Once I decided to host a Call of Cthulhu Dark Ages one-shot for a few friends (which you can watch here). It also took place in an alternate universe where everyone is dogs or wolves, because of course.
Since it takes place in the 10th century, these characters are a bit more grounded; Alhelm is a sailor who’s just returned from a voyage to the continent, Eirik is a healer of nordic descent, and Willow is a disgruntled owner of an ale house.
