The Esoteric Order of Roleplayers

[Achtung Cthulhu] Character Creation and Campaign Intro

The Order convenes for a new campaign, set in the world of Modiphius Games' Achtung! Cthulhu. 

Character creation precedes the start of the scenario proper...

It is July, 1939, and a covert mission to occupied Bohemia brings together a startling variety of characters to investigate the mystery of Karlstein Castle and make contact with the resistance group known as the "Three Kings".

[Castle Falkenstein] Character Creation

The Esoteric Order begins a short but hopefully fruitful assignation with the classic steampunk/fantasy RPG, Castle Falkenstein. And yes, this is three solid hours of character creation, but it's mostly story spinning and character development, so hopefully it will be worth a listen.
