Call of Cthulhu 7E RPG: Alone Against the Tide (Softcover)
Manufacturer:
Chaosium
Set in the 1920s, Alone Against the Tide is a solo horror adventure for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game. You take on the role of an investigator traveling to the affluent, scenic, and remote lakeside town of Esbury, Massachusetts. You decide your pathway through the story by choosing from the options presented. Your choices not only affect what happens to your investigator, but also the fate of Esbury's residents and visitors - even the town itself!
You may choose to create your own investigator or use the ready-to-play investigator, Dr. E. Woods, a professor of archaeology from Miskatonic University. There are a variety of reasons for visiting Esbury, but almost all are tied in some way to Esbury resident, Professor William Harris.
What has Professor Harris' research got to do with the strange green fog enveloping the town? Who are the menacing, dark-suited men that arrived on the ferry with your investigator? And, why is a Buddhist monk visiting Esbury, a town more used to entertaining New England's wealthy elite?
Armed with a pencil, some roleplaying dice, and a copy of the Call of Cthulhu: Keeper Rulebook or the Call of Cthulhu Starter Set, you are ready to brave the mist-shrouded streets of Esbury.

Fun, Solo Adventure
I love these solo play Call of Cthulhu adventures. I think they offer enough replayability that you can play them several times over. The story of this one will be familiar to fans of the Call of Cthulhu system as well as HPL in general.

Surprising Use of Mythos
I played one session so far, as a group of 4 (Keeper/Narrator, the Protagonist Investigator, and two pre-gen character sheets from online). This adventure worked really well when scaling it up for a large group. We liked this one a lot since it had more of an investigative element to it, and was more inviting for the investigators to take risks. A surprising twist is that the story does not rehash material from Shadow Over Innsmouth. There are some hints and similarities to Innsmouth to throw off the investigators, and we were pleasantly surprised to see it go in a different direction of a lesser-known Mythos.
