If this is your first time facing the Mythos, keep one thing in mind: You are not superheroes. You are ordinary people; librarians, detectives, or professors โ thrust into extraordinary, terrifying circumstances.
The Goal: Solve the mystery and stay sane (or at least alive).
The Stakes: Combat is deadly, and knowledge often comes at a price. Use your wits, investigate thoroughly, and remember that sometimes, running away is the best decision.

Your friend and colleague, Larry Croswell, has been committed to the Danvers State Hospital for the Insane. His letters started off rambling, but the most recent one is a frantic, barely legible scrawl. He claims he is being held against his will and that โsomethingโ is coming for him. He begs you to get him out before the next full moon.
Will you answer the call before Larryโs mindโor soulโis lost forever?

To fully immerse ourselves in the 1920s atmosphere, I encourage you to think deeply about who your investigator is. What drives them? What is their greatest fear?
Note: You do not have to "act" or do a voice, but embodying your characterโs motivations is key to the fun.
Dress the Part: While not mandatory, suitable โ20s-era outfits are highly encouraged! A fedora, a waist-coat, or a string of pearls goes a long way in setting the mood.
Character Creation: This takes a bit of work at first, but itโs the fun part: getting into your characterโs shoes. Their job, skills, history, relationships, money, and important items all combine to help you fully inhabit the character. This upfront lift is the most youโll have to do for the entirety of the scenario.
The Dhole House website allows you to create your character online and export your character sheet as a PDF. The website SUCKS, but itโs the best free option. Must be on desktop. Email your character PDF to me asap at joshhornerdesign@gmail.com
Premades: If youโd prefer to jump right in without building your own, I will have a selection of ready-to-play characters available on the day.
