Crimson Letters: A Classic 1920's Mini Campaign

Hello, I'm Kat or Robin, whichever you prefer (he/they)! Looking for a thrilling Call of Cthulhu adventure? Join me for Crimson Letters, a 3-5 session scenario that takes place in Classic 1920's Arkham, Massachusetts! We currently have room for one more investigator.

We start our story at Arkham Massachusetts, and more specifically at Miskatonic University, where a rather strange event has just occurred. Professor Charles Leiter, a History Professor at the university, was found dead in his office. The official cause is a heart attack.

Yet, the Dean seems to be interested enough in the circumstances, or at least on a project the professor had been working on before he died, that he calls you in at the recommendation of the morgue assistant. You are all connected to an amateur university investigation club, with a bent towards the unexplained. With no one else to turn to and not wanting this to get out to the press and create a potential scandal, Dean Fallon puts you all on the case. Surely nothing can go wrong?

About The Campaign

Beginners are welcome, and I will provide music, scene setting, high-quality props, and a heavy focus on RP. The scenario leans heavily into a sandbox style of game, where it'll be up to your sleuthing to discover exactly what happened to Professor Leiter, as well as the whereabouts of some missing documents he'd been researching prior to his death. This is not a linear point A to B to C scenario. Where you go, who you talk to, and how you go about solving this case before it's too late is completely up to you!

I have made a set of nine premade investigators with background information and ties to the scenario and the other investigators involved. If you're a new player, using premade characters, especially for a short scenario, is the way to go.

About The Keeper

I have been running various games for about seven years now, including Cyberpunk Red, Blades in the Dark, Vampire the Masquerade, D&D 5e, Avatar Legends, and now Call of Cthulhu 7e. I come from a writing and amateur acting background, and my big love as a Game Master is making a realistic, breathing, and growing world for players to impact and explore. I particularly pride myself on creating a cast of dynamic NPCs to interact with, regardless of system.

While I am newer to Call of Cthulhu, I am an experienced Game Master and am excited to dive into this system with a short adventure. I value communication and mutual respect at the table, and find that listening to the group around you is key to a successful game. If any problems or concerns arise, we will talk about them like mature adults and try our best to find a solution.

I am not a voice actor, but I can do a few accents and some funny voices. Mostly, I try to vary tones, speech patterns, and other smaller aspects to make the NPCs feel unique and believable. While I cannot promise to match the level of a professional voice actor, I do my best to create an immersive and engaging world for my players. My table is always a safe space for minority communities and bigotry, despite playing in an era where it runs rampant, is not tolerated from players.
