[Chaosium] Harlem Unbound 2E: Chris Spivey's ENnie-winning Game is Back and Better!

Investigate the Cthulhu Mythos during the Harlem Renaissance. Chris Spivey's ENnie-winning breakthrough book is back and better than ever!

New York City.

Prohibition is in full swing and bootleggers are living high. African-Americans flee the oppressive South for greener pastures, creating a new culture in Harlem. The music of Fats Waller and Duke Ellington pours out of the city’s windows, while women in stylish skirts and silk stockings, and men in white gloves and Chesterfield coats crowd the sidewalks. There’s a feeling of possibility in the air, like never before.

But, even in this land of promise, Harlem is a powder keg, ready to explode. While classes and cultures collide, the horrors of the Cthulhu Mythos lurk beneath the streets, creeping through dark alleys and hidden doorways to infect the hopes and aspirations of the unwary.

Can you hold it together and keep the terrors at bay for one more song?

Because there's obviously so much discussion happening. If not for my little joke, this topic would be even more of a ghost town than it is. Clearly the community is not galvanized with excitement over this product; if a company is selling something nobody cares about, I don't owe it any "respect" or "consideration".

Mod Note: perhaps you didn’t see “Mod Note“ in Umbran’s response to you there. You’ve been here since 2013, you should know the rules prohibit sassing Re: moderation. Don’t post in this thread again and follow the rules if you wish to remain a member of the community.

Hey look kids! A racist clown!

1st edition was apparently great, so looking forward to jumping in on this. Might grab it before running Dead Man’s Stomp from the starter set.

The person you’re mocking has been booted from the thread.

An ad hominem attack in the form of name calling is both uncalled for- report it instead of attacking the poster- and in this case is directed against someone who cannot respond.

Be better.

Very much a fan of the 1st edition. But, does anyone know if the second edition still includes the Gumshoe rules?
