The Folly of Ponsonby-Wild

The Folly of Ponsonby-Wild is the first Scenario in a four part classic 1920s Call of Cthulhu campaign, A Very British Horror.

Set in England, a group of people are invited to the funeral of their old friend’s husband. But his death is not all that it seems. This man was embroiled in a dark cult whose tendrils reach far into the heart of the British establishment. Through a series of horrifying events and clues discovered around the hotel in which they are staying, the investigators slowly uncover the truth behind the sudden death and glimpse fragments of the truth behind the Cult of P’Nath.

Life sucking creatures from beyond our world, malevolent entities beyond our comprehension, and portals to unseen realities all play a part in this story. As does a delicious cream tea in a delightful country setting.

18 pages of scenario and information, 9 pages of high quality handouts and maps, and five pre-generated characters to use at your discretion are included in the book, as well as a campaign overview to give the keeper an understanding of where this episode fits into the overarching plot. Subsequent scenarios are: The Wombwell Stones (available now!), The Secret of Stourgate and The Veil of P’Nath.

This scenario can just as easily be run as a stand alone episode or assimilated into your ongoing game.
