<p>StuartB: /* Keeper Comments */</p> <hr /> <div>==Details==<br /> <br /> '''Pages:''' 18<br /> <br /> '''Author(s):''' [[Stuart Boon]]<br /> <br /> '''Artist(s):''' <br /> <br /> '''Setting:''' [[1920s]]<br /> <br /> '''Appears in:''' [[Shadows Over Scotland]] published by [[Cubicle 7]]<br /> <br /> '''Campaign:'''<br /> <br /> ==Summary==<br /> Archaeologist John McNamara invites the investigators to Skara Brae to confer on a strange artefact he’s discovered. If he’s right, there might have been a very good reason why the settlement was abandoned so suddenly millennia ago. Worse, it would appear the stars are aligning once more, and that same ‘reason’ might well be returning from the timeless depths of space.<br /> <br /> ==Links== <br /> * [http://shop.cubicle7store.com/Cthulhu-Britannica-Shadows-Over-Scotland/ Buy Shadows Over Scotland from Cubicle 7] (PDF)<br /> <br /> ==Spoilers - Keepers Eyes Only==<br /> '''Players should not read any further.'''<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ===Synopsis===<br /> McNamara discovered a crystalline shard - a "star seed". By touching the shard, McNamara summoned a Colour Out of Space. In 48 hours, it will arrive.<br /> <br /> ===References===<br /> '''Player Handouts:'''<br /> * Brecht’s African Journal, Part 1<br /> * Brecht’s African Journal, Part 2<br /> * Brecht’s African Journal, Part 3<br /> * McNamara’s Letter to Investigators<br /> * McNamara’s Dig Journal<br /> * Neolithic Pictogram<br /> <br /> '''Locations:''' [[Skara Brae]], [[Orkney]], [[Dreamlands]]<br /> <br /> '''Creatures:''' The Colours Out Of Space <br /> <br /> '''Tomes and Artifacts:''' The Black Shard<br /> <br /> '''Campaigns / Scenarios:'''<br /> <br /> ===Comments===<br /> <br /> <br /> ===Keeper Comments===<br /> There are a lot of plot holes that the Keeper needs to fill in.<br /> <br /> Without consulting Old Lady Merriman and completing a dream quest, the Investigators are unlikely to successfully deal with the Colour. Unfortunately, the link to Merriman is very tenuous (buried in the "Skaill Home Farm" section). If the Investigators find the shard, why would they tell the Moodies? The Keeper may decide to provide other links e.g. they meet Miss Hestwall sketching the standing stones.<br /> <br /> Why is there a pictogram showing how to send the shard back into space next to the chamber containing the shard? If the inhabitants of Skara Brae knew how to get rid of the shard, why didn't they? The Keeper should have some explanation for this.<br /> <br /> Finally, there are no stats and virtually no other information about the Guardian. What is the Guardian? Why do the Investigators have to convince it to help them if it is a "guardian of life"?<br /> <br /> [[Category:CoC:Scenarios]]<br /> [[Category:CoC:1920s scenarios]]<br /> [[Category:CoC:Colour out of Space scenarios]]<br /> [[Category:CoC:Scenarios set in Scotland]]<br /> [[Category:CoC:Artefact scenarios]]<br /> [[Category:CoC:Island scenarios]]<br /> [[Category:CoC:Archaeology scenarios]]<br /> [[Category:CoC:Space scenarios]]<br /> [[Category:CoC:Scenarios featuring the Dreamlands]]<br /> [[Category:CoC:Beginner scenarios]]<br /> __NOTOC__</div>

Often, they do not show railways and do not differentiate between major and minor roads.<br /> <br /> There is little information pointing out differences between then and now. It would help the Keeper if there was information on such topics as policing in Scotland and the extent of electrification.<br /> <br /> [[Category:CoC:Supplements]]<br /> __NOTOC__</div>

