He may choose to push the roll, overcoming his fear and going against the slickness of the pipe to descend. He doesn’t make any progress, nor does he fall and break a leg. On a failure, he realizes how slick and rickety the pipe is and clings to it for dear life. However, if he fails again something bad happens.įor instance, a character climbing down a drain pipe in the rain, while cultists are knocking down his hotel room door, makes a Climb roll to scurry down the pipe. This means he’s using extra resources or taking extra time to get it right. He has a choice to push the roll and reroll. In this case the character doesn’t know anything else about the spiders. Failure on the first roll means the status quo remains. In Call of Cthulhu, I want tor remind you this isn’t the end of the action. The player of the boy scout troop leader wanted to make a roll to identify the spiders. There are tables holding terrariums full of spiders. They weren’t too far in before they found a room where people had obviously been tortured. My group of heroes did a little research, split up to get supplies and reunited to venture into the sublevels. The only clues are an open door to the sublevels that should be locked and a wallet on the stairs leading to the sublevels from a man who disappeared in the 1930s. Workers hired to rewire the soda shop in the grand concourse have started to go missing. I ran my original adventure Choo Chew, a modern era Call of Cthulhu adventure (you’d think things would be easier with the investigators having cell phones) where the investigators are members of a board of a nonprofit that is working to restore a 75-year-old train station in downtown Buffalo that has been abandoned for the past 40 years. This fresh off a game I have a new insight about how Keepers can mess with their investigators’ sanity through a mechanic completely different than Sanity rolls: Pushed rolls. The printouts of my original module are still on top of my reference books. I ran a Call of Cthulhu game recently on.
