Q. Most Recently Played?
A. Trail of Cthulhu, Eternal Lies
Over the last three years I've had the privilege of playing through "Eternal Lies" for Trail of Cthulhu with Dr Mitch and Rich. We're playing it as a duo, which Dr Mitch's Antiques specialist Benjamin travelling globally with my character, Lotte, a journalist. It's intense, and there is nowhere to hide with two people. We both know each other's characters well, and are fans of them.
This week, a situation arose where both characters were nearly killed in a brutal attempt at robbery. Both of us were thinking 'Oh no, not like this'. There's a lot invested in the story and the characters and I recognise that they may not make it to the end of the journey. We have deliberately left breadcrumbs so others can take up the fight if we fail.
Rich's gamesmastering is superb, and he's delivered one of the most intense and enjoyable roleplaying experiences that I've ever had. I sometimes find that I get more out of games when most of the players are GMs as well; perhaps that's because you end up more sensitive to what the GM is trying to achieve and lean into it?
Gumshoe works like a dream in this campaign.
