Just a sweet transvestite
I've been bouncing around a few concepts for different Call of Cthulhu campaigns in my head recently. It's my favorite system, and deceptively simple. If you're not familiar with the system, I can easily help walk through the system and process. The emphasis here will be on episodic, isolated but interlocking mysteries, which shall together weave a great, terrible whole.
Give a read on the concepts, let me know what you'd like to fight for your life in the most!

Welcome to Cobbwood
A ranch town, just on the west end of what we now call Nevada. Prospectors and miners make their living at afew good caverns across the expanse, and life thrives in the growing community. But bandits and outlaws aren't quite the danger most know. Superstition spreads through the town, as a man in all black rolls in. A grin ear to ear. He leaves a night later. The east river ran red that night...
...Strange whispers through the stables at night...
...People stirring in their sleep...
...Horses and dogs spooking at nothing...
...Miners up and vanishing from their bunks...
...There's some strange things in them hills, partner....
The Fool's Conquest
An upstart has made a name for himself, across the whole of the empire. Japan is locked in a seemingly endless series of fueds and open skirmishes between its many states. Oda Nobunaga, the infamous Fool of Owari, has felled the great Inabayama castle after a brutal siege. His reach expands, as he claims to be working to unite all japan, under a single clan. At his side, a ronin, a coward, and a commoner. The Takeda and the Uesegi to the north, continue their endless blood-feud, with the Oda throwing in their hand along-side the Uesegi.
Amidst the carnage of war. Sightings. Rumors. Tall tales of Oni ransacking the desolate countryside. Of wayward spirits stalking the aftermath of bloodbath after bloodbath....
REMAIN CALM CITIZEN - ! - THE ISSUE SHALL BE RESOLVED MOMENTARILY
The city of Olympus Prime, based within the largest mountain of mars. Capital of humanity's Mars colonies, and a bustling hotbed of mining, engineering, and what passes for agriculture on Mars. A.M. Incorporated, the company funding the colony, has gone silent in the past weeks. Transit stations to other colonies have been shut down. The Extra-net has gone dark. Food, water, and air are farmed in good stock in the hydroponic sectors. But it remains disconcerting. The isolation. And that same message:

[Disengaging Stasis Protocol]
... Andrea Station. You where put in stasis for medical treatment. A quick scan shows no positives on any contamination or toxins in your body. The lights click on. No medical staff. No signs of personnel. A hint of iron to the air as a jammed door ticks across from the group, it's uncomfortable scraping as it tries to open itself the only noise, other than the gasps of your fellow patients awakening....
None of these will officially take-off until mid-February. Still, it's nice to test the waters, and see if anyone would be on board.
