TATTERS OF THE KING is a Call of Cthulhu campaign suitable for four to six investigators: ideally one should be a psycho-analyst or alienist and published in this field, and one or more of the others should be involved in the creative arts. It is convenient if the investigators live in or near London, but one or all can be foreign-based if they are prepared to Britain to address events. Detailed advice on options for involving the player characters is provided.
Hastur's Gaze Gains Focus on the Earth
The stars are right. Hastur's gaze gains brief focus upon the Earth, and things change.
It is October 1928. London is the capital of an empire covering a quarter of the glove and governing one quarter of the human race. The people busy themselves with concernso f politics and government, finance and production, work and recreation. How fragile things are. What ignorance there is.
There are those who engage in different pursuits--who would see an inhuman power come to Earth such that it would make mundane activity seem like a last twitch before dying.
Over this winter its taint emerges: the sensitive and the weak feel it first. Few know the source, but some welcome it unconsciously--finding it in an unexamined thrill. Artists' work is strangely influenced, and they mine this vein of creativity. Many exhibitions this season feature similar images: a social gathering gripped by repressed panic; a lake or march cloaked in mist; a prescence just off-canvas. New fiction and theatrical releases offer scenes of upheaval and confusion that never reach a climax. Seances and mediumistic exhibitions bring untoward results and end in disruption. Others feel new lines of communication opening; some claim God is talking to them.
All feel the lure of the stars. |
