Re: MUP 090 - 'Flopping Limply Along'
I loved the creature riffing here. It reminds me of some of the things Ken Hite does in the Trail of Cthulhu book for the Great Old Ones, providing a whole bunch of possible interpretations of the original texts to take them in creative directions (he does similar things with monsters in his "Ken Wr...

Re: Solo adventures?
I'm not quite sure whether you're looking for scenarios that you can play all alone (just you, no Keeper) or ones that you can play with a Keeper and a single player. Here is a free small collection of the latter type: Monophobia: A Fear of Solitude EDIT: Sorry, I reread your post and you do make it...

Re: MUP 077 - Feedback Paralysis
Murph's idea about a mythos-influenced high fantasy game made me think of something that might be exactly what he's after: Lamentations of the Flame Princess. Rules-wise, it's basically a 1st edition D&D clone. But all of the setting and adventure materials are extremely tilted toward weird fiction,...

Re: MU Podcast 070 - I love the smell of Mythos in the morni
I'll put this one my list as the American Civil War was one of my focuses and still is though lately it has been why the South went to war . . . and that is a really long debate. If by any chance you can make it to Fear the Con in St. Louis this summer, you might be able to play it! :) And the curr...

Re: American Civil War Scenarios
1. For my first scenario, all of the Investigators are wounded Confederate veterans. I created several different types of terrible period-appropriate war wounds (amputated hands, head injuries, unremovable shrapnel) and assigned stat effects to each one, such as penalties to Spot Hidden for missing...

American Civil War Scenarios
Great discussion! This topic is especially interesting to me, since I'm currently writing and running a series of Cthulhu scenarios set during the American Civil War. Here are a couple of things that I've thought of that might be good additions to games set in wartime: 1. For my first scenario, all ...

Re: MU Podcast 060 - Manuscript of Secrets and Shadowed Hall
Great ideas, Shimmin Beg! And, of course, the international students might have brought along some pretty unusual influences from their home countries...
