Lost In The Eighties! LoFP Carcosa & OSR Actual Play Session One

A brand new group of young adventurers faces down the legacy of the Nazi expedition to the alien shores of  'lost Carcosa' but a far more heinous threat looms for this Earth! Come with us now to the Eighties the Age of Heroes!

June 1957 marked the end of 'the Prenatural Wars' as the very last expedition to lost  Carcosa crashed into the seas off of Sicily. The last of the radioactive Nazi brain wizards  & their robotic minions had been defeated but the cost had been very high for our party of 'black guard' adventurers. The last of Hitler's clones had been destroyed on the sky island lair.
The artifacts recovered propelled the Earth from the 'Adventurous Sixties,' & 'Plastic Dash Seventies' into 'the Hard Core Eighties'!  Wizards were questioned, debriefed, & moved off to some remote island off the coast of Sicily. Thieves were cycled into the Cold war efforts & their contributions will be blogged about another time. Fighters were used in any number of cold war theaters & the world moved on. The very last of the old guard took very fat retirement packages. Some wrote Christmas cards to the pagan clerics of alien gods who had found California to their liking. Their cults were growing by leaps & bounds.
But something was very,very, wrong. The Earth had opened a door unto an alien world back in the 50's & it was coming for them! The United States & Russia had gain the secrets to occult secrets, & alien energy weapons. They hid them behind the illusions of concrete vaults & beneath cinder block bunkers.


But it was far too late now for the grand children of the psi scouts of the Nineteen Fifty Seven mission sensed their coming first. It started with visions of nightmarish proportions across the world of alien rites & weird insanity inducing monstrosities! Kids & adults awoke across the planet screaming, insane, & worse changed!

Already  the United States Department of Energy, has activated its operation  'Project Doorway' occult mission back to Carcosa in its Montauk, New York and nearby Long Island locations. But it may be too late all ready! The Russians 'Delta Incident' less then twenty four hours ago has revealed that alien forces & a possible invasion are on their way. American & Russia military forces are forced to put aside their differences as an alien brain wizard appeared in the Grand View Mall in Virginia. The PC's mission? Recover the wizard, protect the civilians, & get out before the other forces show up!



Of course none of this went to plan as underdweller cultists showed up from another dimension! The on going fire fight caused missive collateral damage & the PC's wizard launched a lightning strike inside the mall! Then the underdweller's real mission was revealed to set up a dimensional warp device!  The PC's managed to stop the device but the collateral damage was vicious. The army had evacuated the civilians out of the mall before things got ugly.
