Finding themselves trapped in an ancient Egyptian tomb, our heroes discover that they're not alone. This scenario is designed as a simple 1 to 2-hour adventure for introducing new players to Call of Cthulhu. Here are my tips, and criticisms for the module.

DID YOU KNOW I'M A NOVELIST?
If you want to support my channel, or just want to read an action-packed Urban Fantasy about modern-day monster hunters and their sentient weapons, check out my four-novel Valducan series (you might notice Hounacier subtlety placed behind me). They feature gun fights, sword fights, chases, monsters, and a smattering of horror. Audio book editions narrated by the badass R.C. Bray: https://amzn.to/3rehNnJ

I also write pulpy Sword & Sorcery thief adventures in my Tales of the Black Raven series. It's 21 short adventures packed with action, intrigue, and daring heroics. Audio editions read by R.C. Bray. https://amzn.to/3faj4cX

And if you want a kickass and dark revenge story about a modern-day sorceress hunting for lost Carcosa, my novel Ashes of Onyx is available in print, ebook, and audio book. It features urban fantasy, monsters, other worlds, drug addiction, horror, and, of course, the Yellow Sign: https://amzn.to/3sfh1IA

Here's the link to the character sheets I made for my players. I've included both the regular and form-fillable versions. Form-fillable sheets never work in Preview Mode, but you should be able to view them after downloading because Adobe is weird like that. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1CvRO_tfADLk33Zigrpuoq2qZG0OlUnXL?usp=sharing
