Just saw this from the recent translation of Japonism
2:00 I think 1D4 in Location for Europe was more likely to choose the region of Europe (Western/Northern/Southern/Eastern)
This was (I think) the second scenario I ever played, and I’ve run it a few times since then. I think all of those times we took two sessions to finish it. Weirdly none of the times ever got to the lake for a confrontation with the BBEG. But yeah, lack of seperate player maps and Keeper maps is an issue a lot of scenarios have.
A shame there isn't an English version, I'd love to run something like this
Yup. My goal in life is to get enough people riled up and annoying Chaosium until they finally license a translation.
I e worked with the Unraveling and been considering this Cabinet as well
Personally I nerf those plants. For me, they are not fun.
Great review!
Thanks. This is great to clip and use as the recording for the Cellar scenario. th-cam.com/users/clipUgkxUJO6lJcgN1K6119caj6eCOEIGQuwEtHW?si=Zy6Wpoa7An63G2jU
5:10 i think you forget to cut a part of the script....😊
You wait until the end to tell me that it's not available in English? :(
😉My evil plan is to annoy enough people so they'll bug Chaosium to license it for translation.
Running it next month!
Might be some spoilers here for players
The GM for our ungoing fantasy campaign had to cancel this past weekend, so I said I could run a one shot. Read Unland on the train to the location, 30m of reading and no prep time. Worked really well, me and the players had a really good time with this. Having the players come up with their lies at the end was a high point. FSLN is really a great book for when someone cancels and you need a scenario on the fly.
A lovely cinematic telling
This turned out helpful, and will run a third time this spring.
I have run this twice, and I had to sprinkle more clues and a short tour in the first half to familiarize in estimator with resources before the action began.
I key recommend is to allow the players some incentive to explore a little before things go back, perhaps a tour of offices to familiarize themselves and get in roleplay with main NPCs.
I have run this three times
I definitely leaned more into the sandbox in this one. :)
This is amazing. I definitely want to pick up this book. Do you know where I could get this book? Is it on drive thru RPG?
Eyy branching out to some grimdark goodness eh!
Actually ran this 3 years ago. Ran out of Call of Cthulhu scenarios to review... I do hope to get back to grim and perilous adventures soon though.
Thanks for another jp coc vid. It's been years ago when I found out how huge the horror ttrpg scene in Japan but I can't seem to find them in the eng interweb.
I spent the morning listening to your reviews. I got some great ideas. Thanks for doing this.
It has a surprising amount of replayability.
I have to admit I’ve never had a problem with players finding and putting the ring on too early. 😅 Either they don’t try to look for it until the monster attacks (with heavy hints) or they find it but never think to put it on.
This was the first scenario I ever ran as a new Keeper. Since then I’ve run it countless times. A great scenario, especially for new Keepers and new players.
I first played this as a session zero for Masks of Nyarlathotep, and have run it twice as a prelude for The Fungi from Yuggoth campaign (first edition of the now Day of the Beast campaign). As a player we all used our own characters. Everyone getting invited to a party (with one player being an Egyptian belly dancer hired as entertainment) is a pretty easy hook. When I ran it as Keeper two players chose pregens (Farouk and Clayton - It’s funny how differently they were played by my players compared to the narrative retelling here), and the rest made their own characters. It meant they had a connection going into the campaign. The second time I used a modified Necropolis (Gateways to Terror) as a session zero where the characters (one playing Hewitt, one playing Jessica Pemberley, two playing their own characters) found the mummy in a tomb. I then set The Mummy of Pemberley Grange two years later with everyone playing their own characters. Taking inspiration from when I went through as a player I had a belly dancer NPC so they had someone who could read the handouts etc. It’s a fun scenario. Reminds me a lot of ‘The Mummy’ movie series.
I am running it in 2023, do or die.
Its so pretty
Fear's Sharp Little Needles is a near perfect book.
Me and my players used to call a fumble a GRUMPY. Way before Amber Heard and her bed etiquette. Cheers!
An excellent adventure. Congratulations on the POD!
Thanks!
Another jewel from Fear’s Sharp Little Needles. Great review. Thanks!
I love Fears’ Sharp Little Needles! My favorite scenarios are “Separation Anxiety” and “Lights Out”. Thanks for the review!
I'll have to try those ones next! I try to only read one or two scenarios in advance on the off chance I get to play one before running it.
Well told!
This scenario sounds very interesting. Unfortunately for me, I cannot read Japanese. I hope they get translated. Thank you for your review and welcome back!
I doubt it will, unfortunately. I don't know of any official Japanese titles that have been translated and released in English. Finger-crossed, though. And thanks!
@@mjrrpg thank you for sharing these cool scenarios with us. I appreciate it.
Thank you for your review. Unpopular opinion, but I actually think The Haunting is a pretty terrible scenario. It’s main value is just that it’s old so you can get the shared war stories thing and reminisce about Corbitt’s bed. It would work better as the opening to an ongoing campaign where the chapel of contemplation actually led to something, and they did all the library use/asylum visiting *after* going through the house (which makes more sense imo). That said I loved your recommendations for spooky stuff to put in the house. Mine is that in the bathroom they look in a mirror and see the bath full of blood, but when they turn around it’s just dirty water again. Why I don’t like it is chiefly to do with how smug it seems with the “Oh, these new [probably D&D] players don’t know they need to *investigate* first” <insert smug GM meme face here>. But there’s literally no reason to investigate. The only reason basically boils down to “It’s a Call of Cthulhu scenario”. Even as an experienced player going straight to the house just kind of makes sense, given the assignment. To rub salt into that investigation outside the house is totally irrelevant. Sure, you find some history, but it doesn’t actually help the players in any way. /rant Sorry. 😅
@@jeffmomsen9254 "That the kitchen knife was more likely Corbitt’s knife? The son Dominated to use it on himself when he got too close to finding Corbitt’s hideout?" My assumption was that it was indeed Corbit's knife. It just attacked and killed the guy. And without any sign of a murderer everyone just assumed the guy offed himself.
I wonder if the scenario would work better if the investigators visit the house, encounter some spooky stuff, and only then start investigating the house's history. It would give them the reason to investigate and make players curious about the reasons for the spooky stuff, which in turn make the information they uncover interesting to them, even though most of it not really that helpful.
My favourite scenario. 😁
I’m tempted to run this as a one shot when my group needs to travel from the US to Berlin, but end it with the trope of an investigator wakes up on the airship as it’s docking in Berlin and it was all a dream.
Does the colour of the cover mean anything? Thanks for the review! Definitely want to check some of these out. Are there any that could easily run in the 1930’s? I’ve already run The Mummy of Pemberley Grange but was interested in the airships, lighthouse etc pack.
I really like these narrative retellings!
Thank you for your review. I know this is beside the point, but you mentioned the “spending luck rule from Pulp Cthulhu”. Spending luck is actually an optional rule in regular (non-pulp) Call of Cthulhu 7e.
Very well done!!!!
Great reviews, came here from your Black Water Creek review. Do you run these for your group or are you a player?
Thanks! These have all been games I ran. I don't get to be a player in CoC very often.
That image is such a spoiler! I've run it many times and have to hid the cover every time.
Great review! I’ll check it out. Thanks!
Yes, I think the play value of this one might be more limited than Mummy of Pemberley Grange of the same collection, but might still be something to keep in my pocket for use in an Egyptian campaign
Nice twist at the end
A great narration. I'll be running this on Friday
