Alone Against the Tide
I’ve been on a bit of a “solo module” kick lately. They’re a
very different take on Solo gaming than what I’m used to, but still a number of
them are really fun. For some reason, Call of Cthulhu seems to have a
good number of these, and most of them are really solid. Which shouldn’t be
that much of a surprise. A lone investigator confronting horrors Man Was Not
Meant To Know is far more in the Lovecraftian wheelhouse than, say, “disparate
team of mercenaries, spies, Occult Scholars and the idle rich put aside their
differences to save the world.”
One of the newer ones I haven’t had a chance to play yet is Alone
Against the Tide by Nicholas Johnson. It’s gotten some great reviews and sounds
like a classic setup. The PC is sent to the small town of Esbury, Massachusetts
following the death of Professor William Harris. The rules only require the 7th
Edition Quick Start Rules (available Here) and the player
creates their PC during the module. That’s
about all I know, so let’s get started!
It probably goes without saying that the following, being an Actual Play of the module, is just about ALL SPOILERS. Proceed with care.
