We completed Episode 3 of the Call of Cthulhu Shadows Within campaign this past weekend. Michael and his character Cam improved their knowledge of what he is, Andrew made due with Quinton’s injuries, Jacob learned to use Pilkington’s position as a Marshal to the team’s advantage, and Tasheena revealed that Holmes may have a deep rooted fear of the supernatural after her encounter in Kansas.

I’m resurrecting a campaign of Call of Cthulhu, I’m experimenting with the Red Dwarf RPG, and I’ve been invited to join in a Savage Worlds game. Mid August 2010, I gathered together five players to...
