Cthulhu Curious? - Chaosium Plays 'The Necropolis' for 24 hours on Roll20 for Halloween
Posted by Michael O'Brien on 20th Oct 2021
As part of the 40th anniversary celebrations for the Call of Cthulhu Roleplaying Game, we're running free two hour games on Roll20 for 24 hours over the Friday and Saturday of the Halloween Weekend (October 29-30).
If you or your friends have never played Call of Cthulhu but are Cthulhu curious, here's your chance!
The Keepers (Gamemasters/Dungeonmasters) for this event are part of our Cult of Chaos organised play program. 'The Necropolis' is one of the scenarios in our Call of Cthulhu release Gateways to Terror.
The Necropolis
What ancient horrors lie slumbering in a newly discovered tomb deep in Egypt's Valley of the Kings? Are you allowing local superstitions and the unfortunate events surrounding the opening of Tutankhamen's tomb to play on your mind as you wait to step down into the darkness…
The Necropolis is a one-shot introductory scenario designed as a demonstration game to give a taste of the game's core motifs—mystery, investigation, and horror. It's ideal for newcomers to Call of Cthulhu or even tabletop RPGs in general, and we'll supply everything needed, including pregen characters. No experience needed!
We have two hour sessions running from 10pm GMT on Friday October 29 through to 10pm GMT on Saturday 30th. This is a world-wide event, so those times correspond to:
- BST – 11:00PM 29th - 11:00PM 30th
- PDT – 3:00pm 29th - 3:00pm 30th
- EDT – 6:00pm 29th - 6:00pm 30th
- AEDT – 9:00am 30th - 9:00am 31st
Book your session on Warhorn – it's completely FREE!
