Hello, I hope everyone is staying healthy! After playing in a game, reading some guides, and pursuing some of the public games, in addition to running in-person games for years, I think I'm ready to run a campaign of my own. And, I won't lie, this lockdown situation has got me itching to run Beyond the Mountains of Madness, which I bought off eBay years ago, but never ran. However, that's a pretty big undertaking for my first GamersPlane game, so I was thinking about first running one of the shorter scenarios from the 7th Edition book Doors to Darkness, which I've also had for a while but never run. Now, while these wouldn't be one-shots in the traditional sense, would anyone be interested in a shorter-than-average, single scenario adventure, probably posting 3-5 times a week?

What era would that adventure be set in?

I’ve never played COC before, but I’d be totally up for trying it

I would definitely be up for it. Recently got into CoC. (Though I am not climbing anything. Climbing is bad)

Yep, definitely, what version?

The 1920s, pretty standard. I'm thinking of running the scenario "The Darkness Beneath The Hill," as it takes place in Providence, RI, and, having spent a bit of time there, I know some of the real-life locations very well. It makes it that much easier!

7th! If I run Mountains of Madness afterward, I'll convert it using the 7th conversion tables/chapter in the 7th edition gamebook.

Thanks for the response, everyone! For those interested, I'll create the game tonight and invite the first five people who were interested. If someone isn't interested anymore, I'll go to the next interested poster and so on.

as is staying that the bottom of that ladder/cliff/wall etc

Being halfway up isn't much better either...

Great to have another Keeper on board! Good luck with it, PLT!

I'd be happy to play! What kind of characters are you hoping for?
