I just released my 1988 Call of Cthulhu hiking adventure.

It's late September, 1988. After nearly five months of backpacking, you and your thru hiker friends finally set off on that last isolated stretch of the Appalachian Trail - Maine's 100 Mile Wilderness. As you near the end, approaching the shadow of Mount Katahdin, among the spruce, pine, & vibrant autumn maples, you discover horror and terror. 

Mount Katahdin's Shadow is a 1980s Call of Cthulhu scenario set in the evergreen and autumn colored wild country of one of Maine's most challenging hiking trails.  Players will find an isolated wilderness, a brutal crime scene, and cosmic terror.

Vetted by over thirty play testers at three TTRPG conventions using a four hour version, Keepers found it ran best with with three to five characters. As written, however, this scenario is designed to run for six to eight hours, but methodical problem solvers and/or Keepers wishing to run more optional scenes may find a ten+ hour time frame more appropriate.

*A video trailer is available on the preview page.

I mean, this was basically me in 1988. The whole feel is very nostalgic.
