their North African base after a raid on Naples in late 1942. Malfunctioning equipment on the plane means all they know is that they are somewhere over the Mediterranean and, after twelve hours flying, it is time to bail out. A horrible struggle for survival awaits below.

The scenario deals in detail with parachute landing, survival in hostile environments and the specifics of reaching safety plus the mythos threat that lies in wait. Goodnight Vienna is set up in two versions to accomodate either 3-4 players (flying a British Bristol Blenheim) or 5-8 (flying an American B24 Liberator). 12 Pre-gens are included as well as bail-out scripts, equipment lists, handouts, illustrations of key locations and Keeper reference sheets for crew stats.

The scenario Goodnight Vienna previously appeared as the first scenario in Chaosium's Miskatonic University Library Association Monograph Shadows of War (2008). It works for convention gaming (8 player version) and equally well for more usual group sizes (3-4 player version). It has been thoroughly revised for 7th edition Call of Cthulhu, giving both versions of the scenario equal weight and detail, and including new features such as standees for each character, indicating who they are on the front and what they know about their fellow crew members on the back.

Its time to make the leap.
