What Rough Beast

SOMETHING FOUL HAS COME TO ALABAMA.

In the spring of 1929, something was flung from a train passing through Cleburne County, Alabama.  Now, only a few months later, it comes seeking revenge for its misfortune, and its sights are set on the inhabitants of the tiny village near the tracks where it fell.   Can the youths of the town stop the terror that has come to Sanguis?

What Rough Best  is a Jazz-Age scenario set in rural Alabama wherein the investigators are a few of the young teens of a tiny, unincorporated village suddenly threatened by an evil that won’t rest until everyone there is dead.  The scenario focuses on a more traditional evil whose roots are dripping in blood and misery that it wants to spread.

What Rough Beast was originally written as a campaign scenario and details the tiny village of Sanguis, Alabama, and most of the people within.  The Call of Cthulhu scenario is set in the summer of 1929 and written for investigators who are little more than children.  Can they stop what rough beast comes to their town and threatens them all?