British folklore harkens back to days of old when early cultures lived alongside strange folk and stranger creatures, when druids and shamans made sacrifices to pantheons of gods both powerful and terrible, and when people celebrated myth and legend in song, art, and oral tradition at the very heart of their civilizations. And those deep roots that so colourfully tell of fantastical creatures, miraculous events, and wondrous deeds also hint and grasp blindly at darker truths. The truth is that folklore can take us behind the veil of reality to glimpse the terrible, alien truths of the universe beyond, capturing vague notions of evil, malevolent beings, their horrible deeds, and the primal fears that they inspire and that have been preserved in Britain’s cultural memory.<br /> <br /> ''Cthulhu Britanica: Folklore'' presents a uniquely British vision of Lovecraftian horror where fairies, witches, and folk traditions intertwine with the dreadful, eldritch powers and otherworldly terrors of the Cthulhu Mythos. The book features:<br /> <br /> * A folklore bestiary, including fairy folk, shape-shifters, giants, little folk, black dogs, dragons, water horses, bodily horrors, and much more<br /> * A folklore calendar and a new 1920s profession—the folklorist—for players<br /> * Detailed sections on using folklore and folk magic for Call of Cthulhu Keepers<br /> * And nine Folklore Mythos threats that can introduced into any scenario or campaign, or used as single-session scenarios<br /> <br /> <br /> --<br /> <br /> The Islands of the United Kingdom are steeped in history, myth, magic and folklore.

From the rolling pastoral Lowlands to the snow-capped peaks of the Highlands and the seaweed-choked Western Isles, creatures and cultures have taken root in Scotland whose maddening, corrupting influence can be felt far and wide. Fiendish things haunt the hive-like alleys and wynds of old Edinburgh, while Glasgow’s streets whisper with rumours of dark terrors in the shipyard shadows on the snaking, poisonous Clyde. And in the isles, murmurs on fishing boats and ferries speak of far older things, of sites of power and standing stones, awakenings and stirrings in forgotten places. Something terrifying lurks in the night, casting dark shadows over Scotland.<br /> <br /> In addition to 6 scenarios (see below), Shadows Over Scotland is very much intended to be a resource for Keepers. There is a wealth of information for creating Scottish scenarios here, including:<br /> <br /> * an '''Introduction to 1920s Scotland''', incorporating:<br /> ** Scotland in the 1920s<br /> ** A Keeper's History of Scotland<br /> ** A Mythos Timeline<br /> ** The Lingo of 1920s Scotland<br /> ** Notable Figures of 1920s Scotland<br /> <br /> * three regional sections--'''The Lowlands''', '''The Highlands''', and '''The Islands''', which include sections on:<br /> ** Geography<br /> ** Culture & People<br /> ** Flora & Fauna<br /> ** Climate<br /> ** Mythos & Scenario Seeds<br /> ** Cities in Detail<br /> ** People & Places of Note<br /> <br /> * and '''six sinister scenarios''':<br /> ** Death and Horror Incorporated<br /> ** The Hand of Abyzou<br /> ** Uisge Beatha ("The Water of Life")<br /> ** Heed the Kraken's Call<br /> ** The Forbidden Isle<br /> ** Star Seed<br /> <br /> * in addition to known Mythos cultures and creatures, the book introduces '''a large number of unique Mythos entities''', such as:<br /> ** ‘Old Maggie’, the Crone of Appin Hill<br /> ** The Thing in the Clyde<br /> ** Sawney Bean<br /> ** The Blue Men of the Minch<br /> ** Bishop Warlock<br /> ** The Floating Horror of Glen Affric<br /> ** ... and others too horrible to mention!<br /> <br /> For each region, '''nine 'Cities in Detail'''' are provided with further discussion of locations, personalities, and Mythos elements. These are:<br /> * Edinburgh, Glasgow and St Andrews for the Lowlands;<br /> * Aberdeen, Inverness and Fort William for the Highlands;<br /> * Kirkwall, Portree, and Stornoway for the Islands.<br /> <br /> <br /> '''Scenarios:''' [[Death And Horror Incorporated]], [[The Hand Of Abyzou]], [[Uisge Beatha ('The Water of Life')]], [[Heed The Kraken's Call]], [[The Forbidden Isle]], [[Star Seed]]<br /> <br /> '''Additional:''' Introduction, History Timeline, Lingo, Notable Figures, Mythos Spells & Items, Index<br /> <br /> ==Front Cover Text==<br /> Cthulhu Brittanica<br /> <br /> Shadows Over Scotland<br /> <br /> A Scotland Sourcebook for Call of Cthulhu by Stuart Boon<br /> <br /> ==Back Cover Text==<br /> Mysterious, wild and beautiful, Scotland in the 1920s is home to horrors modern and ancient, man-made and star-born.
