In this episode, I turn to the most recommended first scenario for Call of Cthulhu, the Haunting by Sandy Peterson.
What makes this such a popular starting point for the game and earned its place in the Quick Start rules? I break down the module structure to show what it has to offer, where the fun is at and how Keepers can make the adventure their own. I suggest ways Gamesmasters of other games may learn and borrow elements for their own investigation or mystery adventures.
