Chaosium hatte vor einiger Zeit Lizenzen vergeben und nun kann man die Ernte bewundern. Super Genius Games hat ein 32seitiges Szenario mit dem Titel “Murder of Crows” (zunächst nur als pdf) veröffentlicht und es soll nicht das letzte Werk sein:

Escondido, CA (May 21, 2008) – Super Genius Games (SGG) proudly announces “Murder of Crows” the first in a line of officially licensed Call of Cthulhu roleplaying adventures for use with the Chaosium, Inc.’s classic game of Lovecraftian horror.
“The adventure is set in 1920’s New England and blends a classic approach to Cthulloid adventure with a modern presentation of game information, making it fun to play and easy to run, perfect for today’s Keeper,” said Stan!, Creative Director for Super Genius Games and author of Murder of Crows.
When the crows of Bethlehem, New Hampshire start attacking people at the height of the tourist season, the investigators are called in to figure out why and uncover who or what is behind it all. Tense investigation combined with disturbing Mythos themes makes Murder of Crows an adventure that’s both fun and nerve jangling.
“Murder of Crows is an excellent stand-alone adventure,” said Hyrum Savage, President of Super Genius Games. “However, if when you’re done, you later play The Doom from Below, the second Call of Cthulhu adventure SGG will release, you’ll find a number of plot threads linking the two. Both books will present high-quality, one-night, stand-alone adventures, but Keepers who want to create an over arching storyline will find they have all the necessary tools.”

Can they save the town of Bethlehem from a disaster of biblical proportions?
Murder of Crows contains everything a Call of Cthulhu group needs for an evening’s worth of Mythos-inspired fun, including pregenerated characters. It is the first in an innovative new series of Call of Cthulhu scenarios and supplements from Super Genius Games.

Klingt interessant. Auch klassisch, aber mal ein anderer Ansatz als das typisch-Lovecräftige.
Wenn wir hier allerdings bei D&D wären würde mich die Aussage mit dem “fun to play and easy to run, perfect for today’s Keeper” beunruhigen…
