New Tales of Miskatonic Valley, which marks the return of Keith Herber to writing and editing for Call of Cthulhu, is a new collection of scenarios taking place in the Lovecraft Country of the Miskatonic River Valley in the 1920’s.  \nThis scenario uses locations appearing in Chaosium’s Kingsport sourcebook (published as Kingsport, The City in the Mists and H.P. Lovecraft's Kingsport). The sourcebook is not required to run this scenario. Keepers can adapt the scenario to another setting; most of the scenario takes place in a nightmare world, and the real world locations can easily appear in any number of locales. It can also be set in another time.  \nThe Investigators will be plunged into the psychodrama of a veteran’s anguished mind for three nights in a row. During the day, the Investigators can seek clues into the full nature of McKenna’s turmoil. These clues will help the Investigators find McKenna’s dream self and alleviate his suffering. If the Investigators do not bring the former soldier solace, the waking world still returns to normal when he dies in his hospital bed.  \nIn the nightmares, the Investigators will face numerous tests involving Stability. Many of these will be potential losses from destabilizing events, while others are tests to navigate and understand the dreamscape; these second tests are similar to the ones required in casting spells and resisting them. While the second type of Stability test does not necessarily entail a Stability loss for failure (though it may cause a test to avoid such a loss), there will usually be some negative consequence. Even if the Keeper does not typically reveal Difficulty Numbers of tests, it is advisable to make clear the difference between the types of tests when calling for them so that players can choose to spend or not accordingly.  \nA few things will mitigate some of the constant threat of Stability loss. Each morning, a portion of  \nStability points lost during the previous night’s nightmare will be regained. Also, some of the tests to interact with the nightmare battlefield can be made with Sense Trouble instead, a useful option for Investigators who can avail themselves of it. And veterans will have an easier time making tests to avoid Stability loss against horrors similar to what they experienced during the war.  \nKeeper Information  \nWillson McKenna, troubled war veteran (Page 106)  \nAthletics 2, Firearms 3, Fleeing 3, Health 6, Sense Trouble 5, Struggling 4, Weapons 2  \nHit Threshold: 3  \nWeapon: -2 (fist)  \nInvestigator Information  \n(Page 106)  \n• The Keeper should determine which Investigators, if any, fought in the Great War. Any who are veterans retain their rank in the dream, and in addition test Stability against a difficulty of 3 for non-supernatural events.  \n• The Keeper also needs to keep track of each Investigators Stability pool loss, as when the dream ends the overall totals are halved, since it’sjust a dream.  \n• The supernatural events in the nightmares conjured by McKenna’s anguished mind do not cause Mythos shocks, so Sanity should not be lost during the Night War. Also, the Difficulty Number to encounter the nightmare creatures is the 4.  \nNight One:  \nThe Night War Begins  \nThe Dream  \n(Page 108)  \n• Greatcoats reduce damage from small knives, improvised weapons, fists, or clubs by 1 point. Helmets reduce damage from bullets and cutting or slashing weapons by 2 points, and from clubs or blunt trauma by 1 point. Generally speaking, blunt weapons are reduced by 1 point regardless of where a target wearing  \nboth items is hit. The Keeper can decide where bullets and cutting or slashing weapons hit.  \n• Charging Investigators need 1d6 rounds of movement to reach an area of relative safety. Each round of movement requires a Stability or Sense Trou","cbCaioFEE2xhbDQP","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaioFEE2xhbDQP","pdf",116296,11,"English","# The Night War\n## Scenario Overview\n## Keeper Information\n## Investigator Guidance\n## Night One: The Night War Begins\n## The Dream\n## Random Movement Event Table","[{\"question\":\"What is the core premise of “The Night War”?\",\"answer\":\"Investigators are drawn into three nights of McKenna’s nightmare psychodrama.
