Run the Adventure

A podcast about getting the most out of published modules for your tabletop roleplaying game. Every episode I take a look at a module to show you where the fun is and how you might want to tweak it to suit your game. I hope even if you decide not to play this particular module, you will get some interesting ideas out of it. This podcast is aimed at gamesmasters or players who want to be gamesmasters.

Ep 2. The Haunting - Call of Cthulhu

April 09, 2022 • Syd Razavi • Season 1 • Episode 2

In this episode, I turn to the most recommended first scenario for Call of Cthulhu, the Haunting by Sandy Peterson.

What makes this such a popular starting point for the game and earned its place in the Quick Start rules? I break down the module structure to show what it has to offer, where the fun is at and how Keepers can make the adventure their own. I suggest ways Gamesmasters of other games may learn and borrow elements for their own investigation or mystery adventures.
