Overview[]
| “ | This was supposed to be a simple heist. A group of well-dressed criminals arrive at a warehouse to rendezvous after pulling off an extraordinary crime. They know each other only by their pseudonyms - Mister Black, Mister Red, Mister Green, Mister Purple, Mister Beige, Mister Silver, Mister Grey. The plan is simply to sit tight until midnight when someone will arrive to ferry them - and the loot - across the bay to make a final delivery to the boss. Sounds easy, right? But things take a turn for the weird; strange things happen in and around the warehouse. Things which make the criminals doubt the allegiances of the compatriots, their own sanity, and ultimately the very nature of reality. It is going to be a long wait for the ferryman. Dockside Dogs is a one-shot scenario for Call of Cthulhu. Four to six players take on the roles of the well-dressed criminals, hoping against all odds that they will make it through the night. |

Trivia[]
- Dockside Dogs takes obvious inspiration from Quentin Tarantino's seminal 1992 indie crime movie Reservoir Dogs with many elements clearly incorporated from the film, from the title, to the warehouse setting, to the characters given anonymity by being named for colours.
