Occult Odds & Ends Author: Ty States System: Call of Cthulhu Category: Horror Type: Hook These are stories, terms, or names that could blend into story hooks. Obviously it's up to the GM to take something here and turn it into an adventure. Truth and accuracy not guaranteed. :-) Views: (7406) Comments: (4) Rating: 8.0 2002-10-21 11:11:18 [Add Comment] posted by cybermancer2k1 on 2002-10-24 17:40:45 Useful and thought-provoking. Great for the GM who is stuck for an idea, especially for quick one-off adventures. posted by Stompy on 2002-10-26 08:50:07 These are great little hooks. One-offs a plenty! Some require more work than others, but as a whole they are very useful to any long running horror GM, or something that they can develop on their own. posted by Sir J on 2002-11-04 06:51:42 Good plot spinners. Useful for other games systems too. What I'd REALLY like to see, however, is a similar thing with investigative details, as I find the 'Supernatural' bits of scenarios quite easy to write, but the 'nitty-gritty investigative' bits quite hard. posted by Ben on 2004-01-31 14:06:38 I'd like to add the "Tunguska Event" to the list. Early 1900's over Russia a "celestial body" was spotted, most thought it was a meteor. Soared into the atmosphere at an angle nearly impossible for a meteor to attain then exploded IN THE SKY with a force that had never been recorded from a meteor. The geomagnetic storms and effects did NOT match any previously observed object that entered the earth's atmosphere. The closest match for the geomagnetic fingerprint... was a nuclear explosion. Early weapon test? Some group (human or not) testing an unknown craft that malfunctioned? Did it even originate on Earth?
