No Future 2: Career Opportunities

Tonight, Friday night. Five bands on the billing. One of those bands is you. The bizzies shut down the upstairs room at the Red Lion, but Kenneth who does the organising found a new place. It’s an old pile next to some woodlands, well out of earshot from anything, only the bodies in Muswell Hill cemetery for neighbours.

Career Opportunities is a scenario for Cthulhu Dark, set in London's punk scene in 1977. It is, crucially, actually built around setting up for and playing a gig. The player characters arrive at an old house to run sound checks and help with the setup for the gig they're playing that night. But this house hides old secrets. Shortly after the war, it was the site of experiments into memory-reading and repersonalisation, a process designed to shape young minds into productive members of British society. The project has recently been reactivated, and revolting youth like the punks are the ideal subjects.

--- Expected play time 1 to 2 sessions.
