Hello, friends! I am fairly new to dungeoneering, but I'm really excited to share this campaign of mine, which has been tested successfully on 2 IRL groups, as I prepare it for larger distribution! Both of the past groups have consisted of beginner players, so I'm hoping to bring in at least 1 experienced player this time - though I am perfectly happy to intro brand new players to the game system. The campaign, an original 3-act, 7-10 hour mystery entitled THE TINKER AND THE TERROR, will introduce players to the enigmatic inventor Arcturus Fletcher, a rising superstar in 1923 Boston. Fletcher's stunning, controversial advancements in bio-engineering have mesmerized audiences as he toured the country for the past year, giving travelling demonstrations rather like those of Nikolai Tesla. This consummate showman has returned to his hometown for the culmination of his tour, and YOU have secured a generously cheap ticket for this sold-out performance. Investigators will be quick to realize, though, that the inventor's bizarre persona is worth far more than a "one night only" engagement, and will abruptly find themselves wrapped up in a deadly game of cosmic chess. There are many layers of conspiracy and phantasmagoria to uncover, and players should expect to encounter heinous death-cults both ancient and modern, otherworldly and mind-warping technology, and horrors simultaneously nameless in their monstrosity and disquieting in their humanity. I've worked up a rich cast of characters, some very exciting action scenarios, and some nicely modular points of interaction and decision-making. While some may find this adventure more densely plotted than traditional CoC campaigns, you may also find that your choices are wide open at many critical turning points, and your roleplaying will hold great sway in the outcome of events. (It's got a maps, character portraits, and a soundtrack too! Although I'm pretty sure I'll need a new one if I can't get my Youtube playlist to run through roll20...) So yeah, looking for 3 players of any experience level! I can help with character generation or supply pre-gens if needed, although I always prefer to iron out some crucial character details with the players so we're on the same page with what your character wants, fears, loves, etc. My schedule is fairly open, so I'll be waiting to hear from players re: timing this out. Please bring on the questions if you have them! Hoping to start guiding you through this harrowing tale starting in the next week.
