THREE UNUSUAL TIMES & PLACES... * Bizarre Events at a U.N. Moonbase * Pestilence and Plague in Elizabethan London * Secrets of the Spanish Inquisition.
During the month of January¸ 1603¸ London is in the grip of a bitterly cold winter. The air is crisp with a heavy frost that is slow to thaw. Rumors abound that the plague is once more abroad in the city -- knowledge that weighs heavily on the populace.
Numerous houses have already been boarded up; people have again taken to slaughtering stray dogs¸ wearing too-strong perfumes¸ and applying arsenic under the armpits. The Pest House is filling¸ and deaths are on the rise.
Now you hear that Queen Elizabeth is unwell¸ and will probably die before spring. Everyone is wary of others¸ and foreigners certainly are carriers.
It is a depressing time to be about in the city.
STRANGE AEONS contains three adventures set in unusual times and places: in Renaissance Spain during the logical¸ dread¸ and austere Spanish Inquisition¸ in a twenty-first century lunar outpost¸ and in Elizabethan England¸ among certain talented playwrights. Six pre-generated characters are provided for each scenario.
