the premier unleashing of my own Lovecraftian role-playing adventure will be at Cthulhu One, the Walpurgisnacht weekend, HPL/mythos convention... guests of honor are S. T. Joshi and Robert M. Price.
this adventure will include the vampiric Old One, Odhra-guoa the Drinker of Souls! check out the link for more info:

He that is always named in the pallid glow of the azure flame. He is regarded as the least powerful of the Great Old Ones (sometimes known as the treacherous one). However, The Drinker of Souls is the easiest to awaken and a God which experienced investigators might be able to take down themselves when He rises. (Dear Lord, I hope so...)
And it is prophesized that He will rise! In any case, the best method of dispatching Odhra-guoa is a banishing symbol appearing in the text written in the language of the guoa race, Aoug-asht, an abhorent, proto-insect dead language - a communication quietly decaying in the most dangerous and untamed grottoes of the Dream Lands...
Without further ado, His description: He is about 40' tall, three headed, each head adorned with multiple sets of goat horns. The first head is that of a rat, the second a toad, and the third a bat - each head with only a single hungry, multi-dimensional, and deadly eye. Slimy tentacles protrude from His furry azure body spontaneously when excited or agitated. Gigantic bat wings allow the gruesome Ancient One to fly in pursuit of the human life force which He feeds upon constantly until forced to continue His slumber outside this reality.
At the moment, He sleeps underground in a vast subterranean dungeon in the sweltering jungles of South America and beneath M'jacthowait's temples. Odhra-guoa was last summoned to earth during a magical ritual in the pallid glow of the azure flame by aristocratic, New England cultists who ventured to His resting place. Cultists who were butchered in their tropical paradise before they could journey to His form beyond our simplistic "reality structure" and rouse Him. The natives say that the white cultists were possibly killed by the fish that walk like men, but it is unknown why those creatures would want to stop Odhra-guoa from awakening...?
