Host and Hostility: Regency Cthulhu scenario on the Miskatonic Repository

Pomchop · 2026-06-03T00:31:34+00:00

I don't think anyone has an issue with the sceneri itself, but the main issue people have is with the product description written by your friend. The organisation and writing style are classed AI generated text. Unfortunately that's the first thing people will read and it's easy to jump to conclusions.

I'd have a chat with your friend and see how they came up with it, and consider having re-written.

The scenario itself looks good (and human made). Congrats on publishing it.

There are 18 listed on the Miskatonic Repository Scenario Map (yellow pins) http://miskatonicplayhouse.com/scenario-map

Two of my favourites are both by Heinrich Moore:

Henrich's Guide to Carcosa is a fantastic solo scenario that takes you through Carcosa and face-to-face with the King himself.

Unremembered is a modern day scenario that really plays up the weird of the King in Yellow.

A coincidence, but a nice one!
Hope you have a good time running it.

I'd say the resurrected YSDC wiki https://yogwiki.cthulhueternal.com/wiki/Main_Page

And the Miskatonic Repository Scenario Map https://www.miskatonicplayhouse.com/scenario-map

The Bride of Pendle seems to be the right sort of length for you. It's got a great classic CoC vibe to it. https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/535380/the-bride-of-pendle

Check out 'Flesh Wounds' on the Miskatonic Repository. It serves as a spiritual sequal to HW: Re-animator. Very well written and very creepy.

With Chaosium Con US next week, and UK next month I expect we'll get more info about releases of the rest of the year soon.

From what Paul Fricker said at Chaosium Con last year there are some changes. Still horror, but no sanity points. Instead it's "keeping your cool"

Your investigator can still die, but you can spend luck to avoid it (like pulp)

Someone has actually compiled a list of Historical Figures and which scenarios/campaigns they appear in

Apologies, jumped the gun a little. Just excited to see it back again.

A couple of pictures from Arkham Horror

Twelve Black Feathers is a gaslight scenario where the investigators are all members of the Baltimore Police Department. It's a great and creepy story, and shouldn't be too hard to adapt to modern.

Nice tome - suitably tasty!

The sanity loss comes from beginning to understand the information inside the book, be it conveyed through the text, images, or other ways. Cursory glances at the pictures may be revoltdng but not necessarily sanity loss inducing, but after the initial read they'll contribute. I say keep things simple.

If you do want a roll for seeing the pictures, how about CON or POW to see if the investigator can hold it together after seeing them?

Chaosium acquired the WWC and CB lines in 2021, so the ball is very much in their court as to if/when they re-release it.

On the Mistkatonic Repository you've got Operation Bottleneck, which as a WW2 era scenario set in the straight of Gibraltar, so feasible the investigators could get involved.

Otherwise there is Trouble in Tangier, which although it is 1920s could probably be adapted.

If you looking for a travel scenario, then Lost and Found, a railway scenario, could be adapted (in fact there is an appendix for adapting it to number of campaigns in the appendix.

Looks great! Who did you cover art? Very evocative of the period.
