Viral - Call of Cthulhu 7th Ed - Halloween Special

"An inefficient virus kills its host. A clever virus stays with it." - James Lovelock

"OK guys, here’s the thing. Get your passports ready because we are going to Italy baby! The Old Country! So, according to Maya, we are just one live stream away from hitting the one million sub mark. You know what that means? Better sponsorship, getting on talk shows… maybe even a TV deal! More green on the table! It’s so close I can fucking TASTE it. So here’s the plan. We fly out next week. I’ve got the gear being shipped over there PRIORITY. When we arrive in the local town, Maya has arranged for someone to get us to the island. From there we will set up and do a live broadcast right under the dumb noses of the Eye-talian Navy. They’ll never even know we were there." - Marco Proudfoot, lead investigator for Spektral Krew.

Viral is a scenario for Call of Cthulhu 7th Ed. set in the Modern Era. Producers of a popular ghost hunting YouTube channel called Spektral Krew are planning to illegally visit Isola di Malamente, an island off the Italian coast, to broadcast live as they attempt to uncover evidence of a genuine haunting and thus become Internet sensations.

Please come online early or on time, as we will have a limited time to play. I will have Pre-Generated Characters prepared for play. We should be done by 11:30pm. Call of Cthulhu uses a 2 d10 percent based system along with the "basic set" of dice used for RPGs (d20, d10, d8, d6, and d4). This game will be held online on the groups Discord Server via Voice Chat. We have a bot in the Server that can handle Dice rolls but Live rolling is allowed.

A heads up as to how I run games. I go for full horror. What that means, is slow moments of tension followed by moments of high terror. A roller coaster, if you will. Humor has its place at the table as long as it is within the game narrative. Please keep outside humor to a minimum as it distracts from the game. I also tend to focus on ROLEplay over ROLLplay. I have run games where dice rolls have been in the single digits. I am also flexible with the rules, which the main hard rule being If you roll equal or lower then your skill, you succeed and if higher, you fail. Everything else is up to me. No Rules Lawyers Please. Also Progression is not prominent in my games and this is because characters tend not to last too long. If your character survives 3 to 4 adventures, they will be a bit improved but your attachment to the character will be more based on the experiences he/she went through. Its about your STORY not your STATS. If none of this seems to be a match for your mentality, I would suggest trying another game, but if you are willing to give this play style a chance, feel free to attend.

Any questions or concerns? Feel Free to ask in the comments.
