Call of Cthulhu: Intimate Encounters - RPG Review

A serial killer who removes the fat from their victims stalks the city, and the Player Characters are tasked to stop them. Written by Oscar Rios, the adventure appears in 2016's 'The Things We Leave Behind' from Stygian Fox, a collection of 6 scenarios for mature audiences. Here are my tips and criticisms for it.

Guest starring Jack the NPC

[@MrJHM007]

I cannot help but wonder... are there any scenarios where there

[@SpartanXLVIII]

When I ran this adventure, I had the monster start hacking stuff in town to try and slow them down as they went to where it was hiding in the industrial park. Stuff like overloading phones to explode and hurt players and/or nearby NPCs, hijacking smartcars and trying to have those hit the PCs, etc. and I also described the air above the industrial park glowing blue due to the air being ionized a’la the Chernobyl disaster (the Chernobyl series was airing at the time and so I used that as inspiration), to hint at the severity of whats going on.

[@MrBufellow]

It is pretty funny as a physicist seeing all the physics wrong with this, but this is actually a really well written scenario aside from that. If I end up running this for my players (also physicists), I'll have to adapt all the science to make it actually work but I'm actually kind of excited to give this a try!

[@jollyredgiant203]

This might be Jack's funniest script yet 🤣

[@darcyw156]

I have watched many of Seth's actual plays, and he is always a great player. I know it is a ton of extra work to add Jack and the other characters Seth, thanks for not dropping them after all this time. I thoroughly enjoy the little extra they bring to your vids. Another great video!

[@woobackwednesday2299]

I ran this last month as my first ever scenario and let's just say that I managed to give my players the heebie-jeebs when I made the guardian show them a Google Streetview of where they were :)

[@evilminion4989]

It was that damned Papy van Winkle...

[@zeehond23]

Loved the gcp playthrough, you using the drone really stumped Troy!

[@drsunshineaod2023]

Actually, the bullet points

[@johncook158]

I was sold on The things we leave Behind by your coverage of Ladybug which I adapted into a Vampire the Masquerade story. It is a true joy to read.

[@rushmw]

It may not be a perfect scenario, but the actual play Seth did with the Glass Cannon Network sure was close. Not only was it a real treat to see Seth play and interact with the guys, but then to see they really did have good chemistry together was such a bonus.

[@PhoenixThunderheart]

My players helped the entity get home. They worked with "Billy" to construct the portal device so that it wouldn't explode. Billy thanked them and promised to keep in touch.

Loved getting to see you play this on Glass Cannon. I did it with a Delta Green game. Much different outcome as an FBI investigation. We, um, struck a deal with it. And took the device into the research division. No justice for victims.

[@theinevitable77]

How to handle intimate interactions as a GM would be a useful guide.

[@thehermitthetower1126]

I'm going to rewatch that intimate encounters game, yall were THE best news crew ever

[@Kevlar-78]

That Glass Cannon scenario was hilarious. I was dying with laughter watching it.

[@vanessaeve925]

Yes!!! I've been waiting for this ever since I watched you play it with Glass Cannon!

[@MichaelB-jw5po]

This was one of my favorite scenarios from The Things We Leave Behind. I really liked the "X-files monster of the week" feel of it.
