Masks of Nyarlathotep<\/em><\/strong>
\n(Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition) Quotes<\/a><\/h3>\n

From Chaosium Games<\/a>:<\/strong>
\nAt last the stars are almost right!<\/p>\n

Soon Nyarlathotep’s plans will come to fruition. Then the world will be changed irrevocably \u2014 but not quite yet. Pesky human investigators have learned much. Now they must survive long enough to make sense of what they know, and take resolute action.<\/p>\n

Masks of Nyarlathotep is a Lovecraftian exercise in horror and mystery. This Call of Cthulhu roleplaying classic is a series of linked adventures forming one long and unforgettable campaign. Horrifying deeds and dangerous sorcery dog those who dare attempt to unravel the fate of the Carlyle Expedition.<\/p>\n

Set in 1925, adventures begin in New York, then move overseas to England, Egypt, Kenya Colony, Shanghai, and western Australia. Such extended globetrotting requires wit and planning by the players. Their investigators must have steady finances, good language skills, and a willingness to persevere despite governmental interference and cultist harassment. Meanwhile the keeper must bring to life different exotic locales, recreate the sensibilities of other cultures, and balance non-player-character foes and friends to allow each investigator to earn his or her own destiny\u2014ultimate triumph, perhaps, or perhaps madness and agonizing death.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Beyond the Rim<\/em><\/strong>
\n(Star Wars: Edge of the Empire) Quotes<\/a><\/h3>\n

From Fantasy Flight Games<\/a>:<\/strong>
\nWhen new rumors add credence to old smugglers\u2019 tales of the long-lost Separatist treasure ship, the Sa Nalaor<\/em>, it\u2019s time for a handful of intrepid explorers, scrappy smugglers, and adventuresome academics to fire up their hyperdrive and embark upon a fantastic journey to the farthest regions of the Star Wars galaxy!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Midnight Heist<\/em><\/strong>
\n(Wraith: the Oblivion) Quotes<\/a><\/h3>\n

Just because you\u2019re dead, doesn\u2019t mean you don\u2019t have desires, it doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t be manipulated, and it doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t accrue debts. When everything else is gone, the only thing left is your word. When you trade favors with those in power, who really comes out on top?<\/p>\n

What\u2019s worse, you are never alone. All of your doubts, fears, and self-loathing are given a voice that serves only to drive you into the oblivion of nothingness. Try as you might to silence this dark passenger, you will forever be plagued by it\u2019s vile manipulations until the moment that you transcend, or careen forever into oblivion.<\/p>\n

The Nine Foot Man<\/em> <\/strong>
\n(Spirit of the Century)\u00a0 Quotes<\/a><\/h3>\n

The first Spirit of the Century game for our group was based very loosely on an article detailing the random single feet that wash up occasionally in Vancouver – at the time the game started, the tally was 7.\u00a0 The Nine Foot Man, in this story, was a Chinese gentleman of a certain age who had carefully cultivated the idea that when the number of feet reached 9, there would be an uprising by the Chinese workers of Vancouver – at the time, a small, frontier-ish town.<\/p>\n

Seven Went Up the Mountain<\/em> <\/strong>
\n(Spirit of the Century)\u00a0 Quotes<\/a>
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The follow-up to “The Nine Foot Man,” this story was also based loosely on a news article – this one about a group of Russian climbers who went up into the Himalayas and, in the middle of one night, mysteriously disappeared.\u00a0 This story quickly veered into paranormal territory, dealing with Russians excavating into one of the Himalayas in search of the Heart of the World and Nanook, the Polar Bear God.\u00a0

Custard and the Tarp<\/em> <\/strong>
\n(Star Wars) Quotes<\/a><\/h3>\n

It’s a silly name, but it was a game that quickly turned very silly.\u00a0 The GM’s name for the game has long since been lost; a throw-away character with a custard machine turned into a running joke… and then we went in search of the ship with the most advanced cloaking device in the galaxy, which happened to be covered by a tarp at the time, and someone asked if that was the cloaking device, and… well, believe it or not, it went downhill from there.\u00a0 In honor of the fact that we pretty much all remember the custard machine and the tarp, I’ve dubbed it simply “custard and the tarp.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
