Are you brave enough to explore the Boston underground? This 25-page exploratory sandbox scenario pits 1920s Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition Investigators against a hidden foe. What will happen when a job in a newspaper advertisement leads to strange places? Will you feed your curiosity with only an electric torch to light your way? Will you seek help from locals? Will you flee? 

This scenario features:

-Options for the Keeper for how adversaries react

-A complete array of seven easy-to-print player handouts

-Playtest notes

-Organizational tools to help the Keeper run the scenario

-Keeper notes to help new Keepers

-Info on Locations not often used in Call of Cthulhu scenarios

-Weird Tech!

FAQ: Can the time period and locations be changed?

Absolutely! Although written to highlight some 1920s history of certain locations, this can be changed to suit any locations the Keeper is familiar with and would like to showcase. The time setting is also changeable. It could be 1890s and not affect the history of the specific locations presented, although some landmarks aren't built until specific dates. It could also be Modern. Being underground in Modern would work very well, because without satellite signals underground, it just adds the question of tech dependency to the experience!

Original electronic
Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
