There was meant to be a "Dune" game, but the GM had to pull out. Whereas there was technically more Cathulhu than Cthulhu - 3 of the first, only two of the second.

And to swish aside the curtain: there were no clocks and no fronts. I was genuinely working with what you gave me and a list of questions - most focused on the initial action, one for "what's in the box", and then a couple about where you take it. Its a game which is amazingly easy for a GM in the right mindset and with a head full of SF tropes to run as a one-off. But you can end up written into a corner (or in this case, with something... too big?). In a campaign, we'd then explore that corner, use the events of the first session to generate action later and so on. In a one-shot, I'm just after the feeling that this was a really cool pilot, and I'd like to play the rest please.
