In this exclusive, first-of-its kind original interactive game, play with your tablemates to defend your "city" from the invasion of cultists! Will you secretly be a cultist yourself, luring your city to its own destruction and inviting in Mommy Elder One? Or will you be an investigator, singing Auld Lang Syne and keeping the otherworldly evils at bay, before the New Year's Eve clock strikes midnight, in 1924?
You won't want to miss this original game from the maddened minds at Good Time Society!
The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society is proud to present its widely acclaimed and award-winning silent film of The Call of Cthulhu. A dying professor leaves his great-nephew a collection of documents pertaining to the Cthulhu Cult. Crossing decades and continents, the man begins piecing together the dread implications of the professor's inquiries.
Written in 1926, the famed story is brought richly to life in the style of a classic 1920s silent movie, with a haunting original symphonic score. Using the Mythoscope™ process — a mix of modern and vintage techniques — the HPLHS has worked to create the most authentic and faithful screen adaptation of a Lovecraft story ever attempted.
An eccentric occultist holds an auction of rare occult items on New Year’s Eve in New York. Some of the bidders may be more than what they seem - and others may yet have nefarious goals.
Can the attendees protect themselves from a diabolical plot, or will they be fodder for a lunatic and his dark god? Featuring special guests Mark Meer.
In this strictly-limited workshop, Mike and Paul will demonstrate how they build and structure adventures, while workshopping your own ideas to help you flesh out and create your very own scenario of mythos horror.
A professional actor and storyteller, Mark Meer is best known for his role as Commander Shephard (Mass Effect), Chaz in L.A. By Night, and the Keeper of Arcane Lore in Chaosium's Graveyards of Arkham.
Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime chance to play with the incomparable Mark Meer as Keeper!
