2020年4月22日 · This works best if the investigators enter Innsmouth singly or groups of 3 or less. You could create a scene where a PC tries to go fishing in the next town over from Innsmouth. An NPC walks past and tells the PC "Don't bother. We're almost atop it", he says pointing to the city of Innsmouth. "Yeah won't find anythin' natural here."

2023年6月4日 · Innsmouth is a fictional town, though the name is most likely based on the New England town of Portsmouth. The "mouth" refers to the mouth of the river, in which the port sits. As a lifelong resident of New England, very close to where these towns are located, I would parse Innsmouth as being similar, kind of being "in the mouth."

2020年9月10日 · Oh yeah, there's a lot of Lovecraft I've re-read and hope to read again when I get the chance. The Shadow over Innsmouth is one of his longer stories, but I love how tense it is. It captures the eerie environment of Innsmouth while also feeling like one of his most action-packed works. Ah, I take it you're a fan of Dune?

2023年9月18日 · Narratively, Innsmouth is a mess. The flashbacks and non-linear structure made things hopelessly confusing. The restrictions on spending XP were annoying and pointless (and didn't even make sense if you tried to wrap your head around Innsmouth's narrative structure.) But gameplay-wise, it's very strong, except that finale.

2021年9月8日 · Innsmouth was my favorite campaign so far, but for me the story structure and XP timing created more confusion than it seemed worth for the thematic aspect.

2019年8月8日 · Innsmouth is on the Coast of Essex County, Massachusetts. It is South of Plum Island and north of Cape Ann. The town of Ipswhich, Massachusetts is the closest neighboring town where Innsmouthers usually go to shop. Rowley, Massachusetts is another neighboring town just northwest of Innsmouth. This would place Innsmouth in the vicinity of Essex Bay.

I read that as the appearance of the Shoggoth in dreams triggering the Innsmouth look (or the dreams start when the look becomes dominant), placing the Shoggoths at a kind of Demi-god assistant to Dagon, and that the things on the edge of town were Deep Ones far gone or possibly the treasures they were being delivered from the depths.

2014年9月21日 · One hundred years earlier, Innsmouth had fallen on hard times until a trader named Captain Obed Marsh had started bringing back large amounts of gold ornaments from the Pacific. It seems he had met a group of "Kanaky" islanders from the East Indies who had made a pact with these inhuman amphibian creatures called the Deep Ones (sort of like the ...

2023年10月23日 · Short answer: No. Long answer: Although the start of The Shadow Over Innsmouth said that the U.S. government raided the town and then made vague statements about diseases, concentration camps, to military prisons, there's stuff that seems way too suspicious as there are no arrest or court records of Innsmouth folk, no sightings of arrested Innsmouth folk, …

The Innsmouth Conspiracy brings five new investigators, albeit familiar faces, as well as new scenarios and player cards to delve too deeply into. This cycle also brings new Chaos tokens for the first time in the game's life: Bless and Curse, which are sure to shake up your carefully crafted Chaos bag maths.
