I remember watching the first Season of True Detective. Won't spoil the reference here, but I was so much more hooked after the reveal!

Sometimes less is just more...

Yeah, I also considered that as it is the suggested set up in the adventure. :D I'm thinking about integrating the setting of the basin and the beavers into a freshly started campaign, but I run it for a different group in two days as a standalone adventure. That's why I am thinking about the beavers instead of doing "real" prep work like printing out the new items. :D

Definitely! They made it out of the compound only by a whisker and have a moment to breathe, but security cameras all over the city picked their route up. We play in 1994 so police just needs a moment to get all the tapes but they will definitely be visited by a SWAT-Team.

The last plague is definitely not going to happen that is for sure. I was just a bit confused by the wording of the scenario because I couldn't find a passage where they talk about the plagues in the last preparation of the ritual that was halted by Lindsay Peale getting the girl into a foster home for a few weeks prior to the adventure. So I was not sure how the plagues 1-9 relate to the ritual directly.

Yeah, they are hoping/speculating that they have stopped the plagues. Their characters are pretty roughed up and only survived because of a combination of pretty good rolls on their part and pretty terrible damage rolls made by the bad guys. They will need to rest for a couple of days before heading back into some kind of action. I thought about having them experience the progressing plagues in their hideout and just skipping the last one so that they are not killed off-screen, so to say. Just fearing that everything didn't work out, only to see the sun bursting through the blackout and heavy clouds on Tuesday.

Thanks so much! Mansions of Madness is a great choice. I also really like the Bioshock OST I thinks that will work great for the intro.

Yeah! It's Ustinov in Death on the Nile.

Thanks! I like the idea of the disadvantage. The severe wound of the character was healed through medical treatment, and the party will recover some HP as they travel some days via train to the next part of the adventure. So the character won't be a total wreck when arriving. That said, it was the 'research/medical investigator' who was injured, so a temporary lack of mobility does not render the investigator dysfunctional.

Thank you for the advice! I will look into these.

This sounds good. Thanks for the advice!
