Occam’s Razor for Call of Cthulhu – Softback

Description

Occam’s Razor – An Anthology of Modern Day Call of Cthulhu Scenarios

Brian M. Sammons presents Occam’s Razor; seven Call of Cthulhu scenarios in a hardback book, all with mundane solutions…the simplest answer is usually the right answer. However, each also contains a Must-Have Mythos section that provides Mythos solutions to the investigation as well. This is the softback version of the book, a hardback version is also available.

Seven Modern-Era Adventures of Mystery and Death

• A Whole Pack of Trouble – A group of film students has gone missing while shooting a found-footage style movie over college break.
• Eye of the Beholder – Five days ago, a young woman disappeared while working on an art project.
• Frozen Footsteps – A Wendigo-obsessed professor heads off to Michigan’s Upper Peninsula for some rare (for him) fieldwork. He discovers far more than he bargained for.
• Dark and Deep – A snuff film is circulating in which a Deep One mauls a woman to death. Using the film’s establishing shots, can the investigators locate the lighthouse it was filmed in, and uncover the truth?
• Visions from Beyond – A friend leaves a late-night voicemail urgently asking for help but doesn’t answer when the investigators call back.
• The Watchers – A woman living alone reaches out to the investigators, claiming she is being watched by unknown people.

• A Cleansing Flame – Investigators are discovering bodies burned to death with no visible signs of a fire starter or accelerant. Can they solve the mystery?
