Posted by Michael O'Brien on 15th May 2023
After making its debut late last year, our historical Call of Cthulhu sourcebook Regency Cthulhu has certainly been a popular success in society. And independent Call of Cthulhu creators have embraced the setting too! Add these these Miskatonic Repository Regency Cthulhu adventures to your dance card after you've played the two included in the book!
The Well of All Fear
Kat Clay ($9.95, 82 page PDF)
When Mr Millwood, cad-about-town and local ne’er-do-well, goes missing in April 1813, his young sister has the most to lose. Miss Millwood’s fear for her brother is only exacerbated by her own terror; if he were found dead, the family estate would be inherited by a distant relative, leaving the unmarried Miss Millwood destitute. But the young rake has made many enemies in town. From bathhouses to gambling halls, balls to ancient ruins, investigators must track down the missing brother and determine who wishes him gone. In tracking down the young man, investigators must make a costly sacrifice to save the town.
