My players are doing Kenya after Egypt, and since they didn't manage to stop the resurrection of Nitocris I plan to have another friend join as a guest player and infiltrate the group.
I’m just starting this campaign as a Keeper, and I’m grateful for your videos and guidance! The books mention that on the nights of a new moon, the various cults will perform Greater Rites with increased cultists presence, increased entities, and increased danger. Did you keep track of the moon phases in your game for this in case your players were unlucky, or captured to be used as a sacrifice in one of the greater rites?
I never thought about it before, since the conclusion of the chapter can be so epic, but you're right that Kenya can feel a bit redundant in its earlier stages.
The order of our campaign: Peru, New York, London, Shanghai, Egypt, Kenya, Australia I think that I, as the keeper, was feeling the strain by this point more than my players, the repetitive framework of the chapters was starting to bother me and I felt that the two best chapters were already done (Egypt and China), with the two worst (Kenya and Australia), to come. To keep myself interested I focused on a lost city side-quest and built a lot of drama into the resolution of a story thread (one of the female characters was carrying a back up foetus of Nyarlathotep, which was terminated by magic in Nairobi while the Black Wind sought them out).
Yes, it's interesting to hear from other Keepers who felt similar towards the end of the campaign. This is a good reminder for me to include tips in the grand conclusion video for how to keep the steam going towards the end. I also delved deep into the lost city!
YESSSSS. Been waiting with baited breath for the next installment!
Excellent, this is the first of this series that we haven't hit yet. This and China. Thank you for keeping these going!

Excelent video!!! great tips! thank u!
Love it. BTW, Kaur is pronounced the same as “core”. It’s typically a Sikh female surname, as opposed to a male being called Singh. Hope this helps.

the book seems to expect you to just declare a new moon when convenien, but it's easy enough to get a moon calendar from 1925 so I've been doing that.

Great tips! Have you done Horror on the Orient Express?
Not yet, but it is on my shelf to be played soon! I plan to make similar walkthroughs for that campaign.
