Dark Swamp - Charity Game with Paul Fricker

Title: Dark Swamp
System: Call of Cthulhu (no experience required)
Keeper: Paul Fricker

Paul Fricker invites you to join him for a Call of Cthulhu game with investigation and action aplenty. You begin in 1920s Arkham, investigating the disappearance of Miskatonic University Professor and noted herpetologist, Doctor Dalton. What was she was hoping to find out there in that dark swamp, northeast of Arkham? Let’s hop on board Joe Sargent’s bus and head out to the coast to find out. I advise you not to waste your money on a return ticket—for some of you, this will be a one-way journey.

Pre-generated investigators will be provided.

Scenario author: Jo Kriel
