About this Game:

After a violent spree of robberies, the gang is now trapped in the infamous town of Innsmouth, surrounded by federal agents. The investigators are sent in to this insular community to find and capture the gang. You could make your career during this arrest. Or you could be consumed by death and madness.

Notes from the GM:
Character creation:
Investigators are normal people living a relatively normal life, until they get caught up in investigating the darkness of our world. Your characters are more like the stars of John Carpenter's The Thing than the heroes of high fantasy. They are competent, but only human. And death and madness lie in wait.
Investigators for this scenario are not Innsmouth locals and need a reason to join a manhunt. New characters may believe in ghosts or spirits, but they may not have firsthand experience with anything supernatural.
Recommend professionals include Federal Agents or law enforcement. Alternatively, you could play a reporter, a bounty hunter, or any previous investigator from my other open plays, but you will need to convince the feds to let you enter Innsmouth.
Pregenerated characters will be provided. All are federal agents.
New characters should be created using standard character creation rules or the point-buy system. Use either the D'Hole House website or Call of Cthulhu 7th edition rule books. Use the provided links below to walk you through the process. All new characters need to be sent to me by the Sunday before to be checked and reviewed.
If you have any questions, please message Garult on Discord or post in the Call of Cthulhu channel of the Salem TTRPG Discord. Please allow up to 2 business days for a response.
