Many thanks to Necropolis' author Leigh Carr

A bit of background: last year my wife asked me to run an rpg for her family, including her 99 years old grandma ! I ran a DCC adventure, and she enjoyed it (my wife was supposed to explain what RPGs were to her but forgot to do so: not a problem as her grandmother immediately grasped what our hobby was all about).

Fast forward one year, this time I got to run another game, this time exclusively for my wife and her grandmother (now a 100 years old! Is that a Guiness record? Who cares 🙂

This time I ran them through the Necropolis and it was a blast. Both really enjoyed the game as it was short but at the same time condensed everything I like about Call of Cthulhu: investigation, horror and the need to use brains rather than brawn. This last part was particularly appreciated by my wife's grandmother has she enjoyed the fact that she had to think on her feet and take some risks. Being born in 1922 she especially enjoyed playing a game taking place in 1924 🙂

To make the game easier to grasp I printed all maps and some images grabbed from the internet and used three miniatures (the characters and the monster) .

Oh, almost forgot one thing: their characters made it out alive!

So thanks to Leigh Carr and everyone involved in the making of this awesome adventure. You made a 100 years old grandmother and her granddaughter enjoy a game together ^^
