[QUOTE="cybernetic, post: 129367, member: 1542"] I've recently become enmeshed in Call of Cthulhu...previously I hadn't really known much about it and throughout all the hype for CoCd20 I was drawn into the Mythos and the works of H.P. Lovecraft...a trully brilliant mind....anywayz....Just wanted to start a topic for everyone to share how they set the mood for their Cthulhu games....and how other scare their players...... Myself, I run CoC games only at night now..close the curtains...play in the lowest spot in my house (which is kinda like a den that is half underground and half above...) We use flashlights for light....and I have another flashlight that has a red lense for special occasions...i occasionally like to call for lights out for dramatic and role playing reasons... :p To help the atmosphere...I tend to use Plastikman (aka Ritchie Hawkin)....it very ambient techno that kind fits any situation...it kinda has an eerie effect in the dark when played softly....(I'm also working on making some original back ground music as well...considering I am pretty good on the music ends of things..) Other little things are dramatic pauses...and pointless die rolls....looking off into the dark behind a player briefly while speaking to them.... what does everyone else like to do scare and/or set the mood for their Cthulhu games??
