Monografie: Return of the Ripper
An 1890s Scenario for Call of Cthulhu and Cthulhu by Gaslight Return of the Ripper takes place in London¸ beginning in late summer to early autumn of 1893. It involves a new series of killings perpetrated by Jack the Ripper. The Ripper has returned to London to continue his bloody work after a five-year absence. Working in league with the Ripper are other occult horrors with which investigators must deal. At least one of these is far more formidable - and deadly - than the Ripper himself! The scenario presents a series of clues¸ encounters¸ and locations that¸ explored to their fullest¸ lead Investigators to the identity - and terrible secrets - of Jack the Ripper. A number of peripheral dangers are encountered along the way that may either be dealt with during the course of the scenario or¸ in some cases¸ sidestepped to be handled at a later time - provided Investigators retain life and sanity enough to do so. A number of red herrings are also present¸ designed to mislead and confuse the investigators. Some of these might lead to entire side adventures of their own; others will simply throw investigators momentarily off the track of their quarry
