ONLINE Pulp Cthulhu: Two-Headed Serpent- a Queer Campaign!
The Two-Headed Serpent is an action-packed, globe spanning pulp campaign set in the 1930s for Pulp Cthulhu. The heroes face the sinister conspiracies of an ancient race of monsters hell-bent on taking back a world that was once theirs. Working for Caduceus, a medical aid organization the heroes find themselves in the middle of Bolivia's war torn jungles , trying to deliver supplies to aid camp. The world needs heroes, now more than ever!
***If you like the flavour of Indiana Jones and the Mummy Films, you will like this campaign.***
Campaign Notes:
I hope to run the entire campaign over the next 6 - 9 months.
To do that I will be using the same pre-generated characters so the story line can move from session to session smoothly and so Players don't need to commit for the entire campaign, but can come and try it out.
Calgary Folks: I am running the same campaign in-person as a part of our monthly Dickens Pub Gamer Sundays. Watch for those event listings every month.

Pulp Cthulhu is an expansion of the Call of Cthulhu 7E Rule set.
The FREE quickstart rules are here:

Call of Cthulhu has always been about Investigators, normal people who get drawn into the mysteries of the Cthulhu Mythos and attempt to contain, banish, or destroy its horrors. The usual course of a game is to find clues and determine a way to deal with the threat. This seldom involves combat. Indeed, more crucial to a character than Hit Points are Sanity Points, a trait rated on a scale of 0 to 00 with higher being better. As you encounter the horrors of the Mythos, you are at risk of losing Sanity. Lose enough, you go temporarily insane. Lose it all, and your character is mad forever.
