The game is just for my current gaming group so it is currently full. Though comments from those outside the game are welcome.  The game is set in 1926 San Francisco. It is a blend of the pulp mystery stories of Dashall Hammet and cosmic horror tales of H.P. Lovecraft.  All the players have some connection with the Hearst-Gilliam Publishing House and its magazines: "The Black Mask", a monthly mystery/horror magazine, and "The Public Eye", a weekly tabloid.  I am restarting the game after The Haunting of Elmer Standish. Every thing that happened in Bad Spirits the game with the haunted bottles of wine never happened.   The Players:  Deacon Faust Deacon Faust, born in 1900 to the late Dr. Emerson Faust and his wife Emelia. Led the typical life of luxury at his family's estate in Marin County. Was a gifted athlete and indifferent student which along with the Faust fortune enabled him to attend Harvard University. Two months shy of graduating, Deacon's parents were killed when their private plane crashed in the mountains of Northern California. Emotionally devastated he withdrew form college. As the sole heir Deacon inherited a sizable estate. With his new found fortune he traveled the world for the next few years learning many things along the way. He studied mysticism in India and Thailand, martial arts in China and Japan. He sailed with smugglers and pirates in the South China Sea. Fought with and against mercenaries in Mongolia. All the while searching for some meaning in his life. Eventually, as the idle rich often do, he became bored and returned to San Francisco. On his return, he frequented many of the hot night spots and fell in with some of the local ne'er do wells. He has been known to smuggle booze on his yacht for the owners of some of the speak-easies and has been seen with some low-level gangsters. Of course the local papers love this, as they can write about this son of a former society matron slumming with the dregs. Deacon is an altruist in the purest form, frequently opening his home to those less fortunate souls much to the chagrin of his faithful butler, Godfrey.</blockquote>
