On Sunday we began our four-session run of Cthulhu Dark: The History of Mercy Falls. Mercy Falls is the setting we have been exploring via Monsterhearts this year on both Pocket-Sized Play and YouTube. This Cthulhu Dark run is four one-shot mysteries, each showing the town of Mercy Falls during different periods of American history.
For this first session, we see Mercy Falls in the 1830s, when it was a camp stopover along the Oregon Trail. Despite a couple of technical hiccups with the recording (they are fairly minor), we managed to tell a very creepy tale involving weird time dilations, an ancient race of bird people, and one very familiar, physically imposing cultist from the mainline Mercy Falls series.
Thanks to the excellent players in this session: David LaFreniere Lauren McManamon Philipp Neitzel and Oli Jeffery!
That’s a beautiful location for a dark tale.
