The Shadow Over Providence
 |
August 25th¸ 1928: Providence¸ Rhode Island: The Milton Hotel cordially invites you to view the fantastical travelling exhibition "The Kingdom of Fire-Egypt's 18th Dynasty." All the way from the British Museum¸ London¸ England¸ come see these wonders of ancient Egypt¸ rare and priceless items from a time long ago. Learn about their history from Dr. Caitlin Bronson¸ the exhibition's curator¸ who will be on hand to answer all of your questions. Marvel at the treasures of Tutankhamun and Hatshepsut¸ along with the star of the exhibition¸ the mysterious canopic jar of Ibnhotep the Mad! Tickets are limited and going fast-and you don't want to miss out on what promises to be the most talked about exhibition of the year!
With an invitation like that¸ how could your investigators possibly refuse? Be they historians and scholars¸ or even those who ply the blackmarket trade in illicit antiquities¸ this is a rare opportunity to learn the secrets of the distant past outside of a museum. And what possible danger could there be in going to see the mortal remains of someone called "Ibnhotep the Mad"?
The Shadow Over Providence is a new Call of Cthulhu scenario set in a venue that may seem strangely familiar to anyone who has visited Providence's iconic Biltmore Hotel. The adventure was written by Jon Hook of the Miskatonic University Podcast¸ with with artwork and maps by Matt Ryan.
