So, I'm running monthly d20 games at Pandemonium, in Harvard Square. A week from tomorrow, at 6pm on Wednesday Jan 29th, Mearls and I are going to run one of my favorite CoC adventures converted over to d20. Wanna come play? We'd love to have you!
Art for Art's Sake (by Robert Hobart):
The year is 1969, and the cutting-edge California artist Michael Tey has invited you to a party at his Los Angeles mansion. You're an artist yourself, and Tey's works are famous for being a little bit... disturbing. It's a shame that a violent thunderstorm is dampening the festive atmosphere. In a game where going insane is half the fun, a simple party can hardly be dangerous. Can it?
Of course it can.
A cinematic-style adventure for six people, first come first served. Characters provided, no rules knowledge needed. For those unfamiliar with the game, Call of Cthulhu is a horror game based originally on the works of H.P. Lovecraft. In a game like D&D, the characters are heroes who may face down dragons while armed with magical swords; in Call of Cthulhu, the characters are normal investigators who may face down sanity-shattering horrors armed while only with a frying pan. Nevertheless, it uses the familiar d20 rules, so the learning curve is negligible.
This is the same game I ran for a bunch of EN Worlders (including Nemmerle and Dinkeldog) at GenCon, and it rocks.
If you want to come join us, that's be great! Please email jason@pandemoniumbooks.com to sign up, and cc me (or post in this thread) so I know to expect you. Thanks!
