First off, convention scenarios we've run at Gen Con before and will be running again this year, in #ThrowbackThursday:

CALL OF CTHULHU

Lightless Beacon

Investigators play the role of maritime professionals in varying fields venturing to a malfunctioned lighthouse stationed upon the small isolated Beacon Island north of Folly Point Town. All is not what it seems. Strange gold pieces are uncovered at the scene as well as the mutilated body of the live-in worker and the bullet ridden remains of bizarre amphibious fish like creatures. Shortly after arriving, investigators are attacked. Will they survive to tell the tale of their findings or succumb to a threat which rises from the rough stormy waters?
