K Peterson Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Has anyone played through this adventure, or read any reviews of it? Any good? I've got a copy of Hellfire, which is quite a brutal adventure - and I'm curious how the Missing Prof compares to it. Would it make a good start to Dark Streets campaign? From its DTRPG page, I see that it's part 1 of the "Terror of the Toad" campaign. Have any other parts been released, or are there any release dates for when the followups are expected? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K Peterson Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Alright, well I guess I'll take a gamble and pick up Missing Prof sight-unseen. I am still curious whether there are other parts of Terror of the Toad in the works. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

K Peterson Posted December 9, 2015 Author Share Posted December 9, 2015 Well, I'll summarize because I don't want to give away any spoilers, and because I haven't studied the adventure in great detail. Basically, the Bow Street Runners (PCs) are asked to assist on a raid of a high-class brothel in London. This turns up clues that lead to an investigation which involves some powerful and wealthy NPCs. The investigation can then involve a trip to a hamlet on the outskirts of London where very bad things are happening. Queue the cultists, the human sacrifice, and a few Mythos beasties. I need to sit down and give Hellfire another read-through. The ending left me thinking, I see a bloody end to some PCs in this adventure.

rsanford Posted December 9, 2015 Share Posted December 9, 2015 Thanks! I am thinking about running this as part of a gritty magic world game I'm running.

doomedpc Posted December 10, 2015 Share Posted December 10, 2015 Apologies for the delay in responding - I've been on holiday (and returned home to power cuts and flooding! I sense occult forces at work, as it has been the worst rainfall in Lancaster for 1000 years or somesuch drivel). Anyhoo, the CotMP should slip in to a DS campaign as either an away mission for the Adventurers or as the beginnings of a campaign in its own right - but as it stands, Part Two of the Terror of the Toad is not complete.

K Peterson Posted August 24, 2016 Author Share Posted August 24, 2016 I did purchase it about 8 months ago. But I'll need to go back and reread it because I don't recall any details from it, unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could give any feedback, both the good and the bad when you do re-read it , it would be appreciated. Don't put yourself out for it though.

rust Posted August 24, 2016 Share Posted August 24, 2016 We did play this adventure almost exactly two years ago, and I really liked it, mainly because it was a fascinating mystery scenario with lots of interesting non-player characters and little violence. 2 Quote "Mind like parachute, function only when open."

Thanks Rust : I built it just for that - The mystery but with options for combat should the group favour that type of play. I wanted to create the aura of threat and feeling of danger rather than violence. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
