 |
A two-to-three session scenario for the Gaslight period of Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition.
The year is 1895. Oscar Wilde's trial has just concluded¸ making the news across London. In Deptford¸ a family discovers that their child has been replaced by... something else. When the investigators take the case¸ they find themselves on a tour across the soot-choked streets of East London¸ revealing new threats to the city¸ wicked enemies¸ and even wickeder allies as they race against the clock to save the child.
Includes six pre-generated investigators¸ as well as support for including the scenario into your own ongoing gaslight campaign¸ and period-specific setting information covering the East End of London¸ a city that is remarkably unclean¸ with squalor and wealth coexisting side-by-side. These are the days of child sweatshops and clouds of smoke that form an infamous¸ unhealthy smog. The investigators will have to navigate this world¸ of both natural and unnatural dangers¸ if they want to survive.
Content warning: this scenario includes imperiled children and historical homophobia.
