Origin #RPGaDAY2025

 The origin of it all is a story that now makes me cringe, but I'm going to share with you everything that happened and the reasoning behind the first game in which I took on the role of narrator, DM, or whatever you want to call it.

THE ORIGIN

At that time, I was obsessively playing GTA 3, which led me to become quite familiar with the city of Liberty City. I was 12 years old and had played a game of DnD with my brother a few weeks earlier, so after reviewing the Call of Cthulhu manual, I wanted to run a game without knowing what I was doing. With a lot of ignorance and enthusiasm, I got down to work.

So I let myself be guided by teenage enthusiasm, anime, and my complete lack of knowledge about Lovecraft and the Cthulhu myths. So I simply chose one of the missions in the game and cast my brother in the role that Claude Speed plays in GTA 3, a simple, unscrupulous errand boy.

I travel around the city, committing crimes on behalf of some mafia boss, and then a fleshless angel descends from the heavens and attacks me. Making full use of my AK-47, I manage to take the angel out of circulation, only for the summoner who brought the creature into the world to immediately appear on a kind of floating dragon. The anime villain appeared and then flew off on his sinister creature. I forgot to apply the sanity rules, and soon that first session ended.   

 So cringe-worthy. Cheers.
