 === Organization:  The Carnacki Institute ===
-The Carnacki Institute is a nominally private organization suitable for linking PC investigators together with academic, scientific, and occult resources and experts, especially those involved in tracking and investigating seemingly supernatural phenomena such as psychic abilities/experiences, apparent hauntings, [[Cryptozoology|cryptozoological sightings]], and other such activity of a more paranormal nature than a strictly scientific one.  The Carnacki Institute is partly funded and by extension partly and loosely controlled by the government, allowing the institute's resources to be deployed with plausible deniability to investigate cases that the British government might not want to be seen paying public attention to.

-The Carnacki Institute is a fictional creation of writers expanding on the universe created by English pulp writer [[William Hope Hodgson]] in his "[[Carnacki|Carnacki the Ghost-Finder]]" supernatural detective stories.
+The setting is perhaps a little more optimistic than typical Call of Cthulhu, in that experienced and powerful "A Team" investigators are expected to routinely defeat powerful threats, and might routinely brag and make wise-cracks before defeating a monster-of-the-week.  On the other hand, the setting sometimes implies a paranoid aspect in regards to the organization's leadership:  investigators might be treated like sacrificial pawns in a game of cosmic chess played by callous and desperate Carnacki Institute leader amateurs against an eldritch-horror chess master accessing the game from beyond time and space; the organization might keep the investigators in the dark about exactly what sort of threat they are being sent to deal with, what the Institute really knows about it, and what role the investigators are really expected to play in studying it or defeating it it.  Investigators are just as likely to find that they are over-qualified guinea pigs in a dangerous experiment as they are to find that they are exactly the confident, capable professional scientists and exterminators they believe themselves to be.
