This scenario tells the tale of a comedian who has gained access to ancient magic, which he then uses for fame and fortune that come with the requisite horrible costs.  \nTrail of Cthulhu is very similar to Cthulhu Dark (which the scenario was written for), in that they both do not rely on rolling dice to make sure the PCs get the appropriate clues. As such, most of the conversion notes center on either the investigative skills needed or Stability checks.  \nAlso, note that I have created three new Investigative skills for playing TOC in modern times: Computer Use, Electronics and Pop Culture. As popular culture has become such a strong force in modern civilization, I do believe it is valuable as a skill described below. If you don’t want to add it to a modern campaign, just replace it with Oral History where noted.  \n􀁸 Computer Use: This represents to use a computer beyond the basic uses. You know how to Google something beyond the first page of results, search and modify a registry, install a video card, find hidden or erased files on a hard drive, and dig into cache to find passwords. This also covers the ability to understand and navigate IP addresses, Wi-Fi networks, and cloudbased storage.  \n􀁸 Electronics: The ability to use, manipulate and modify electronic devices beyond their day-to-day uses (without hurting yourself or the device). This includes hacking mobile phones and computer networks, jump-starting a car, and rewiring/juryrigging anything with a charge in it.  \n􀁸 Pop Culture: The ability and knowledge to not only navigate the multiple avenues of modern communications and media (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Reddit, BuzzFeed, etc.), but to be in-the-know regarding the latest happenings and any  \nfallout from them (viral videos, flame wars, doxxing, etc.) . This includes knowing about the latest movies, performances, pop stars, and anyone else deemed “famous.”  \nBack at the Hotel (pg 15,17)  \n􀁸 Instead of having the PCs roll for what they know about Becca, require a Cop Talk, Law, Oral History, or Pop Culture 1-point spend to gain a clue.  \n􀁸 Watching Bryan’s video requires a Stability Test of Difficulty 2.  \n􀁸 Finding the clues on Becca’s phone  \nrequires Electronics or Evidence Collection 1-point spend.  \nBecca’s Apartment (pg 17-18)  \n􀁸 Entering the house and smelling Becca’s death requires a Stability Test of Difficulty 1.  \n􀁸 Chemistry notes the presence of the gasoline smell, and a Chemistry 1-point spend notes the smudge marks are some sort of graphite composite.  \n􀁸 Occult is necessary to recognize that the smudge marks resemble some sort of spell.  \n􀁸 Oral History or Computer Use determines where the appropriate Home Depot is located.  \nDavid Lee – Coroner (pg 18-19)  \n􀁸 Law determines that Lee is the head person in charge of the death and where to find him.  \n􀁸 Intimidation or Reassurance is needed to get the PCs past the receptionist to talk to David Lee.  \n􀁸 While Assess Honesty determines that Lee is hiding something, Intimidation or Athletics will reduce him to a blubbering mess where he will divulge Ares’ name.  \nJaney Lassiter (pg 21-22)  \n􀁸 Reassurance or Flattery will get Janey to open up and talk with the PCs.  \nSusan Ortega (pg 22-23)  \n􀁸 Reassurance or Flattery will also get Susan to open up, though she is less susceptible to blatant flattery and may eye the PCs with suspicion of they go that route.  \nRalph Ares, Future Self (pg 23-24)  \n􀁸 After unsuccessfully confronting Rafe and finding themselves locked in a dumpster, a Stability Test of Difficulty 3 is required.  \nBryan’s House in the Hills (pg 24-28)  \n􀁸 Electronics can get a PC to open the front gate, while an Athletics Tests of Difficulty 2 can get them over it.  \n􀁸 Seeing the Hyena through the window costs a Stability Test of Difficulty 1.  \n􀁸 Meeting Bryan requ","cbCaifaB04I3Rib8","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaifaB04I3Rib8","pdf",232143,"English","# Scenario Conversion Overview\n## Investigative Skills and Stability Check Approach\n# Scene-by-Scene Conversion Guide\n## Back at the Hotel\n## Becca’s Apartment\n## Coroner and Key NPC Interactions\n## Ralph Ares, Future Self\n## Bryan’s House in the Hills\n## Laughing Hyena Spell Incantation\n## Final Investigations and Medallion of True Sight\n# NPC Abilities and Combat Thresholds","[{\"question\":\"How does the document describe converting clues from Cthulhu Dark to Trail of Cthulhu?\",\"answer\":\"It explains that Trail of Cthulhu is similar in not relying on dice rolls to deliver the right clues.
