17. Horror on the Orient Express: A Luxury Campaign Spanning the European Continent (Call of Cthulhu roleplaying)
Package Quantity: 1Excellent Quality.Great Gift Idea.Satisfaction Ensured.Produced with the highest grade materials
First of all, that's amazing. Great idea for a dice box or dice rolling tray.
Have you considered something like a holder for minis, dice, pens/pencils? Basically little compartments inside for a player kit. I've seen a websites selling custom wooden enclosures for dice, pens, and minis for D&D players but a copy of the Necronomicon for a CoC game would be amazing.
Book ideas:
When writing adventures or stories I usually just start with 1 or 2 things I really want - a scene, a monster, a cool obstacle/puzzle - and the rest is just building up to that. With stories I usually have a bunch of ideas that would make a cool story and then end up taking 2 or 3 of them and mashing them together. So I can rarely ever say that one particular thing inspired it.
Sanderson is some kind of magic writing cyborg. I remember when in the last bit of the Mistborn Trilogy he dropped the big twits that also included the, "I dropped the big hint in Chapter 1 of Book 1 and you missed it." Freakin brilliant.
As far as my own stuff, start with Damoren. It's an urban fantasy about modern-day monster-hunters. The series is 4 books long, and each novel is a self-contained story.
Not directly answering your question, but I just read one of the Delta Green novels by Dennis Detwiller and there's quite a bit of good Yithian stuff in there. If you want to read it, be sure to familiarize yourself with the basic Delta Green concept first.
Beyond that, the Yithian's main concern is altering the present in such a way that it sets up the future that they want to occur, which will provide a way for them to escape into that future. They time travel by projecting their minds into the future and switch minds with a person in order to do this. Sometimes they swap with people just to interrogate that person back in the past, filling in gaps in their knowledge. Other times they do it because there's something that needs to happen and they want to help it along. So you can include Yithians in pretty much any campaign, as either friends of the party or enemies, just by hand waving the fact that they want events to occur in a certain way.
[Spoilers from the book mentioned above:]
It might also be cool to introduce the more ominous side of Yithians. They're really amoral beings. The future they're trying to set up is one in which humanity destroys itself with nuclear weapons paving the way for a race of giant beetles to rule the earth. So while they might help people in the present, it's just because they want us to kill ourselves in the future.
HotOE is definitely a good one and and a mainstay of the CoC greatest hits collection. However, when you say your group has run through one campaign previously, do you mean that's your only experience with CoC? If so, I would recommend starting smaller with some single scenarios to build a little group experience. HotOE is perhaps the most complicated module ever published for CoC, both for player and Keeper and shouldn't be taken lightly.
However, if I've misread you and your group does have CoC experience, I would recommend it. That said, it isn't my main recommendation. You should look into 'Masks of Nyarlathotep,' which is in many RPG reviewers view the best horror campaign ever published. Certainly it has become the quintessential CoC campaign. It has the same scale and scope as Orient Express, and a similar play time, but it is much smoother to run without sacrificing difficulty. Also it's only $35, which is much nicer than the $115 price tag on HotOE. If you want to make it even bigger and badder version, there is the massive Masks of Nyarlathotep Companion, which was kickstarted by Sixtystone Press. It's rather tricky to get a hold of at the moment since it has yet to be released to non-backers, but if you email Adam at Sixtystone, you can become a late backer and get access to it now.
> I will take a look at the story, thank you for your help! Really appreciated.
It's a game actually. Mythos Tales on Amazon.com. Plays like Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective.
Masks of Nyarlethotep and Horror on the Orient Express are considered the gold standard of 7th edition CoC full campaigns. I'm currently running Time to Harvest, which is available for free to members of the Cult of Chaos (free to join Chaosium program) and will be released for purchase probably in 2018. I'm liking it a lot so far. I haven't run it, but the Ripples from Carcosa book looks really interesting. It includes 3 scenarios, each in a different time period (roman times, dark ages, the future) that can be played as a linked campaign (something like people connecting with their past lives and getting three opportunities to stop Hastur).
Edit: Masks isn't out for 7th edition yet, but will be in 2018.
Only ones I know of are the Q Workshop ones, but I think those retailed for around $80 US.
I think you might have to compromise and go with either dark metal dice that aren't incredibly Eldritch or go with Cthulhu dice that aren't metal but maybe someone else knows a great deal that I'm not aware of.
Depending on how deep you want to dive, and excellent and very readable book on the topic is Frederick Lewis Allen's _Only Yesterday_, available for USD2.99 on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Only-Yesterday-Informal-History-1920s-ebook/dp/B00VH7BEFA/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=only+yesterday&link_code=qs&qid=1565630192&s=gateway&sourceid=Mozilla-search&sr=8-2
Or if you'd like a link that doesn't include a shady-ass referral. Maybe use smile.amazon.com and give to charity instead?
Depending on your budget, you can get IV bags, tubings and syringes off eBay and Amazon, then you just have to get creative with what’s inside them.

It might be worth the effort to track down the old Star Frontiers adventure 2010 (based on the movie of the same name). IIRC, it has the deckplans of the Discovery and the Leonov. In fact, you might be able to harvest quite a bit from that adventure. The monolith can be either a Yithian or Mi-Go artifact.
Also, if it hasn't been mention at yog-sothoth, check out the adventure Bad Moon Rising for dealing with the Yithians and being in space.
I believe the one you can get on Amazon is for 6th edition as it has it on the back cover; as long as it doesn't look like the older versions on the yog-sothoth link below or the 7th edition pdf I think you should be good

If you have some time to prepare read the book the "The Longest Cave" by Roger W. Brucker & Professor Richard A. Watson Ph.D. It's a true story about cave exploration. It will really give you an idea for the sheer isolation of caving far underground.
When you go through a tunnel in cave you always have to look behind you when you exit a tunnel. Imagine later backtracking and finding two exits. Did you come via the left or the right?
You come to pool. The only way forward is too dive into the pool which you assume a U shaped tunnel. (Or is it a J?) Once you come up on the other side it is pitch black. Is your torch wet? Your matches soaked?
I went ahead and searched on Amazon and found this. Granted it is $9.99 for the eBook

Amazon also has it for a wee bit less than Chaosium

I recently bought a hardcover 5th edition from an Amazon seller for about $35. I remember a few listings of 5th edition for close to that price and some a little less.
Here's a few: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/0933635869/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1452440904&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=Call+of+cthulhu+5th&dpPl=1&dpID=61BczfT5a0L&ref=plSrch
Can't go wrong with a statue of the ol' boy himself:

I ignore prices at brick and mortar stores, but ~$300 is the starting price at Amazon marketplace (https://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/1568821565).
