Opus Magi: the Catacombs of Paris

The Catacombs of Paris
The centuries' old¸ underground cemeteries of Paris. On their own they are one of the most macabre¸ creepiest places on the planet. Hardly a place the depths of which one would want to be wantonly thrown. Yet¸ this is exactly where the player characters suddenly appear¸ magically gated deep into this graveyard of millions.
Rumors of dark cults and magical rituals have haunted the catacombs since their inception¸ not to mention the sightings of ghosts and experiences of the paranormal. Thrill-seekers¸ party-goers¸ tourists¸ and adventurers all frequented the catacombs until several years ago¸ when the Paris authorities closed off these ossuaries of the dead due to some unexplained disappearances. This has not¸ however¸ kept out those who are more determined.
The Catacombs of Paris is a rich¸ multi-session adventure¸ containing detailed descriptions of both encounters and non-player characters. This module will expose the player characters to:
spirits both benevolent and malevolent dangerous magical constructs capricious undead paranormal researchers mystical artifacts beautiful predatory vampires
The module also introduces the daughters of Sir Dunsay¸ and is a segue to the player characters becoming embroiled in the politics of this ancient¸ mystical House.
The Catacombs of Paris contains detailed¸ printable hex maps for both Referee and players¸ as well as reference materials for use during game-play. Extensive Referee notes as well as ready-made NPC responses help the Referee conduct the game smoothly.
