RPG 1-shot: "The Yellow King" (GM Ethan)

Paris, 1895. You came here from America to study the Arts, but you could not have known of the power, the evil, lurking beneath the surface of the glittering world of playhouses & cafes.

In the darkest corners of literary salons, in whispers overheard in coffee-houses, they ask: "have you seen it?" And in the wine-soaked alleys and backstage haunts, they wonder: "has it seen you?"

Rumors have arisen of the publication of a play - new or rediscovered, with a sungular name: The King in Yellow - an infamous work, credited with reputed world-altering properties. Audiences driven mad. Actors and scholars driven to the most desparate acts. And behind it all, a conspiracy of evil that threatens the sanity of the world.

Dare you solve the mystery? Join us for this Gumshoe-System RPG set in a Lovecraftian world of mystery and cosmic threat!
