I’m planning to run a one-shot of My Life With Master and I’d like to give it a Cthulhu Mythos vibe. So went with the idea that the master is Shub-Niggurath, but I’m struggling with two things right now:
- I REALLY want the Great Old One herself to feature during the game (maybe via visions that the minions have, but ideally in some physical form), BUT then I realised that the Master needs to come to a sticky end and I don’t think my players will buy Shub-Niggurath being destroyed.
- What does a Great Old One like that really want its little minions to do? Minions trying to perform these little (localised) tasks form a large part of the MLWM game.
So I’m just looking for some advice and ideas really.
Or, if you had committed yourself to running a one-shot called “My Life With Shub-Niggurath” how would you approach it?
