I ran my players through Blackwater Creek updated to 1969. The Carmody brothers were growing tainted pot in a greenhouse hidden behind their cornfield, and the smoke from the tainted plants would pass on the corruption. It was a fun update to get around the prohibition context. After my players found and blasted the cave, one of them went insane while being attacked by Brendan Carmody and broke and ran into the woods. It took hours for the other player characters to find him, giving the locals enough time to figure out what happened to their mother and send their own shotgun-wielding search parties into the woods. At one point, one of my players pushed and crit failed a persuasion roll when they were trying to talk a phone operator into sending help, which eventually led to Delta Green sending in a helicopter to napalm the town as the players were trying to escape. It was a good time. A bus full of hippies had just purchased a large amount of tainted pot and heavily implied they were going to pass it around at Woodstock, so we might have a sequel if my player characters survive to August.

I've run this as mob twice, and it's a great introductory adventure. I would recommend the mob boss task them with EITHER winning the bad guys over to the boss' side, OR destroying the farm if the brothers won't agree to work for the boss. This sets up some fun first meeting between the party and the brothers, and when they inevitably refuse (when they find out the boss doesn't have as big a distribution network as the one they are using) the players will devise a way to destroy the still and farm - but it always goes hilariously wrong.

One idea I have for this scenario is to have half your players take the Miskatonic investigators hook and the other half the bootleggers. Give them a hook that will ensure the two groups run into each other, once they arrive at Blackwater Creek, say the Sheriff make both spend a night in lockup together. They start off a bit at cross purposes but as the true nature of the town becomes clearer teaming up becomes the best way for them to survive and if this is the start of a campaign you can move on with this odd couple sort of team.

Coca Cola had alot of local bottling plants in the 30s and 40s. Your PCs might have tainted local cokes. The bottles would get mixed over time so even if the PCs got a bottle with a different town it might still be bottled locally.

I dunno, if a char goes out of their way to avoid drinking tainted things by choosing to only drink sodas etc, having it still be tainted kinda takes away from their own choices "Try to not get infected by not drinking the water? Well, you get tainted anyway"

I feel like I've seen that disconnect is progression in a few places, where the effects on the locals and the effects on the players don't match up. It's pretty much the TTRPG version of ludo-narrative dissonance; long exposure and a slow decline makes sense from a story perspective, but that timeframe would make it all but impossible for the players to potentially experience the full range of effects within the adventure, and so the mechanics speeds it up to make it a viable threat to them, even if it does raise questions on how the PCs seem to be progressing so much faster than the locals.
@dutch6857
@dutch6857 Год назад
Hmm... The mythos equivalent to childhood exposure to germs? Just living in that valley strengthened the locals 'immune system', whereas outsiders are as vulnerable to the mythos influence as the New World was to European diseases? Off the top of my head. (Thinking about it, I'm not wild about that idea. If anything I would think that growing up in BWC would make one more fragile. That the mythos is more akin to lead poisoning than a viral infection. To me at least.)

One of my favourite scenarios for 7e. I do wish there was a bit information in the book about what happens to the villagers after the mother dies. I did something similar to you, with the sheriff whipping the others into a murderous frenzy, but I let the investigators convince most of them to go home and rebuild their lives. Sherriff and a few diehards wouldn't back down and lead to a final firefight to end the session.

Adding the weird guy and his mom from the student variant was totally the best advice you guys gave!! My players were scrambling and freaking out. Had the house more abandoned, they were more scared of the random raccoon that stole a sandwich than of the mom 😂 they didn’t go up to see her though, they called that crap immediately

I loved the first review and love it more in your recent style, it’s ironically how I found your channel after looking for advice for running it and was recommended that video after agreeing to be a keeper and run a game of Cthulhu for my friends, be my first game as a keeper/dm in general, I’m think of making Henry Roades more of a considered holy artifact to the cult like the consort of the current vessel of the mother, making Sprouston wanting the Carmody brothers taken down is both for the mother tainted alcohol so he can spread the gift himself and to gain the consort of their god, to tie this up I’m gonna make the University start npc McTavish a recently converted cultist of Shub after drinking a bottle offered to him by Sprouston to spread the mothers gift after he came by to check on the dig(also as an idea to show infighting in the cult since its only three months old and the hierarchy isn’t set in stone yet so some are fighting for the high priest position)so when he sends the investigators to find Roades he just wants to get his hands on Roades as the consort of his god not as his coworker and maybe even ask for more alcohol cause the university is having a meeting in a week to discuss plans for the new semester and that would serve as a great chance to get members of high society incorporated into the cult, of course he’ll ask for it on the basis that moonshiners make the best alcohol and the speakeasy is charging too much and it’d be easier to just pay someone to get him the bottles instead of spending 40 bucks on a glass since it’s so popular and sells out fast,I will obviously be using a lot of the other ideas you brought up to add to this, loved the updated video

