The Masque of Nyarlathotep - Doctor Who Meets Call of Cthulhu in Renaissance France

[Mr. Handy]

The Masque of Nyarlathotep is the sixth adventure in a campaign combining classic Doctor Who with Call of Cthulhu. The first adventure, The Terror Out of Time, took place in 1930 London. The second, The Ninth Planet, took place on Pluto in 2112. The third, The Shadow Over Dunwich, took place in 1985 in Dunwich, England (a real place, not the fictional Dunwich in America). The fourth, The Brotherhood of Death, was set in Rome in 44 BC. The fifth, The Horror in the Blackout, took place in 1940 London. You may read them if you wish, but you do not need to know anything about them (or about Doctor Who) to play in this adventure, which takes place in southern France in the early 16th century. Surviving characters may become companions and travel in the TARDIS for further adventures. Players will be expected to post at least twice per week, and I intend to match that pace. Players from previous games in this campaign are welcome to return, though except for those playing the Time Lord and his companions, you'll be playing new characters. New players are welcome to create characters as well.

The scenario is already underway, but we're still in the first episode, so it shouldn't be too hard to catch up on what's happened so far. I currently need two replacement players, the first to play Story, the Time Lord, whose new player vanished. To play Story, you don't need to have read the previous adventures (Story regenerated at the end of the last adventure and has temporary partial amnesia). Brook's player has also had to withdraw, so I need a replacement to play her. She was in the first five adventures, but as long as you catch up on what she's done in this adventure, reading her part of the first five adventures can wait until you have time.
