Miskatonic Monday #96: Viral goes Mithril!
Posted by Michael O'Brien on 11th Nov 2024
Congratulations to independent Call of Cthulhu creators Alex Guillotte and Bud Baird. Their modern day scenario Viral is just the second-ever Miskatonic Repository title to be a Mithral best seller at DriveThruRPG (over 2,500 paid sales)!
Viral: A Modern Call of Cthulhu Scenario
Alex Guillotte, Bud (Softcover and Hardcover, Premium Color Book, 124 pages)
Join Marco Proudfoot, host of the successful YouTube channel The Spektral Krew, as he and his fellow paranormal investigators journey to an island off the coast of Sicily to explore its very dark past. The only public information is a pixelated satellite map and a pile of redacted documents, but a little digging on the Dark Web has revealed something far more sinister. What better way to make their final push for one million subscribers than to stream their investigation live from the island! The Krew hopes to find evidence of the paranormal, but what they discover is so much more horrific than just orbs of dust and incoherent voices in the static.
Back in 2022 when Viral hit Platinum (1000 copies sold) we did a summary of reviewer and reader feedback about the scenario: "Viral Goes Viral". To sum up, Seth Skorkowsky says Viral is "A fantastic example of how to do a modern day (Call of Cthulhu) adventure right."
(The first Miskatonic Repository title to go Mithril is Paul Bimler’s Solo Investigator’s Handbook).
