The investigators attend an exclusive glass sculpture exhibit held inside a conservatory. Little do they realize what horrors await them. This Modern-Era adventure is designed for both the Call of Cthulhu and Trail of Cthulhu roleplaying games. Here are my criticisms, tips, and Game Master suggestions (as well as some stupid jokes).

Also the words animal and life are very similar: Haya- animal Hayim- life The H needs be pronounced with the back of the throat sound If this would inspire Seth's writing in any way I'd be extremely glad 😁

The magical glass thing reminds be if this short story I read in highschool. It's about a boy who looks through the different colored shards of glass of a window he broke and when looking through them he sees one of his grandmother's tenets (she's running a boarding house) as some kind of vampiric monster. So he sneaks into the guys room while he's taking a nap and cuts him open and pulls out all of his weird vampire organs. It's left kinda ambiguous whether or not the guy was actually a monster or whether the kid was just a little psycho. Super lovecraftian through.

I might plug my writing in a vid every few months, but not every video. Instead, I'll place one behind me, put some links and brief book pitches in the video description, and give the content that people came to see.

If you want to look up a neat type of glass that's sort of like what's being described in this module, check out Vaseline glass, also known as "uranium glass" or "radium glass". Its standard name comes from the yellow color of the glass in normal light, and the others because part of the process of their creation involved mixing small amounts of uranium dioxide in with the glass. When exposed to an ultraviolet light, the glass' radioactive particles will start to glow a bright, neon green color. Vaseline glass was originally made in the 1920's, but production stopped in the mid-1940's after the U.S government confiscated all uranium for the war effort. They tried bringing it back in 1958, but the now much higher cost of uranium made it impractical. In fact the way they describe the glass being made and the way it's said to glow under its own light makes me wonder if the module writers weren't inspired by Vaseline glass when they wrote it.

Architectural comment: Don't really see an obvious sprinkler room, FDC, or mechanical room somewhere on that plan. Something like that would require some big mechanical stuff to maintain two separate biomes. It'd all be kludged on, though, considering 100 years. Also would be tempting to create this whole huge fire hazard of the scenario as hot molten glass guys just barge after the PCs and ignore the plants they're setting on fire, but that might be too much.

@SSkorkowsky 2 жыл бұрын

Depends mostly on the adventure itself. But first, make the villains into a Pulp Villains (boosted HP, Special Abilities, Luck spends, etc.) increase the number of threats (more mook cultists, add an appropriate new monster or badguys where they fit) such as "Now the old house has a guardian the badguy summoned to protect this place". Many of the older CoC scenarios or the now-discontinued-but-not-impossible-to-find Goodman Games 'Age of Cthulhu' adventures can be converted super easy, as they were already a little too tough for a regular group. I've converted a good number of CoC modules for Pulp, and most still feel exactly like a CoC adventure with some appropriate threat increase to make up for the PC's upped HP and abilities. Some I might add more pulpy elements like weird science, but only when it makes sense and doesn't feel forced in.

@@craftsmenMC The 1920s have some other possibilities to consider. People were more likely to carry mirrors and watches without cell cameras to check their looks or the time, monocles were still in style and almost all eyeglasses were actually glass rather than today's plastics. Small medicine bottles would also be glass rather than plastic, and while serious drinkers would usually have metal hip flasks flat glass bottles weren't unheard of either. Different world in a lot of small ways without access to cheap plastics everywhere.

I am sure that sprinkler heads do work in unison. If on goes several in the loop will go. it is from the loss of pressure. The glass bulbs are al held in place by the kinetic water pressure. As soon as one goes and the water starts to flow; the pressure in the others is low enough for those to drop out. I have actually witnesses it (not exactly first hand). At a place I was working and repairmen knocked the bulb out of one sprinkler but every sprinkler in the room started soaking the room.

I wonder if it’d be fun to have it where some of the plants aren’t quite what Tissely mentioned in his notebooks, like same genus, different species kinda thing. So you can make it a skill challenge to get the right plant species, but failure just means that the spell you cast later might have additional unintended effects.
