"Feed the Many" Has Launched on DriveThruRPG!

After months of sketching maps, rewriting plot twists, and drawing noodle-infested horrors into the late hours of the night, I’m beyond thrilled (and mildly traumatized) to announce that my debut Call of Cthulhu scenario—Feed the Many—is now live on DriveThruRPG!

This project has been a labor of love, born from my obsession with unsettling folklore, body horror, and the strange intimacy of food. Set in 1920s Arkham, Feed the Many begins innocently enough—with a suspiciously popular Italian restaurant and a jealous rival. But under the warm glow of candlelight and clinking cutlery, something ancient and parasitic stirs… and it’s hungry.

Sample pages showcasing the map, a monster with stats, and one of the illustrated NPCs.

What’s Inside:

  • A complete three-act narrative structure for clear session pacing

  • Two detailed battle maps

  • A fully designed, printable restaurant menu for immersive handouts

  • A printable X-Card and built-in safety tools

  • Three unique monster stat blocks, including Il Vermicello, an ancient parasitic god

  • Both black & white and color versions of the scenario

  • Original NPC and creature artwork in a vintage Call of Cthulhu line art style

  • Extensive Keeper notes to guide improvisation and tone

Who’s It For?

Keepers who love slow-burn dread, culinary nightmares, and giving their players moral quandaries wrapped in meat sauce. Whether you’re new to running Call of Cthulhu or a seasoned Keeper looking for something weird and memorable, I hope this scenario hits the spot.

A Bit About Me

Hi, I’m Lauren—graphic designer by day, horror writer by night, and person who now has far too many Google searches involving pasta. You can also find me posting art timelapses and eldritch sketches over on Bluesky @pixelmothra, from this project.

This release means a lot to me. I poured everything I had into it. If you pick it up, thank you. If you play it, please let me know how it goes. I’d love to hear your players’ wild theories, table reactions, and which part left them the most uncomfortably hungry.

Thanks for supporting indie horror. And remember:

The bread is fresh. The pasta is handmade.
The staff don’t blink.

Feed the Many.
