About the Adventure

Please message GM prior to registration.

Having survived the ancient horrors of Peru, the investigators uncover apocalyptic schemes they must prevent.

Come live the Cthulhu Mythos. Don’t know what that is…well, its horrifying. Its 1920s style pulp investigation. Think Indiana Jones meets really horrible monsters. Try and solve mysteries without dying or losing your mind, and you’ll hopefully make some new friends as well!

Don’t worry, if you’ve never played anything but D&D, or never played and RPG at all, we’ve got you covered.

…………………..

Wait, how does this compare to D&D? Cthulhu is an RPG, a collaborative story, similar in general style to D&D. It is a different system (different rules…which we’ll teach you). This system focuses on investigating the horrific and dark mysteries of HP Lovecraft’s dark vision and mythos. Its set in the early 1900s, so think Indiana Jones meets National Treasure…but everything is much darker.

…………….

New player? We’d love to have you join us. Most folks will be new to this system. But if you like this type of story, we want you here. We’ll help you figure out all the rules. The goal is to meet new people, play some RPGs, and have a great time.

Adventure overview:

The year is 1925, in the real world. Only some things are different.

There are rumors…in New York, Cairo, Shanghai, of mysterious cults and an unexplained darkness. In its wake only death.

You are a classic investigator, possibly a scholarly professor, a tomb raiding adventurer, detective, reporter, scientists, explorer, or even a preacher looking for something more.

You will find something here, but the question is are you ready for it?

Amazing DM!

April 19, 2024

This was my first time playing a full campaign and EJ made it amazingly fun! There were so many things that I wanted to do with my character and EJ was always open to it or found ways to make it even more interesting! He’s very easy to talk to if you have any sort of questions and I always appreciated how comfortable he made the sessions feel! Our campaign lasted for over a year but it never felt boring and there was always something new or interesting happening! EJ also creates such lasting and impactful moments between characters with his wonderful descriptions and narrations. I am so grateful to have been able to play with him and can’t recommend him enough to others!

Great Fun!

March 28, 2024

EJ made my first experience playing with RPG Club welcoming, comfortable and enjoyable. Our mini-campaign was full of adventure, zany characters and had lots of room for exploration and roleplay, balanced with plenty of support for new players as a learn-to-play module. Would highly recommend him for beginning and experienced players, alike. Thanks, EJ! Hope to play with you again, soon!

A Pleasure to Watch a Master at Work

February 22, 2024

I had the pleasure of finally getting to join one of EJ’s games last night, and even though I didnt know much about a system that I had barely heard of, all we needed to bring was ourselves and to be ready to relive our lives as curious Kids.

EJ took the time to include every player, ensured we knew a lot about our little band of player Kids, and guided us along a masterful and cute little adventure as we discovered something amiss while we lived our best lives being Kids, siblings, besties and enjoyed each other’s company.

EJ is a wonderful GM. Patient, very engaging. Listens and always happy to help or clarify a rule or situation as we inevitably stumbled into trouble. It was a joy to play, and the time still flew by even as we overran (and he graciously let the one shot play out and not rush us to any finish).

I have been wanting to join a game of EJ’s for a while and it did not disappoint. Time zone differences mean it may not happen too often but I will definitely do my best to keep an eye out. Shout out to my fellow Kids (Lauren, Bethany, Dustin) as we all had a blast (and bought way too much ice cream, worms and crackers lol)

A pleasure to play with!

February 20, 2024

I started playing with EJ after signing up for Call of Cthulhu. It was my first time playing that system & I have had an absolute blast. EJ is great to collaborate with at the table, he really has his finger on the pulse for what players what & he delivers that for them. Some of my favorite people to play D&D with are connections I’ve made at EJs tables. I really wanted to play a few mini D&D campaigns so I could try out new character ideas & EJ made it happen. I had an absolute blast playing them & look forward to more of them in the future. If you want a collaborative GM who will make sure you have a great time play with EJ!

Seemless Storytelling

February 18, 2024

Such a blast and it was so insightful to watch a professional GM at work. You hold the story so well in your head that I could actively see you rolling with the clues we decide to follow and help us fill in gaps through NPC dialogue.

As a GM, myself, sometimes I get way too in my head about things having a linear path and it was a master class watching you work and effortlessly weave player decisions with the story.

And as a person who takes timing very seriously, I love how we were all aware that the time was closing in and ending on a good spot to pause for next session.

The fluidity of your scenes and weaving them with players has helped inform my own GMing so much.
