Saturday is game day!
I'm taking my friends through a custom horror campaign called 'The Black Tree.' It's loosely based on Cthulhu, but with my own mythology and such. It has very few rules and is meant to be played fast. XP is earned through roleplay, so the more in character you are, the more points you earn.
At present, the players are trapped in a house where a slaughter took place many years ago and are re-experiencing the events. They have to figure out how to a) end the cycle of events that led to the slaughter b) stop the perpetrator c) and simply survive. All of them may not make it, especially since a key piece of the puzzle was smashed.
Please allow me to indulge in an evil laugh. WHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!! Thank you.
Look for the usual offering next week and enjoy your weekend (I know I will).
Cheers,
-Jason

Oh... You gave me the sweetest idea by phrasing it that way...
This part in particular: "stop the perpetrator c) and simply survive. All of them may not make it, especially since a key piece of the puzzle was smashed."
A key piece in the puzzle when re-experiencing such an event would be the death of someone. I'll have to flesh out details and settings later, but what if one of the pieces is the death of someone? Say, a player? Yes, it's a bit sadistic, but for a one-time event, or a convention or something, the big finale being the players sacrificing one of their own in a re-enactment of the murder to get out themselves...
Thanks!
Role playing? Geez no wonder you have a ninja problem; they're attracted to the peculiar rattle of 20 sided dice.
The first thing to do when dealing with Cthulu is to deflower all the virgins. Febreeze for the musty tomes helps to.
whatever they do DON'T split up looking for clues!
Glad to help, Silver ;)
Febreeze for musty tomes? Interesting. I usually just use the tears of my players :)
Oh, they split up, gunner. And then they paid for it :)
