The Moving Star

ADD TO WISHLIST >

A slow burn Call of Cthulhu scenario set in a cyberpunk future.

The year is 2936. Almost half of Earth’s land is now a watery and icy wasteland, but thanks to the discovery of wormhole technology humans have been exploring outer space. For the last 200 years humanity has colonized a planet christened ‘Spero’, where 70% of the human race now lives.

Board The Moving Star, the largest commercial spacecraft travelling between Earth and Spero - we at The Moving Star promise you a journey you will never forget.


Key Points:

  • For Call of Cthulhu 7th edition.

  • Players are a band of famous detectives who get caught up in a strange case of disappearances. Think Agatha Christie meets Under the Skin.

  • For 2 to 4 players, best suited for those already acquainted with Call of Cthulhu, this scenario includes new rules allowing investigators to have cyborg enhancements, and includes a number of red herrings which might trip-up new players.

  • Game Length 12 to 18 hours, best played in 5 or 6 sessions of 2 to 3 hours.

  • LGBTQIA+ friendly. In this futuristic world people of the LGBTQIA+ community are normalized in society at large. Thanks in part to the popularity and normalization of body modifications in mainstream society non-binary and transgender people are seen as commonplace. However this is not an utopian future, human conflict still exists but this scenario avoids some of the problems and limitations of playing LGBTQIA+ investigators in classic Call of Cthulhu time periods like the 1920s.

  • Encourages Diversity. Because the landscape of Earth has changed so drastically people from different ethnic backgrounds have been brought together. Societies are now more ethnically mixed. Again, this is not a utopian future, conflict still exists between people of different socio-economic backgrounds, theological beliefs and between Earth-born and Spero-born citizens, however players are free to play ethnically diverse investigators without roleplaying historic, or current, racial conflicts.

 

Included in this scenario:

  • 43-page PDF including front and back cover

  • 18 handouts including 1 floorplan in both a Secret Keeper and Player version, illustrations, diagrams and photographs, and a 1-page ship welcome sheet for passengers

  • A separate file of handouts for you to print at home or use online

  • Basic stats for 9 Non-Player Characters

  • A suggested playlist of 13 atmospheric Synthwave tracks

Content Warning: this scenario references an ancient Greek story of rape, makes allusions to sexual activity and contains classical paintings of nude women.

(Excerpted from a larger review on my blog): The Moving Star is presented as a “slow burn Call of Cthulhu scenario set in a Cyberpunk future.” That it is. In spite of the being only 43 pages long (including front & back cover), I imagi [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
