Looking to run a one-shot Call of Cthulhu game next Wednesday at 9:30 EST (would prefer 9, but I'm not sure I'll be home in time). The scenario will be "Amidst the Ancient Trees" from the Keeper's Rulebook. Here's what the rulebook has to say about the scenario: "The daughter of a local industrialist has been kidnapped. The ransom payoff went horribly wrong, ending in a gunfight on the edge of the Green Mountain National Forest. The kidnappers have escaped the scene with both the girl and the ransom money, and fled back into the forest. The investigators must rescue the girl, hunt the criminals down, and bring them to justice. However, there’s more to be discovered in the forest than anyone ever guessed… Amidst the Ancient Trees takes place in the summer of 1925 in Southwest Vermont. The investigators are in Bennington, Vermont and sign-up to join the search party for the criminals and the kidnapped girl. The scenario assumes that players will create investigators specifically for this adventure and includes suggestions for getting the investigators involved. This scenario emphasizes action over investigation. However, there are opportunities for investigations to take place at the beginning of the adventure. The most useful skills will be Tracking, Spot Hidden, Listen, Stealth, Fighting, and Firearms. While the period would suggest that male investigators would join the search posse, there is no reason why female characters cannot do so." Since it is a one-shot, and I don't expect everyone to have the core rules, you may use the free Quick Start rules to create your character. You can find the Quick Start rules here: <a href="http://www.chaosium.com/call-of-cthulhu-7th-edition-quick-start-rules-pdf/" rel="nofollow">http://www.chaosium.com/call-of-cthulhu-7th-edition-quick-start-rules-pdf/</a> Post in this thread or send me a PM if you are interested.
