Hey, thanks for taking the time to read, review, and play the scenario. I'm glad you liked it, but I do have one suggestion for you: maybe next time mention the author of the book. That's always nice. :)
Hey there. Yeah, sorry sometimes I do, others it's edited out, I'll make more effort to keep it in there. But as always we had a good time with your scenario.
Firearm seizure laws can allow law enforcement to remove weapons from dangerous individuals. If the PCs are reckless or took a shot at a local in a sasquatch costume, you might have a good way to seize the PCs firearms. The local cops might plant drugs if the pcs are really annoying and tell them to get out of town. Then the PCs are really unlikely to call the cops until it hits the fan.
Is it at all possible for the cannibals' backstory to emerge in this adventure? Doesn't seem to be a great chance to do so as their existence is secret and they don't seem like keen historians themselves...
There are ways to do it, you could introduce journals from their ancestors in the cave, they won't read but anyone in there could find that sort of thing. You could also have something found on the guys investigation files on his pc. If you want to tell it from the cannibals themselves I'd suggest a verbal history, with them acting out their story of where they came from and why they do what they do. A ritual storytelling during the butchery of one of the victims while the others look on could be very cool. It would be delusional and dramatical wrong but add enough clues to give a patchy history.
It depends on what you really want, they fill different needs. Needles is more versatile and offers 26 short scenarios of various quality, some really good ones and others that will need some work from an experinced keeper to flesh out. Occam's has 7 scenarios that offer a great twist for the jaded/experinced group, but could be a dud if people are looking for traditional mythos, and i'd say all of them need some work from an experinced keeper to run smoothly. If i was forced to choose, i'd go with needles, there is just more of a bang for your buck, and more variety.

Nothing like a good meat grinder to break up the slow investigation games
It's a chewy one for sure! :D

Thats a good idea.

Awesome! Thank you!

I'm torn between this collection and Fear's Sharp Little Needles. Any opinion?

I made the mistake of watching this while eating summer sausage. Great video though.
Oh no! :D
