Flash Cthulhu: Fair Porcine Prize
Lydford, Southwest England, 954 AD. The harvest fair competition brings folk from all the neighbouring villages to show off and sell their prized vegetables, fruits, and livestock. Infrith, a good-natured by rather pitiable peasant, brought his favourite sow, Pigwynn, to compete for the Biggest Porcine prize. But only half an hour before the judgement is about to commence, Infrith causes a scene, crying out that his beloved Pigwynn is missing! Stolen! A black tragedy!
Written by Michael Reid, author of the Gold best-selling Branches of Bone – A Cthulhu Dark Ages Viking Age Scenario, the Electrum best-selling A Chill in Abashiri – A 1920s Taisho-Era Japan Scenario, and the Silver best-selling supplement Memorable Major Wounds – Critical Tables and Expanded Injuries for Call of Cthulhu.
Fair Porcine Prize is a ultra-short Cthulhu Dark Ages scenario with a focus on investigation, and a pig. While using Cthulhu Dark Ages 3rd Edition rulebook will get the most out of the setting and scenario, the scenario can be run using standard Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition rules.
Café au Morte includes:
- 3 pages of scenario text, 1 page of stats and a spell and a handout, and 2 pages of pregenerated investigators on custom halfpage sheets.
-
Timeline to help Keeper’s fit the scenario into a one hour session.
-
Customization suggestions for using pre-existing investigators, different eras, pulp, extending the session, or follow up adventures.
- Printer-friendly-ish version.
-
NPC portrait by David North.
- Four pregenerated Dark Ages investigators
Flash Cthulhu scenarios are meant to run in a single, hour-long session, and are kept simple and to the point, generally in a single location. While many details are left vague for the Keeper to fill in if desired, the text is written to be usable as-is without extra preparation.
