A Murder In Suburbia Author: Dominic A. Covey System: Call of Cthulhu Category: Horror Type: Scenario In this adventure, the investigators return home to their peaceful old hometown upon hearing news of a young relative’s horrible death. Taking part in the funeral, they soon discover a sinister presence among the town’s children, perhaps even the murderer of their young cousin. Discovering that the past can never be had again, they come to realize their town – and the once-innocent youth – are now decayed, degenerate, and a haven to sinister secrets.

This kind of stuff is what's missing from Cthulhu. posted by Albert B. Butler on 2000-02-28 06:29:07 Well Done. Nicely woven and believable plot. I'm thinking about running. I'm going to change the location to Columbine High School, however. posted by RPGArchive on 2000-05-08 19:31:28 RPGArchive contest winner 5-9-2000. posted by sponge robin on 2001-05-17 13:47:23 i am was dming the other day for my group and they all got spooked cause of this story plot.they said it was one of the best quests they ever went on. posted by Nocturne on 2001-06-02 08:53:25 great story wonderful plot, creative and good twist i hope to see more from this author sometime soon posted by ailil on 2001-07-07 23:58:25 After reading this scenerio, I, having never ran Cthulhu before, decided to give it a go. Now that the game is over, I have but one word to describe it: incredible. This was a very well-thought out adventure with great NPC's. Mr. Covey, I thank you. posted by Chimera_101 on 2001-08-25 14:48:35 I just read this, and being a resonably experienced Keeper, I can tell how good it would be to play. I thoroughly enjoyed reading it and think that it contains all the necessary elements to run a s**t scary game that is fun and unpredictable. I shall CERTAINLY be running this game in the near future and thank Dom Covey for this excellent piece of s**t-yourself-making material. posted by kaiscomet on 2001-12-20 16:00:17 Great storyline and wicked NPCs. Wish the the magical book had a bit more information however. Also, after the ghost story incident with the primary antagonist and resultant nightmare, the guessing game of "whodunit" is over, and it's just picking up the clues. The story seems to be less horrific and more sick and twisted at times. Very disturbing! Good job. posted by LJSLarsson on 2002-02-06 06:23:30 Let's just face it, Dominic is a wonderful horrorgame-writer that not only throws in some monsters and thinks it's scary. It's also very generic, and that's very pleasant for a gm who prefers GURPS Horror. posted by Lord Solas on 2003-04-18 17:18:06 This adventure is well thought out. His NPCs are spooky and realistic. He has given an answer to every contingency. posted by Dick Page on 2003-07-23 02:47:03 I read this adventure as an example of a possible game, as I am considering purchasing CoC. I'm sold. If this is how a great game goes, I must own CoC. So many well-thought out NPCs, such variety in approaches, so much assistance for a Keeper. It's > 90 pages long! Excellent work. posted by Silent_64 on 2003-12-01 13:10:26 This is a GREAT scenario I manged to scare my players, and they had a great time. They died in the end when they went a nuts in the Police station with a blut knife. posted by Logan on 2004-02-29 15:46:53 As good as many of the published scenarios out there - deducted a bit off of rating for using the overused 'you are related' cliche entry. posted by Ben on 2004-03-06 14:08:08 Very well thought out. Tweak the beginning for a more original intro and you've got a 10 on your hands. posted by Ben on 2004-03-23 10:52:26 I've taken this adventure, adapted it to D20, and expanded it to be an intro for a whole campaign. I have, what i believe, some really wicked ideas to turn this into a huge campaign. Drop me an email Dominic so i can let you know about it. I want your permission Dominic before I post my ideas mixed with yours as a campaign. posted by PerfectSelf on 2006-01-24 15:11:31 It is so wonderful and well-thought it hurts. posted by miguel angel flores dedios on 2007-03-26 13:51:58 i play d&d with the man himself. every week. Dom is a really cool person. posted by Jake on 2008-03-19 13:15:54 I was absolutely enthralled from beginning to end. So brilliantly crafted it could be transformed into a compelling novel. I am going to use the story as one of my games and I can only hope I do it justice.
