Show notes

The Firewall team draws close to an end of its time on the scum swarm but there is much work yet to be done. Existential threats, war criminals, and the swarm's leaders all threaten the team's operation. Furthermore, each member of the team is personally challenged by their own choices. How much more can they compromise to make sure their mission is a success? As they face the monsters that lurk in the shadows, can these isolated Firewall agents be sure that they haven't been corrupted as well? Perhaps by taking down a threat to all of transhumanity, they can redeem themselves. Or not. Find out what the threat is and if it is stopped in this episode!

Call of Cthulhu: Hotline Miami Dec 05, 2012

Show notes

Hotline Miami is a mindfuck of a video game and after beating it, I realized it would fit in the world of the Cthulhu mythos. Rampant violence, madness, the blurring of hallucinations with reality, a lack of meaning in a cold, bleak universe, and hordes of goons to kill! The emphasis on masks in Hotline Miami makes it perfect as part of the Hastur/King in Yellow mythos, so I started there. Of course, I didn't tell any of the players this before I started the scenario. See how long it takes them to figure out what's going on. Also, this scenario is notable for a a few twists, especially when it comes to Tom and Aaron. Even if you've beaten the game, you'll won't know what's coming! read more about this scenario on my blog!
