Boston, Massachusetts, 1920. A team of professional and amateur detectives have volunteered for the task of looking into a 'haunted' house. The pay is good, $20 a day each, and well, it'll all be sorted out with something simple.

Or so we all hope.

Call of Cthulhu is the Cosmic Horror role playing game placing players as normal people in a normal world with small, local problems. But investigation leads to discovery, and discovery leads to more mystery, as stranger and more difficult to reconcile things are experienced, the investigators question their beliefs and their very sanity.

The Haunting is the senario included with the quick start rules for 7th ed Call of Cthulhu, but no game knowledge is needed, as it's explicitly for new players.

You will need a set of roleplaying dice, pencils and notepaper. As a horror game we will be using safety tools of Lines and Veils and X Card.
