    • Cinnabar

    This is a Horror themed module for Pokerole 2.0 for 2-4 players. The module makes use of a Homebrew simply entitled Sanity Table to capture a Call of Cthulhu type feel to the game. The module is meant to be self contained and played on a dark and stormy night. Characters for the module should be Ace Rank and can have two Ace Rank Pokemon.

    The tone of this module is dark and could potentially end in the characters dying (or “Blacking out”). That said, the ending of the module can be easily adjusted to have a happier outcome as required, to just enjoy the scares on the journey.

    Player Summary

    A Note on Formatting

    In the module, you’ll find various formatting styles. Callout blocks like these can be imagined as sidebars. Italic text can be read as GM notes and tips. Code blocks contain rolls the players will need to make, in the format of attribute+skill. If the code block has a x# at the end, that means the minimum number of successes is that number, not one.

    Story Summary

    The story is carved into a handful of sections. The first section has the players on their boat to Cinnabar when a storm hits. The party must survive a Shipwreck as the boat smashes into rocky shores due to the storm. Their injured captain will direct them to the Cinnabar Mansion on a hill to call for help.

    The next section has the PCs exploring the Cinnabar Mansion. There are three encounters contained in this section.

    • The Study contains a Mewtwo creation Journal (Verbatim from the game) as a red herring for the weird stuff happening in the Mansion.
    • The Library contains the key to the secret basement entrance, as well as Missingno Kabutops that attack the players.
    • The Radio Room contains a note about the equipment being moved to the basement, and a surprise attack by a Missingno Aerodactyl.

    The players, after solving the Statue puzzle (or being helped along by MissingNo), move onto the Basement section. This is the final section and is split into two encounters.

    • In the Lab, the players can find out that the scientists who made Mewtwo created something else that was far more dangerous, then they encounter a strange phenomenon.
    • In the statis chamber that once held Mewtwo the players find MissingNo and must fight to survive or escape. Be sure to read ahead to this encounter! There are various options depending on the difficulty and tone you want for the finale.
