The Arkham Gazette #1

"This is a highly important fact in view of the shadow which fell so suddenly upon me... It may be that centuries of dark brooding had given to crumbling, whisper-haunted Arkham a peculiar vulnerability as regards such shadows"

- H.P. Lovecraft, "The Shadow Out of Time"

With our first 'regular' issue of the Arkham Gazette we could not help but make Arkham itself the focus on this issue.  Originally released free online in 2013, we have revised and improved this issue, adding three articles (marked with **_** below) and revised and expanded other articles, had improved handouts drafted, added art, etc.  This version of issue #1 is a full 50% longer than our original!

Contents:

• A guide to useful locations in Arkham from published scenarios
• The Gladding School - an institution for mentally impaired children and other 'undesirables'
• An in-depth look at Thaumaturgical Prodigies in the New-English Canaan
• **A Encounter on West Armitage Street** - a scene you can insert into a scenario
• Arkham's Boundary Markers, a historical New England oddity
• The Case of the Missing Manhole Covers - a scenario seed

• **Arkham's Diners**, a guide to a distinctively New England style of eatery
