I ran a one-shot Call of Cthulhu game over Skype for some friends who really wanted to play.  It was kind of an experiment as I'd never run a game online before.  We played "The Last Voyage of the Ivory Pride," a scenario I found online and printed out years ago (and I don't think is available anymore) and didn't finish so we have to figure out when the next session will be.  Can four Americans survive a trip on a tramp steamer when strange pygmies and other horrible creatures attack?

I ran (part of) another one-shot for my Call of Cthulhu group, this one taking place in the State of Rhode Island in 1778, during the American Revolution.  "Madness or Death: The Nickerbocker's Tale" sees characters investigating a local landowner who might be a loyalist and working with the British holding nearby Newport.  Is the man guilty, or is something more sinister going on?

With the beginning of the fall semester, I started the 1920s Providence, R.I. Campaign I began some time ago.  It has been two months since the investigators, along with Quincy Washington, returned from Lonely Point Lighthouse.  Quincy has been pressing Detective Sherman to investigate the terrors that happened to him at the Arthur Mitchell House in East Providence for some time but the man was simply too busy.  As spring turns to summer in late May of 1926, it is time …
