What would you trade?

Nestled among the Appalachian foothills of Maine, the small town of Pennybrook has become home to a ghost story: a restless spirit wanders the cemetery at night, led by a ghostly lantern. The residents of the town are divided on the ghost itself. Is it the spirit of a recently departed loved one? A malevolent force brought about by intemperance? Or just the groundskeeper making his nightly rounds? No one can say for sure. Nestled in the swirling mists of Pennybrook there are answers to be found about this ghost story. But also a question must be asked: What would you trade? 

Written for Call of Cthulhu, 7th edition, this scenario for 3-4 investigators is set in 1920s Maine (with notes for adjustment of time period). Four pre-generated investigators are provided, each with their own motivations to visit Pennybrook. This scenario can be played in one to two 4-6 hour sessions. 

Content warnings: violence, blood, body horror, gaslighting, mention of ghosts, possible PvP, discussions of loss of a loved one, and feelings of being trapped

Included in purchase are: the entire scenario as a single document (33 pages), four pre-generated investigators, handouts, a map of the fictional city of Pennybrook, notes for Keeper preparation, investigator creation guidance, recommended hooks for use of previous investigators, seeds for future connections to other scenarios.

Just an observation -- it appears the content warning eliminates most of the reasons any Call of Cthulhu scenario is played and enjoyed.

Did you buy it or are you just being Glib?

Its actually a pretty good scenario if you have purchased it - and if not maybe buy it and give it a go.

Hi Ed,

I always err on the side of caution with my content warnings, especially since different players may not want the same things out of a game.

Just because they're listed doesn't mean they all have to be used by a Keeper (run the game how you want!), but including them is my way of letting people know themes they'll encounter in my work. If including them up front helps someone who might be uncomfortable with a recent loss (a theme I utilized with two major NPCs) or gaslighting, a Keeper can amend and adjust accordingly if they want to run this.

My rule #1 is always that my players have fun and don't feel uncomfortable in a bad way. Me including a wide scope of potential content warnings is just my author-side use of safety tools.

As it is Call of Cthulhu, the name alone is the content warning, isn’t it?

Who plays a CoC scenario with bedrock expectations of –not- experiencing “violence, blood, body horror, gaslighting, possible PvP, discussions of loss of a loved one, and feelings of being trapped” ?

Anyway, thank you for bringing another viable scenario choice to the genre. Based on the review, it should do quite well.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
