Apropos of hardly anything at all, we may be reviving an old campaign. And by "we" I mean my wife.
Our youngest grandson, turning 14, has asked Cherie to run a Call of Cthulhu "adventure" at his birthday. He has no idea what Cthulhu is or means, but he suddenly misses the rolegames I used to run for him, his sisters, and his friends. Cherie is struggling to find a way to scare him and his friends without traumatizing them.

I know nothing about it yet. I'm to be one of Cherie's victims.
I mean players.
The last time she ran her Cthulhu campaign in 1988, she reduced several of us gruff tough men to tears.

Tell us the story Grandpa Chet. Yeah, Grandpa Chet, tell us the story! Pretty please with sugar on top! Rats! Now I have to take another 20 units of insulin! Cherie made her campaign very, very immersive. She used our area as the site. Real businesses. Real people as NPCs. And the Cthulhu cult was based on a real underground KKK group, which USAF OSI had helped to smash. Since one of us in the group had been one of the OSI workers, she had gleaned a lot of information from reports and from him confiding what he could. Only she used people we knew as NPCs, and even our real selves as NPCs in the background. None of this was evident, and required a lot of investigation by our PCs. A Lot. Two years' worth of investigation, and a surprise near the end that one of our PCs was the son of a Deep One - whom another PC had fallen in love with and had become pregnant by. Mr Son of a Deep One shapeshifted from an ugly man into a full-fledged Deep One right before their eyes. (Sanity loss all around.) The other PCs had really liked Norman (You'd think that name would be a trigger!) and we players had come to like and pity him a lot. That didn't stop them (PCs and players) from shooting him to pieces, even as they were screaming, crying, and foaming at the mouth - missing a lot more than they hit, and almost killing themselves. Yeah, there were real-life tears.

Maybe we just can't recognize anything which returns from Cthulhu?
Or - ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww --- Cthulhu puke!!!

The stevia can have a little bitter after taste, but the monk fruit gets rid of that completely. So you have a great tasting low calorie sweetener that is all natural. Everyone goes with Cthulhu whether they want to or not.

Cthulhu IS all-natural, but I'm not sure about him being good stuff.

My question did Cthulhu end up being a pig and eating all the birthday cake. I heard he does that.
