Currently reorganizing and expanding (and maybe renaming), "The Vanishing at Rhu" - to release as a stand alone adventure for low level OSR style fantasy game. I always felt this was the strongest of the three scenarios in "The Murk's Curse". www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...

My well play tested Call of Cthulhu adventure, Mount Katahdin's Shadow, is a 1988 Appalachian Trail hike murder scene discovery bleeding into mythos contact. Made a cool movie-style trailer too. I'd be grateful if you took a look. Cheers! www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/4...

Story writing pointers from Stephen King. Some of these can be used to frame and write adventures and scene situations. Although the video author does not say, most of this is from his excellent, semi-autobiographical book called, "On Writing". www.youtube.com/watch?v=fCNa...
