Summary

Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition, solo or duet scenario, set during the Great Depression in America. This game guides you through the many horrors investigators will face on Dead Man's Peak!

Full Description

5e Solo Gamebooks presents Dead Man’s Peak, a solo scenario for Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition. This scenario is designed for 1-2 solo investigators, and is playable without a Keeper. A multi-choice narrative guides you through this scenario. This scenario takes place at a CCC worker’s camp during the Great Depression. Investigators will face many horrors as they try to uncover a disturbing mystery surrounding the mountain from which the camp gets its name: Dead Man’s Peak. To reveal too much about the story behind it would be spoiling the discovery that will happen organically within the scenario, but suffice to say that investigators will be tested to the utmost! Action is directed through narrative entries within the PDF. As usual, these are hyperlinked so that you can simply click on the desired option and be immediately taken to the relevant page. The combat encounters within this scenario are managed through the use of custom combat sheets. These direct NPC actions and other factors that influence the outcome. Codewords gained within the quest, as well as clues and various items, will grant your characters advantages in various situations. There is also a specialized system regarding NPC interactions which can also grant benefits to your characters. Care has been taken to make the scenario as interesting, and interactive, as is possible in a solo, Keeper-less adventure. If you enjoyed the Solo Investigator’s Handbook, and would like something a bit more fleshed out by the same author, then this book will provide what you’re looking for - an immersive solo experience where your investigator is dropped into danger and pitted against forces beyond their control! If you desire a serious challenge, take on the perils of Dead Man’s Peak with a single investigator. However, if you wish to play with a friend, you could run the scenario controlling an investigator each, and will still find the scenario a solid challenge as you come up against unspeakable horrors and perilous challenges. So roll up a fresh investigator or two and brave the nightmare that is Dead Man’s Peak!
