Edit: Oh man, apologies to everyone: the dreaded buzz has returned! (For some reason, this only seems to happen when we play nWoD...) The good news is that it's fairly intermittent, with the worst bits between the 48:00 and 59:00 marks. :(

[Cthulhu-a-thon '14] Episode Three: Progeny's Nightmare - World of Darkness: Innocents

It's been a long-standing tradition among certain of the more august members of the Esoteric Order to do up a big horror gaming extravaganza around Halloween every year. Since time immemorial, this event has been referred to as the "Call-of-Cthulhu-a-thon"...even if no actual CoC is run that day.

Last year, we did one big six-hour scenario. This year we decided to go for the "rock festival" approach and offer several smaller scenarios over the course of a day and let folks filter in and out as the mood struck them.

The third and final scenario, run by David S., is a homebrew for World of Darkness: Innocents based on a nightmare he had recently.

Fair warning: the fact that this came at the end of a long day of tense horror gaming and near-constant junk food snacking, along with all of us getting into the characters of playing 12-year-olds, made for some pretty punchy gameplay. Still and all, lots of creeptastic fun was to be had. Enjoy!
