This week Marqui will play Call of Cthulhu!

Marqui has been running Call of Cthulhu for 4 years and will be introducing the game to the players of the Queer Arcana Homebase! The Call of Cthulhu TTRPG is a roleplaying game set in a version of “our world”, a mystery horror universe playing with themes of cosmic horrors, with stories ranging from themes from Indiana Jones to that jazzy noir vibe from old detective movies. It’s all about the suspense as the players, who are ordinary people and no heroes, uncover cosmic horrors and face the limits of their sanity.

 

About this one-shot: The Séance

In the shadowed corridors of a bustling city, an enigmatic church casts an eerie shadow over an apartment complex. Two weeks ago, a mysterious event unfolded within the sanctuary’s walls, leaving a group of its congregation in a collective coma and the local authorities have been baffled, unable to unearth any leads to this event. The worst part? Your best friend’s girlfriend attended that congregation now remains in an unshakable slumber. With a growing obsession for answers, she propose a risky and unorthodox solution: a séance to communicate with the spirits of the afflicted, hoping that the otherworldly may hold the key to solving the crime and find a cure. With your own motivations and driven to help your friend, you agree to participate in that séance.

Content warnings: horror and gore (dead people and body fluids)

They’re driven by a thirst for knowledge and seek to unravel the mysteries behind the comatose church members.
