Something Wicked...

This is a game of HP Lovecraft's American War of Independence set in the Shadowbrooke neighborhood of Philadelphia, based on the location of A Touch of Evil. We will play this on Friday, 9-24 at Dieters house (most likely).

The System

For this iteration we will use Deadlands: Invasion. Since some characters may have supernatural abilities the starting skills may be adjusted up on those who do not. I will do my best to provide balance to all.

The Scenario

As in the original scenario, all of the PCs have been plagued by nightmares of a coming doom. In these dreams they are all told that it is they who must save not only Philadelphia, but all of the new world. All of the characters know Inspector Cooke.

The Haunting Begins

Its a cold autumn morn, rain is falling and a wind chills the faces of the group. They are all here, yet they do not know how they knew to come here, only that they did. Each of them sees the other and suspects, no, knows, that these others share their knowledge. Previously, it had led to nothing but laughs. But now their nightmares had substance, and now there were others who knew as well.

Each of them stare down at the tracks in the mud. Its clearly a horse, and it was moving at a brisk pace. But it is not the hoof prints which chill the souls of all present. It is the drips of blood which litter the trail beside them.
