You know, with a little patience it's possible to replicate the result of any die size with any other die size, or even just a flipped coin. In the case of "D12", you can roll a 20-sided die. If the result is 13 or higher, re-roll. If the result is 1-12, you're good to go.
To replicate if with a coin, flip a coin 4 times, each representing a binary digit (all 0s = 16, not 0). Again, if the results are between 1 and 12, you're good. 13-16, flip again.

2 years agoI like scenarios that don't use Human time scales. For me, it opens opportunities for deep lore to be added. The idea that a demon appears in the year 2022 because of a series of cult rituals dating back to AD 1022 or 22 BC makes things far more interesting.

2 years agoThe other elder signs are a good addition, but there are a few things that didn't make sense to me.
So, lots of graffiti and whatnot on the island, so why hasn't the big bad just tainted some group of drunk teenagers who feel asleep overnight and woke up as drones? Since level 10 taint apparently allows the drone to act and look normal, the cult should have been alive and well. Any drone could go back to the mainland and entice more people.
Also, if the place is a frequent hangout, I don't see why there isn't more disease in the mainland and why anything is left for the investigators to find. Some pack of kids roaming around would have definitely grabbed the gun and the video recorder.
I think the elder signs are a good step, however I'd also juice it the following way:
The government's cover story is that the one island is said to have been a secret Nazi lab that later became a doomsday cult that was experimenting with chemical and biological weapons. The whole island is surrounded by an electrified razorwire fence with plenty of warnings. It also has a bad name in small town on the mainland. Of course kids do go out to the smaller island with the bridge on it for a 'knocking on the door' kind of thrill, but kind of like Gremlins, you never stay past midnight or longer than six hours. If you do, an Italian police launch seems to always come by to escort you off.
Due to the receding water, a collapsing cliff face not only damaged an elder sign but provides access to the facility up a slope of scree and under the fence. It just so happens the military's monitoring is focused on people approaching, not internal security, so they didn't see the gap open up. Due to the water receding, you could run a small launch to the unprotected smaller island and with a quick swim, get on the muddy embankment on the other side.
There's a type of Mardi Gras in the town tonight, perhaps a festival based on the change of fish migration if it had been a fishing village, so the police are busy and there are a number of tourists around. A group of foreigners running around with camera and boating around the bay won't be out of place.
The above is how you could have rumors of the island, fairly easy access, little notice approaching, but also have all the things inside remain there for the investigators to find. The sleazy fisherman could even be a low-key smuggler who noticed the cliff collapse one day, so it isn't common knowledge.

2 years agoThe revolver having been there for 70 years is probably fine, the real concern is the ammo, being improperly stored is probably gonna be the failure point. So 'no bullets' checks out more than broken revolver to my understanding

2 years agoAs an Italian, I like the comedic idea of our government being competent enough to have a contingency plan in case of an elder god arrival.
show more show lessIn reality, not even one year after the original raid, some one at the government would see some type of cash flow going to an unknown operation and immediately say "Oh, free taxpayer money for me to take."
And in South italy too? Yea, I give it one day.

The internet, smartphones, cloud storage, GPS and basically the deadening of horror through the internet and "because you see a lot online" are interesting aspects that can massively influence a typical CoC scenario.
Basically, I find it a pity that there is not much official information on this 🙁

2 years agoIdea, take the subscriber count and super chat donations for each place and apply them to which ever one they’re in. So if they go to the hospital use the one for the first area they’re supposed to explore. That way it’s opened up a bit more than the module intended route.
