@Kasino80 10 ай бұрын

Ran it last night. It's a great starter adventure, however I did add an extra challenge. Instead of Merriweather having the sarcophagus and book with him in the hospital (which I found a bit odd), the investigators got a small box with a very big strange key. They were told it was the key to his safe in his office in his home. Now the investigators had to charm/persuade/fast talk/intimidate the widow and son to get their way into the house, and search for the safe. It did add about 1h5 extra play time, but the challenge gave the players time to get to know their characters a lot better, and give the players who didn't know each other more bonding time before the main event.

A cool detail about the PC François (as pronounced "Franswa") is she has a specifically male-gendered name (the last syllable specifies gender). If François is her birth firstname, she was assigned a man's name at birth. (The female-gendered name Françoise would have otherwise been pronounced "Franswaz" because of the last syllable specifying gender.)

One suggestion - prep a backup character or two & don't be afraid to kill PCs. The fear of death really ads to the tension & it makes the story even more interesting.

Psst! I know it's tempting to pronounce Nyarlathotep with a "th" sound cuz so many of the others have "th" sounds... but it's supposed to sound Egyptian with the -hotep being a common Egyptian suffix, so it's probably Nyar-lat-ho-tep, not Nyar-la-tho-tep.
