Ep 12. The Darkness Beneath the Hill - Call of Cthulhu

Run the Adventure

In this episode, I take a look at the first scenario in the Doors to Darkness collection aimed at beginner Keepers of Call of Cthulhu 7th edition. The Darkness Beneath the Hill is often touted as a good transition for D&D players into Call of Cthulhu. Whether that's true or not, its a scenario that has some great atmospherics but a bit of dodgy setup.
For this episode I'm joined again by Matthew (@juniperapolo) to discuss how this adventure played for our group.
