Fancy a quicky? This week, we take a look at Michael Reid's Flash Cthulhu series. Quite frankly, we love it! Read our full thoughts under the pictures Alt Text and grab a copy here: tinyurl.com/yzdn5kts #CallofCthulhu #TTRPG #MiskatonicRepository #Chaosium

Fancy a quicky?

Last week has been a busy one for the entire team, and one of us even had to go abroad for work (Roll for Sanity)
Fortunately, Michael Reid came to the rescue with his Flash Cthulhu series, which is a stroke of genius in our modern time of juggling work, family, and hobbies.

Flash Cthulhu is aimed at the busy Keeper who needs something quick to prepare and run.
This is perfectly suited for a demonstration game, but in our opinion, it really shines as a palate-cleanser for a group of players between campaigns or systems, or in the instance that if a couple of regulars has to cancel on a session with short notice.

Rather than point out a specific scenario, we would like to guide you towards the bundle containing 12 of these wonderful little scenarios.
Each of them has everything you need in an easy-to-digest 6-page package.
Designed to be run in short 1-hour sessions, they are tightly and brilliantly written and even includes pre-gen Investigators!

Setting varies wildly in both location and year. Ranging from a 15000 BCE scenario (yes you read that right) to the classic era and into both modern and SF times.
Quite frankly there is something for everyone.

The bundle is less than $12 for at least 12 hours of fun, and we can't recommend it warmly enough. Grab your own copy of the bundle here:

I'd aim at players and the system more so. Getting mind blasted by a spooky book should be the fun bit. In an ideal system, getting fucked up is enjoyable, and so just watching numbers go down isn't very fun. GMs can only do so much if the players aren't onboard and the system's messaging sucks.
