Call Of Cthulhu: Masks Of Nyarlathotep
I started running the 1984 Call of Cthulhu campaign, Masks of Nyarlathotep. The version we’re playing is the 2014 “remaster”, which adds a whole introductory adventure and generally tidies up things.

Railroad adventures
A common complaint from players and game masters alike is that a specific adventure for a roleplaying game is “railroaded”. They mean that the players lack agency – that the GM is forcing them to act as an audience to the GM’s script. This is then frowned upon as bad GMing.
