Changeless, legend-haunted Arkham,
Where the clustering gambrel roofs sway and sag over attics where witches hid from the king's men in the dark olden days of the province.

Well... the king is gone, but the witches are still here. And the cultists. And the monsters. And... regular folks just trying not to notice.

We try not to think about the scariest one of all: the gigantic half-dragon, half-octopus, half-humanoid, Great Old One himself -- Cthulhu! Waiting to return from his CITY BENEATH THE SEA!

So what is our first aim in the defense of our beloved city?

We Are Not Alone perhaps? Find out just what sort of unspeakable monstrosity we are up against...

Who's got good Spot Hidden and Library Use?

Ah! I have an idea for The Permanent Collection.

I have a bunch of Mythos-related documents I've made for... umm... purely innocent purposes. I'll see about putting them together into some sort of .pdf bundle that we can print out and plant in public libraries. Anyone who wants in -- send me a message.

Have you seen the sign?

Wait...are we pro old ones or anti-old ones?

Well, are you with The Releasers or The Imprisoners?

Will you stand beside Jack and Snuff at the full moon to Close the Way, or will you work to Open it and remake the world?

Yes.

Tut-tut, my good Doktor. Asking about sides this early in the Game? We're not yet even to New Moon, and that night in the lonesome October is still quite some ways off. I'm sure the openers and closers will reveal themselves by their actions in due time. By tradition, this early part of the game has always been a time of cooperation -- for all parties involved.

Damn, I wanted to make a Night in the Lonesome October reference...

You will of course forgive me if my rodent friend and I are not entirely familiar with the customs, as like many of you this is our first Game.

But you're right about it being the time to cooperate, particularly as more talk of "designated player killing zones" has cropped up in the pretirement list.

I love how our town is getting so up-to-date.
We even have an Arkham tourist guide website with an online version of the Arkham Advertiser!
Sweet!

I had a little Shoggoth.

I conjured up one day.

I used an elder sigil,

so Shoggoth did my way,

Shoggoth Shoggoth Shoggoth

With monstrous pseudopods

Shoggoth Shoggoth Shoggoth

the creature of the gods,

One day when we were playing,

My monstrous child broke free

I dropped the elder sigil,

My Shoggoth turned on me,

Shoggoth Shoggoth Shoggoth

He ripped me to a shred,

Shoggoth Shoggoth Shoggoth

we played and now I'm dead.

Question: does anyone but my dad live in San Francisco? I want to organize a cthulhu game night.

Sorry, I live in Portland, OR, and I know that Frostbeard, Ducksbane and Jotun One all live in Mass.
