A PI, Willburn Knowles, has picked up a new case that might be too big for him. A string of bank robberies in the area has left the police clueless and he has been brought in by the only bank in town that has not been hit yet, fearing they are next. All he has to go on is the crew have been using an old beaten up hearse as a getaway car, and he is calling in a favour you owe. You will need to go undercover in the bank, find the possible insider, and delay the robbers should they turn up until the police arrive.

Cthulhu Roadshow
Michael Grant ($8.99, 32 page PDF)

A Call of Cthulhu scenario set in 1981. Sitting at home watching the Magnum P.I., an advert for the upcoming Roadshow airs. A well-dressed man with a silky smooth but authoritive British accent appears on the screen. You remember the old piece of junk you purchased years ago at an obscure little antique shop in Alexandria Bay, and you wonder what it is worth...

When They Come (Pamphlet Adventure)
Fábio Silva ($2.00, 5 page PDF)

The Investigators are making their way home on Christmas eve when a snowfall caught them on the road, and they need to pass through a distant and strange village, so they can rest and cheer on climate change. The place is ornate for the occasion and looks calm for a peaceful rest night. But everything changes when they come.

Print, fold, and play. A few minutes of reading, some hours of fun.

The Great Trap
Heinrich D. Moore ($4.95, 66 page PDF)

It is 1927, and a letter invites Investigators to the home of Professor Adhemar Osterman. The letter is dated almost thirty years in the past, and bears each of the Investigators’ signatures. They do not remember signing the letter, but they do remember the strange dreams that follow its receipt. Dreams of signing a letter in the company of a man once a friend, now a stranger; of running from the shrill whistling of an invisible assailant; and of walking towards the trumpet sounds of a dying alien race. Visions of what was, what is, and what may yet come to pass.

This scenario is also an homage to Dungeons & Dragons scenarios of yesteryear, and The Shadow out of Time by H.P. Lovecraft.

Cthulhu Dreadfuls Presents #2 - Beyond the Flesh
The Brinoceros ($6.00, 84 page PDF)

Mystery Meets Murder and Mad-Science – When a series of animal mutilations ravage the rural community of Fenwickett, the Investigators are called upon to solve the mystery. Following a trail of bloody clues, they eventually uncover the thing responsible for the carnage.

Beyond the Flesh is an adventure scenario set in the Wystdovja Vale - a fictitious pseudo-European river valley located along the northwestern reaches of the Adriatic Sea, and set in the Gaslight Era of the 1890s.
