Darkness Rising is a game specifically written for play at Chronicles: Rising by Andrew Cullum using the Cthulhu Live, 2nd edition rules. The Darkness Rising scenario is set in modern time and will be run in multiple locations at the convention. It is written as a “line game”.
Cthulhu Live is a live-action role playing game based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft as well as The Call of Cthulhu tabletop RPG. Written by Robert H McLaughlin and published in 1999 by Fantasy Flight Games, the Cthulhu Live rules use a no-contact combat system and emphasize theatrics and roleplaying. Character skills determine success or failure of various activities attempted in game such as combat; the Keeper of Arcane Secrets (game master) calculates results with minimal intrusion of game mechanics to the players. The player must use his/her own abilities for observation and puzzle solving.
