The Dead Boarder

The Dead Boarder is a one-shot scenario included in the Gateways to Terror collection for the Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition roleplaying game. It is ideal for beginning and experienced players and Keepers alike. Originally, The Dead Boarder was designed as a demonstration game to give a taste of the game's core motifs—mystery, investigation, and horror—for those with limited time. The scenario can be played in as little as one hour but can be expanded for slightly longer play, and comes with four ready-made investigators so you can jump right into the action! The Dead Boarder includes hints and tips for Keepers new and old, suggestions for additional investigators for larger groups, and a summary of the key rules needed to play.
The Dead Boarder - And, what has happened to that nice, quiet neighbor of yours? You’ve not seen hide nor hair of him in days! He wasn’t always the friendliest of sorts, but he did seem very pious, what with all the late-night prayers coming from his room…
