I'm running a Call of Cthulhu/Trail of Cthulhu -esque game using the Crimes People Play system. I want to integrate some new players into the campaign and we're in the middle of a scenario with two characters unconcious (one going to confront a ghost on his own turf, the other having fallen from a lighthouse into the water). The last player is a wake and is keeping a group of cultists (not necessarily murderous ones, mind you) away from the character fighting off the ghost.
I'm considering having the characters wake up in a hospital with no memory of how they got there and slowly have them have "flashbacks" in which it is determined how they wound up in the hospital. Also, the hospital harbors an evil creature that is related to the ghost in the current scenario. This would allow me to let the new players play as patients at the hospital.
Is this a good idea, or would it be better to play through this scenario completely and then the hospital scenario, without memory loss and whatnot?
