In the Spring of 1877, three men arrived in the village of Saltmarsh in Washington Territory. Each of them had goals and aspirations of their own, but they would soon be thrown together by the strange events that surrounded that isolated town on the Pacific coast.

On February 2, I started a new campaign online, tentatively named Northwest Pacific Fears, for Down Darker Trails. We're starting off using the Advanced Dungeons and Dragons scenario "The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh" as well as the D&D campaign "Ghosts of Saltmarsh" adapted to Call of Cthulhu in the American west.

The roleplaying game of the game session is here:

On February 6, I ran another online game of Cthulhu Dark ages, using Cthulhu Invictus to relate the scenario "Thulian Echoes" to the Dark Ages readers.
