And yes I am writing this up for publishing

That was a lot of fun to watch! Really enjoyed everyone's characters, and the paddle boat setting for most of the adventure was a lovely shift from the typical setting of CoC games.

Oh mummy dust! Fun fact: it was actually a thing until the end of the 19th century. Since medieval times, merchants would buy mummy dust from the tomb raiders of Egypt and sell it as a youth elixir. The richest people had it of course, and of course it didn't work 😂 it's one of those Snake Oil things

"didnt work" ahem. How did Queen Victoria LIVE SO LONG... ahem.

I thoroughly enjoyed this scenario. I enjoy the trip down the Nile, and the well-drawn NPC's. Also the PC's were great in and of themselves & together they were even better. And comments in a Call of Cthulhu scenario like: "this has never been seen before" 👌

If you were to publish this as a scenario I have some criticism. I feel like the event inbetween all the big event are all a bit aimless, mostly just enjoying the regular trip, I suggest adding more foreshadowing to the more supernatural element during the inbetween so that the player have thing to do. I would also suggest making a timeline if you haven't already done, since this take place over multiple days. And maybe a general layouts of the ship since that will be where the players spend time in the majority of the scenario. Maybe add a few more name NPC within the ship, the ship feel strangely empty during this, and NPC interaction is common in most CoC scenario. This will make the ship feel less empty and add more way for the player to gather the clue during their stay without having to break into people room, especially when they aren't good at it. More supernatural event, this scenario feel like it could not have the supernatural event and still effectively be the same, if that is your vision please disregard this critic, but in my experience strange stuff attract the player like moth to a flame, this would also give more justification for why their character would be so interested in this and not let the police handle it. And add more description in the scenario, I can't really imagine what the character, place, or event that happen look like in my mind since there is little in the way of description other than the basic information, but I feel like it could help the Game Master and Player be more immerse in this unique setting.

Hey! Thanks for the above. I have a whole dearth of information in my prep that was ready to go but we ended up fast tracking to 4 sessions rather than 5 because of a few weeks missed and I had to skip over some things. There was a completely missed day in between where DP runs out of treatment and reverts to his true age which isnt 85... (shh) and a sub plot where Sobek and his servant show up. But we ran out of time

Everyone always asks where is the amphora. No one ever asks "HOW" is the amphora 😣😣😫😫😔😔

What would happen if Sobek did successfully awaken?