I ran Blackwater Creek as a one shot for some friends over this weekend and I wish I'd found this video beforehand because the ideas are great. My investigators really bum-rushed the place (probably because they were aware of the time constraints), so they went from Blackwater itself, to the Jarvey's, to the camp, to the cave and that was all they saw of the place. Three of the five investigators died (though one didn't stay dead) and it ended with the survivors running to their car being chased by the Sheriff and townsfolk. Everyone had fun but if I get the opportunity to run it again I'll definitely be borrowing some ideas here.

Great review, as always. Pesonally, I'm glad you're keeping the old videos. I've never run Blackwater Creek but you've put a neat, fresh perspective on it. I also like how you talk about adapting the scenario for other places. Have you ever thought about ideas for adapting it for other eras: Invictus, Dark Ages, Down Darker Trails, Gaslight, and even Modern? I'd be interested in hearing your ideas on that. The second half of the scenario you did sounds just perfect and really creepy. Excellent addition if investigators leave and return again. I also love the connections you make between this scenario and other scenarios. Well done.

Hey Seth! I'm running this investigation for a group and was doing some research on how the "Dunwich Horror" story fits into the timeline of Blackwater Creek. It turns out that all the events from Wilbur Whatley's attempt to steal Miskatonic's copy of the Necronomicon to the demise of the Dunwich Horror takes place from August 1st (Lammas) to September 23rd, 1928 (September Equinox of that year). Coincidentally (??) the Blackwater Creek investigation starts on September 24th. I plan on dropping some rumors and Arkham Advertiser articles regarding the effects of moonshine from Dunwich, and a guard dog killing a strange burglar in a wing of the Orne Library. If the team goes through the village of Dunwich, there will be a battered village in confusion and disarray after the "incident".

13:40 Sounds like a scene one could recreate in Hunt: Showdown if the AI was actually aggressive. I tried to run this and a couple of other scenarios with my friend but boy it's hard to get a consistent party with them, and since I can't get consistent play I can't GM that much, or ever, meaning that every single new attempt feels like backtracking to step 1 and it's rather exausting.

I ran this scenario along with Dead Light. They pair up nicely.

I had two players be members of Rhodes expedition who had gone temporarily crazy and killed the old Sheriff, kinda skipping the sheriff being the priest now, as well. I thought it fit the Children of the Corn vibes. The rest were mobsters who picked them up trying to get answers. One went insane and two adventurers died trying to dynamite the Mother. They were monsters so one just filled soon as he could.

I'm glad you took the time to type up a proper transcript, because I couldn't figure out what a "Mythosaur" was (at 2:45).

I cant believe I've been watching you for 6.5 years. It seems like last year, maybe 2 ago you uploaded blackwater creek. I guess time does fly.

I watched this and found out much later that it was a new video. I have been bench watching your CoC reviews and I find them very interesting. I just got my first taste of CoC couple of weeks ago, but as I am usually the DM I have been watching your videos to get Ideas where or what games I might want to run. I hope to hear more of these or any RPG-related things you do. Some of the channels I used to watch suddenly haven't made anything in multiple months and I am starved out of content.

Never played this game but have listened to many scenarios that you have ran and reviewed. I'm gonna have to give it a go. You put me onto Traveller and I'm very glad I found your videos! I still send my new players to your Traveller series. You did an amazing job explaining what was in store. Another great video Seth and Jack!

This is the adventure I'm prepping right now! Thanks, man. Good as the old video was, the new stuff will be really handy. Way better picture quality, and Jack is always good. (New viewers don't get to learn ren fair slang, though)

Fin Raziel saying "Willow" has been stuck in my head since the spoiler warning. Wonder if the Carmody brothers have a trivial connection to Mrs. Carmody from "The Mist" novella.
