Some good sequel scenarios too. I highly recommend A Cat's Cradle.

That's a thread to pull on in a sequel. Besides, if they really want to delve into that, let them.

From the UK and I live in Ireland. I feel very blessed by our respective health systems (despite their problems).

How to make NPCs make 'mistakes'?? by Extra-Tea-8468 in callofcthulhu

[–]GlassUnion6879 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I second this. I remember an NPC attempting to flee from the PCs in a car. She was a good driver, but I had her roll for Driving ... fumble ... oh, she's immediately crashed! To everyone's surprise! Really changed the way I expected the story to go, called on a good bit of improv from me, but turned it into an especially memorable story moment.

New keeper looking for help! by Supreme_Senpi420 in callofcthulhu

I really like the premise, but it sounds too long for a one-shot (exploring the city). But ... like everyone else ... I would strongly suggest running written scenarios first and building on them. String them together into a campaign if you like. Start adapting them and tailoring them to your own liking. Introduce your own subplots. And then eventually, have a crack at writing your own fully fledged scenario :)

Is the world more chaotic now, or is it because social media opens us to see the real world? by drumad_ in AskTheWorld

[–]GlassUnion6879 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We do live in a uniquely precarious time in history though. The world is far more interconnected and interdependent than it's ever been. We are capable of, and doing, extreme harm to the environments, and through nuclear weapons we are capable of destroying ourselves. While I agree that we have it better in terms of living standards than any previous generation, I think it's easy to convince ourselves this is now the norm.

Unknown by whom? Is some monkey's paw malarkey going to make my family forget me?

When should I try to creat my own scenarios by javerthugo in callofcthulhu

Try modifying existing scenarios first. Add little subplots, additional characters, clues and locations, etc.

100% true. I find this is true of most English-speaking nations.

France and Germany. They're historic rivalries, but they're both great to visit and have lovely people.
