The Snake's Oil Part One - Call of Cthulhu Actual Play

Millie and Jaker have arrived in the town of Bloodstone to find the western town in the midst of a snake festival. Against the background of this celebration of all things ophidian, there's a lot of frontier gossip about a daughter of Bloodstone who's returned, and is selling a health tonic called "Yistler's Youth Serum". Is this a marvel of modern medicine in the Old West, or just some hokey snake oil? Join our investigators as they try to find out!   

"The Snake's Oil" is a module written by Michael Frank and the rest of the crew of Under the Library. It takes place in their sandbox setting of Bloodstone, and the pregen characters are created by the cast.   Want to play it at your table?

Call of Cthulhu is a TTRPG system based on the cosmic horror genre of literature, often associated with H.P. Lovecraft. For the last 40 years, Sandy Petersen and the folks at Chaosium have been improving and expanding the game, letting players use the Basic Roleplaying system to confront the unknown. Unlike other TTRPGs, players in Call of Cthulhu take the roles of regular people in over their heads against powerful beings that they can barely even fathom.  Interested in playing?
