No Time to Scream is a collection of three one-shot scenarios for Call of Cthulhu, perfect for an evening or three of spooky gaming.

Newly out from Chaosium, No Time to Scream. This is a collection of three short scenarios for Call of Cthulhu. If you want a little more eldritch horror in your life this spooky season, you’ve come to the right place. These are perfect little nuggets of horror. Each adventure is designed to be played in about two hours or so, and comes with pre-generated characters, full-color maps, and of course, handouts to draw players in.

Whether you’re an old hand at Call of Cthulhu or looking to give your friends something new to sink their tentacles into, No Time to Scream is a perfect little slice of horrors.

No Time to Scream – Three Harrowing Call of Cthulhu Scenarios In One Easy Book

Holidays are perfect for trying out new things. If you want a break from the usual routine of your ongoing campaign, I find a one-shot, especially a themed one-shot, to be the antidote for the gaming grind blues. Variety is the spice of life, after all. Or is it melange? Either way, in No Time to Scream, you get these fast-paced scenarios that will challenge players.

All of the adventures share a common theme: a racing clock. With that in mind, Keepers will find some extra tools to help keep the game moving, as well as some help for adding more investigators for bigger group play.

Here’s a taste of the three different scenarios:

  • A Lonely Thread – Something is wrong with Professor Thomas. Unfortunately, you didn’t know that when you arrived at his charming woodland cabin. Can you act in time your friend? Or will a horrific secret devour all?
  • Bits & Pieces – A doctor’s body lies next to an autopsy table, and the corpse he was examining has vanished! The only clue is a set of bloody footprints. A devilish game of hide and seek ensues – with gory consequences.
  • Aurora Blue – A band of U.S. Treasury agents raid an illegal whiskey distillery hidden in Alaska’s Chugach Mountains. The sun is setting… and that’s when the really bad things come out to play.

Good luck out there, the evenings can be… chilly indeed.
