Viral: Unredacted – A Modern Call of Cthulhu Scenario

Join Marco Proudfoot, host of the successful YouTube channel The Spektral Krew, as he and his fellow paranormal investigators journey to an island off the coast of Sicily to explore its very dark past. The only public information is a pixelated satellite map and a pile of redacted documents, but a little digging on the Dark Web has revealed something far more sinister. What better way to make their final push for one million subscribers than to stream their investigation live from the island! The Krew hopes to find evidence of the paranormal, but what they discover is so much more horrific than just orbs of dust and incoherent voices in the static.

Viral is a scenario set in the modern era, and is designed to be run in one, two, or more sessions, depending on the Keeper’s preference. The scenario includes the background history of the island, a timeline of events, information to create an immersive ghost-hunting experience, detailed location descriptions, five pre-generated characters, new spell, new Mythos tome, new Sanity rules, thirty-four pages of player handouts, five detailed full-color maps, and much, much more.

“A fantastic example of how to do a modern day (Call of Cthulhu) adventure right.” – Seth Skorkowsky

“A highly original, superbly produced and insidiously chilling modern Call of Cthulhu scenario that raises the bar for creativity and production values among Miskatonic Repository scenarios.” – RPG.net

NOTE: Viral has been updated and now contains 14 pages of new material including an extended Prologue and an optional expanded ending. The new prologue (One Night in Perla) give the Spektral Krew the opportunity to explore the nearby fishing village of Perla where they can learn even more about the secrets surrounding the cursed Isola di Malamente. The optional ending sets the characters up for an ongoing campaign, or the upcoming sequel: Quarantine.

WARNING: Viral is intended for mature audiences. The Keeper and players should be aware that this scenario contains situations, scenes, and imagery that some might find intense, particularly if they have experienced any real life trauma.

Viral: A Modern Call of Cthulhu Scenario is available through DriveThruRPG in Print and PDF.
