The movie passes at the back of the book are simply forms you can photocopy and mail to potential players. Their early partcipation and anticipation will make the keeper's job easier and more fun. If you have time, photocopy the poster ahead of time, so that it can be passed around and looked at during playIf you present the trailers (Previews), put one or two in front of the feature, or in back, and let the players vote on which they'd like to do next time. Always show the movie poster-the players deserve the same kind of hint and preparation that the theater-goer gets. All the same, if you can, steer the events so that the scene depicted can more or less be confiied. Like the original posters, these posters are sometimes misleading, and usually more sensational than the movie actually warrants. Stock up on projector lamps, and keep your sprockets clean! The movie posters for each film are drawn from actual posters of the era, in pose and lettering. Be sure to have in mind a second feature, in case something goes wrong. Played properly, they bumble, stumble, hesitate, and mis-judge, even as you and I would, were we actually called into peril. These pemnalities are not camed over from scenario to sce nario, nor do the scenarios have much to do with the Cthulhu Mythos, nor are the charactem necessarily intellectual in any degree, nor are they even likely to be the sorts of people who investigate anything. Success comes not in surviving, however, but in staging a good film The characters intended for players to use are in this book called player-charaders, not investigators. Playercharacters have varying chances for survival. All work as do the film genres which they recapitulate, and the keeper should have the notion offilm clearly in mind before presenting each adventure. Some of these adventures are grotesque, several are comic, and more than several spill decent quantities of blood. Printed In the United States of America.ĮRE ARE nine Blood-Brothers-style adventures, scenarios designed to have no purpose other than fun,and to express nothing more than the love of movies.
