[QUOTE="Imaculata, post: 8169385, member: 6801286"] I have to admit I do love some of the Call of Cthulhu adventures that come with the core rule book. I've never ran any of them, but for the purpose of understanding the structure of a CoC adventure, they are a great help. They help the DM understand how to sprinkle clues around, and slowly escalate the horror. Running a CoC adventure is very different from running a D&D adventure, even if you use similar rules. There are just a lot less locations, and more characters and details. And not to forget handouts! Plus a timeline of day to day events can be very important. Without an example adventure, I might not have known where to start. One of the sample adventures in D20 Cthulhu took place at a movie theater. Just one theater. But the adventure was very detailed in all the goings on, and what every room looked like. It also had a nice list of whammies; little jumpscares that the DM could just drop in at any time to keep things exciting. That made me think different about writing adventures in general. [/QUOTE]
