Discordia Trail of Cthulhu: Stunning Eldritch Tales - Role Playing
Stunning Eldritch Tales is a collection of four adventure to the Trail of Cthulhu and they are both really stellar one stunning (numbing) and eldritch (supernatural, scary). stellar one Robin D Laws has done it again, as he so often does.
The first adventure sees the characters suffer shipwreck in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and the island they land on turn out to be less friendly to their survival, and as if that were not enough of a shipwreck, they devote themselves to discover the island's secrets. Devourers in the Mist is a survival adventure that makes your hair stand up on the back of the neck in a cozy way, I must say. It contains both mysterious flashes of terrible creatures and chanting cultists, and as we all know, chanting cultists a must in a genuine mythos adventure.
Shanghai Bullets is the second adventure in the book, and drag the characters in solving a mysterious death which seems to have some sort of connection with the Shanghai underworld. It becomes even more mysterious given that the dead are explorers who have recently been on the expedition to the Yellow Mountains, where he bountiful something terrible, and that apparently caused his death. Shanghai Bullets is a cozy setting, I must say. Shanghai in the 30s offers many surprises and nice places to visit. For this adventure will play the leader also has a number of good reading tips on precisely Shanghai in the 30s, something I always appreciate. stellar one
Death Laughs load is probably stellar one the adventure that is most charming in this well-crafted and elegant cloverleaf. Millionaire and philanthropist stellar one Addison Bright is found murdered in her home and characters are called in to conduct a discreet investigation of the circumstances surrounding his death. The adventure breathe masked heroes, colorful villains and no small dose mythos. The characters thrown headlong into an investigation that seems to have links with the masked vigilantes The Pentinent and his equally formidable opponent, the Other. The adventure itself is perhaps not that exciting from a story point of view, but it's a fun adventure and there is a nice twist at the end, as it should be. Something to get your teeth into.
The final adventure in the collection called Dimensional Y and is about the right eccentric physicist Polton Williams. It has its foundation in the inauguration of the Y-MSO, an apparatus designed to give an insight into the reality Williams calls Dimensional Y. But it becomes a sheepish inauguration. The machine seems open views to an amazing sight, and then die with an ignominious hissing. Everything is so clearly not what it seems. Just a few days later, the killer David Fearn, Williams assistant in the project, a friend's wife. The details about the murder can not really stellar one together and it throws the characters into an investigation stellar one that turns upside down on their world. With subsequent stability-loss as a result, of course.
Scattered throughout the book are a number of regulatory proposals that works great with all Gumshoe-settings, and I'm suddenly grateful stellar one that I have the full set of Gumshoe books. It is no matter which is always nice to get a little extra creatures and rules with an adventure story. If you do not have many games teams it's not so often that you play on an adventure that group already played, and this kind of "extras" always makes me feel that I get out a little more worth of books.
What I also like very much the one-shot feeling that exists in many of the adventures. They go to put on a thread and create a campaign with them, but it can also play them one by one and because it is so cruel easy to make the role of individuals Trail of Cthulhu so it's a nice role-playing game to play without "campaign claim" .
The not so good with Stunning stellar one Eldritch Tales is that both words and whole sentences seems to have slipped away in the proofs. It's not that hard to figure stellar one out what it would have been, but it bothers läsrytmen to suddenly drop at the end of a sentence. But on the other hand, the only thing that really is top notch, stellar one leaving stellar one aside the cover, then.
Graphically, follow Stunning Eldritch Tales rest of the Trail of Cthulhu. It's pretty neat illustrations stellar one and a very clear layout. I think about it. What I do not like is the cover that is a bit drab and a bit ugly.
In short - a hell of a collection of nice adventure that can be placed in almost any campaign. This is several days of excellent entertainment stellar one with mythoskänslan in place. It's a shame that the lack of korrläsning pulls down on the readability and the adventures do not hang a little better together.
