17. Now that the first session is over, I can explain what is going on here. So, in the Carcosa setting, there is a small chance your character’s latent psychic ability is unlocked. Our characters were in stasis on a space vessel as they landed on the planet. I set it up so that there is a small chance that, not only might they have psychic abilities upon arrival, but they may have also been contacted by a Great Old One. If you’re one of the ones who get contacted by a Great Old One, there is a chance you go irreparably crazy (aka death). Overall, the chance of that happening was only .5% . . . but it was still possible.
