Message: <blockquote data-quote="Henry" data-source="post: 1185314" data-attributes="member: 158">I recently recommended this one for a one-shot, though the person never got to use it:<a href="http://montecook.com/mjcook_CoC_infest.html" target="_blank">http://montecook.com/mjcook_CoC_infest.html</a>Great intro adventure of 4 hours or less duration, and very creepy.If you are looking for inspiration on HP lovecraft, I recommend his two stories "The Call of Cthulhu" and "The Dunwich Horror"<a href="http://www.gizmology.net/lovecraft/works/" target="_blank">http://www.gizmology.net/lovecraft/works/</a>Please note the "Dunwich Horror" mp3 radio broadcast from 1945 on this page.If you've purchased the Call of Cthulhu d20 game, the DM section contains invaluable information on the creation of proper atmosphere. I advise you to begin there, and the web sites I pointed out. It's more "mystery Horror" and "hopeless Horror" than it is "slasher horror."However, I am about to recommend something that may be a bit of d20 Heresy:The BRP version of Call of Cthulhu (the original, from Chaosium) is better for Horror One-shots in my opinion. Its ruleset is geared toward VERY normal men and women who face something out of their league; you have very little power in the way of defense against the mythos creatures, and you start out as good as you will EVER be. I daresay the original also contains even better information on running lovecraft horror than the d20 version does.It is still available through Chaosium and through most RPG shops, and costs about the same as the d20 Book. Both systems are well worth purchase, but the Original version contains a greater wealth of source material.</blockquote>
