The Night Mother's Moon - A Modern Era Scenario for Call of Cthulhu
par Dustin [Acheteur vérifié] Date Ajoutée: 12/23/2023 17:00:20

Another great game by Stygian Fox! This game was the first Call of Cthulhu game I ran for my consistent group. First thing first, this is actually a fairly easy scenario to run, and because of this, the scenario allows for easy-to-learn play. It is on par with Edge of Darkness found in the Starter Set scenario. I can honestly see myself using this scenario at local conventions cause of ease of use and the combination of multiple Call of Cthulhu mechanics to help players fully explore the system. Below is what to expect if you pick up this game:

Options for light sandbox, where players get to explore an area of Manhattan and gather information. Plenty of information gets the story moving but plenty of opportunity for the gamemaster to add their own flairs or change details here or there. For example, I ran my game as a Holiday special and shifted everything into December.

The game explores multiple aspects of classic CoC Scenarios: information gathering, unnatural creatures, opportunities for conflict, and chases. Wonderful set pieces along with a unique premise for the Investigators that I haven’t really seen before and it's written very tastefully.

In all pick this one up, give it a good read, and run it for those uninitiated players or for those Veterans who need something different. In either case you are bound to have fun!

The only thing I wish this scenario had was pre-generated characters who might have prebuilt contacts in the scenario itself but I ultimately just found some interesting modern characters and removed there Credit Ratings to make it work.

The Dark Forest - A Call of Cthulhu Scenario Set in the Modern Day
par Ly W. [Acheteur vérifié] Date Ajoutée: 12/19/2023 22:40:27

Why not call the police?

I find it difficult to answer when my players ask this question in a modern CoC game. This scenario does not help me on that, especially with the kids involved. Just as an example, I really appreciate how Ladybug Fly Away Home helps the keeper there.

Of course a keeper can always run it as DG, but I happen to be one who do not enjoy DG, not at all, and I'm really looking for something modern and CoC. This scenario has a very 1920 structure very similar to Let the Children Come to Me. Unfortunately I don't feel the modern part.

The art is great, and the mythos connection is worth the 3 stars. The actual plot and the structure is not as fun.

I don't see anything you cannot get from the FSLN (only ran Phlebotomy yet).

We Have Been, We Are, We Will Be

Not really the optimal setting. Use it only if you absolutely want to run TTWLB as a campaign...

Aspirations - A Modern Day Call of Cthulhu Supplement for Fear's Sharp Little Needles
par Ly [Acheteur vérifié] Date Ajoutée: 11/23/2023 22:15:09

My group loved two scenarios in this book, i.e., the first two.

All for a Good Cause: 4 stars. It can be used as the last scenario of a campaign if you choose to run this book as a campaign. Very interesting design structurally. The details and mythos background provided were not enough though.

The BlackThorns: 5 stars. Twisted one-shot. It's enjoyable, with enough complexity, yet easy to handle for the keeper. Some may find the children-related plot uncomfortable. There's a replay run by the author Jeff Moeller himself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXW0xCO-omo&list=PLJQ7JbI3-ZhIIChikRtd15a7V-p1uyNKW

The Lumber Barons' Ball: 4 stars. Kind of fun to see how a certain classic paradigm is adapted into the modern age, beautifully. The players might not feel as good for it though. They have very limited degrees of freedom in this scenario.

Other scenarios and settings introduced in this book are just bad, mundane, and boring.

I love this scenario, such a great dark story to share with my players. every group I have brought this to has had a fantastic time with it. my only gripe is that I wish there was a printer friendly version of the PDF.

Fear's Sharp Little Needles - 26 Modern Day Call of Cthulhu Scenarios
par Stefan F. [Acheteur vérifié] Date Ajoutée: 07/20/2023 15:16:13

https://stygian-muse.com/book-of-the-week-fears-sharp-little-needles/ Stygian Fox make great stuff, and FSLN is no exception. 26 short scenarios covering a myriad of themes, ready to go at a moment's notice. What's more, the themes tend toward psychological horror and human failings, and this gives the scenarios a distinct quality that sets them apart from the usual fare. This means that they can be used very well as a contrast to longer scenarios or campaigns to change things up a little, but a keeper could also easily string a number of them together to create a mini-campaign, and in fact advice is given to this effect. This is probably my favourite CoC resource.

The Night Mother's Moon - A Modern Era Scenario for Call of Cthulhu
par Jeff J. [Acheteur vérifié] Date Ajoutée: 03/13/2023 05:01:29

Alright, I don't play Call of Cthulhu, but I was looking for an awesome modern day paranormal adventure. And I found it here.

The twist of playing the homeless is an interesting one. The investigation feels like it would work well and get the investigators to all the right places.

I feel the abandoned subway station could have been described a little differently to better indicate that the trains still pass through. (I was really imagining it differently than the map shows.) And I feel like the dominated occupents in the apartment building could have been handled differently. It doesn't say when the nightmother dominated them. So it feels like they have been dominated for sometime. Which implies that none of them have went to work for a month and somehow haven't been missed. I think it would make more sense to have the nightmother already affecting them subtlely until she notices that the heroes are coming. Then she takes full control and in the process black flame errupts from their eyes buring them out. Or to have the nightmother to have whispered temptations to people that she met and didn't kill during her time manifested. These people are now considered missing by the police. And they are here in a daze, effectively waiting for the Nightmother to manifest and kill them.

While I feel those two points could have been done a bit differently for clarity, on the whole it feels to me like a solid urban adventure. I recommend people pick it up and give it a read through.

Nakuko - A 1990's Scenario for Call of Cthulhu, Set in Japan
par Jeff J. [Acheteur vérifié] Date Ajoutée: 03/13/2023 04:26:43

I mostly enjoyed reading this. I would love to see it ran for a group of Japanese players.

I feel like it is important to note that this scenerio comes with recommended characters. The scenerio is written to be related to those specific characters. So if your players are bringing their own, understand that you may have to make some adjustments. These adjustments will be easiest if there is a female character among the investigators.

There were, however, two things that negatively affected my review. The first is that there appears to be an entire page missing. The sentence that starts page 12 is obviously not the end of the sentence that trails off on page 11. There was also a simple grammar error that slipped through and was a bit jarring. I'm actually surprised that Stygian Fox hasn't updated this product to fix the missing page, at least in the digital form. (or either linked to an errata or added an errata to the digital file.)

Under A Winter's Snow - A Classic-Era Call of Cthulhu Scenario
par David G. [Acheteur vérifié] Date Ajoutée: 12/30/2022 15:58:06

I agree with another reviewer here that this game needs a bit of Keeper prep rather than feeling entirely complete out of the box. I made a few handouts that I think should have been included.

That said, the material as written contains great atmosphere, interesting problems, sinister characters, and a sense of urgency. My group made a memorable night of it.
