Mie rpg group: Spawn of Azathoth
Posted: Sat Jan 21, 2012 1:08 pm
Next Friday 27th Jan, a new campaign for Call of Cthulhu will begin proper, Spawn of Azathoth, Herald Of the end of time.
Probably will run for the best part of 9 to a dozen sessions. It will be on a monthly basis due to family commitments and time available. It won't run in May as baby is due. Sometimes fortnightly if we are lucky and a full day sometime in Summer vacation.
Friday evenings from 8pm until midnight is a usual meeting at Moyashimaru's or my house.
The campaign will have two regular player characters but will be open to one off characters if monthly is too much of a commitment players can turn up as a cameo when they have time.
The campaign is really based around Lovecraft's experience of night terrors and writings drawn from the world of sleep and dreams. It looks to be very out there. Players will need to roll a character that has some experience of dream psychology or hypnosis and has studied or is studying at Brown University, Providence.
Here's the bumper.
(SPOILERS, but only a little)
I have seen the dark Universe yawning
Where the black planets roll without aim
Where they roll in their horror unheeded
Without knowledge or luster or name.
Astronomers have theorized that our sun is not alone in it's journey around the galaxy, but is accompanied by an unknown second star of dim radiance. The second star, while perhaps invisible from Earth even with the finest optics, would periodically pass close enough to our solar system to have far reaching effects upon the evolution of this planet.
Lured across the United States, overseas to the Andaman Islands and to the interior of Tibet, and to places even further beyond. Gradually they come to understand the dread fate toward which the Earth hurtles, a fate which only they can avert.
Game Era: 1927.
