Aethercon 2015 Review

Post by Shannon Mac » Mon Nov 16, 2015 3:28 am

For those who attended how did the con treat you?

I played in 3 fun CoC games and ran Cthulhu Invictus. On that note here are some details about my game without spoilers:

CI went fairly well. We had 5 players and a total of 10 characters. At the end of the session 6 were dead, 2 walked away, 1 was turned into slave for cowardice and another was consistently mad. Unlike C0C 20s Cthulhu Invictus has a Sword and Sandals style in which you can fight some Mythos beings with your weapons. This could have been a TPK.

We tried to record this one but our back up recorder had a tech error so no tick to his computer use skill.

Oh, and one of my players won the open gaming prize bundle.

I ran a scenario I wrote myself for the Cthulhu End Times setting described in the book "Cthulhu Through the Ages". Investigators were all nuns (and one brother) living in an isolated outpost in a mythos apocalyptic age and sent on a dangerous mission to recover a missing girl. It was more pulpy than dark, but It was great fun with great players--and I got a lot of great ideas for further development. Number one change, make the ending much more grenade proof...

I'm looking at you Shannon. :evil:
