Summary: <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Campus Crier<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Have you guys seen <a href="https://www.facebook.com/thebirchshow/">The Birch</a><a href="https://www.facebook.com/thebirchshow/"> on Facebook Watch yet</a>? It’s a great horror story available exclusively on Facebook, and it’s produced in partnership with CryptTV, (who have a channel on YouTube). There are five episodes so far; each is about 18 minutes long. I like the way they are telling the story. Episode 1 introduces our main character and sets up the world she lives in. Episode 2 suddenly introduces whole new characters, (without explanation at first), but then we learn that this is the origin story of the monster. Episode 3 returns to the world of our main character, but we relive events from Episode 1, but from the antagonist’s POV… which was cool. Episode 4 is more of the monster origin, and then Episode 5 is back with our protagonist as her story advances from where we really left off with her from Episode 1. It probably sounds confusing as I describe it, but it’s plays really well on screen. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Robin D. Laws, Lynne Hardy, and Cat Tobin recently attended The Kraken convention, where they panelled the “Investigative Roleplaying Masterclass.” The panel is now available on YouTube; it’s a really great panel on structuring an investigative role playing game scenario. We highly recommend this video for anyone interested in writing an investigative adventure. <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLO-wjBOBNc&feature=share&fbclid=IwAR0t7besCI_4Uc-hwUSv1nk8VsJIfrERZ2gBQbsCV7kfUCkA9P8RsMNmZ9E<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> A Cold Fire Within and Berlin the Wicked City have both been <a href="https://www.chaosium.com/blog-a-cold-fire-within-and-berlin-the-wicked-city-available-in-special-leatherette-editions/">released in the special leatherette</a> edition both featuring gold stamped covers. They are available through the Chaosium website only for $90 and $95 respectively.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> There is also a very favourable <a href="https://www.rpg.net/reviews/archive/18/18324.phtml">review of Berlin The Wicked City</a> that has been released over on RPG.net. The conclusion sums it up: “Berlin - The Wicked city doesn't just present a new, impossibly alluring setting for original Call of Cthulhu adventures, but comes out as a treatise on how to write sourcebook/adventure books. It is well-targeted, thoroughly researched, evocatively written, and as useful for gaming purposes as a supplement can be. It will soon rake in the awards and be hailed as a classic; there's no doubt about it.”<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> Good friend of the show, and all around nice guy Dean Englehart has released the next segment in his popular Convicts and Cthulhu line called Ticket of Leave #15, Death Knells. It is written by Dean and Geoff Gillian and is available right now for free at the Cthulhu Reborn site. <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Stronghold-Games-SG4011-AuZtralia/dp/B07GNXB8RM/ref=cm_wl_huc_item">AuZtralia</a> is an adventure/exploration board game by Stronghold Games for 1-4 players set in an alternate reality 1930s. Following the Restorationist war, the northern hemisphere lands lay poisoned and starvation was the norm. Intrepid adventurers set out to explore and settle new lands. Little did they know, after the war, the surviving Old Ones and their remaining loyal human armies made their way to the outback of Australia to lick their wounds. Riches from the land, mixed with darkness and insanity await you in the outback. Will humanity prevail or will the Old Ones wreak their revenge? <br> <br> <br> <br> <a href="https://discord.gg/vNjEv9D">MU Discord server invite link >></a><br> <br>
