Our friends the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society have released a new astonishingly 'proptastic' licensed Call of Cthulhu adventure, The Spark Devil.
Providence, Rhode Island. The year is 1935 and the Great Depression is in full swing. The sudden and inexplicable death of a local electrician catapults Investigators into an inquiry steeped in madness, mystery, and dark powers. Can the they bring comfort to a grieving widow, or does the death merely presage greater horrors that await?
The Spark Devil is an original scenario written by the HPLHS' Sean Branney with a fantastic set of props created by Andrew Leman. The adventure makes extensive use of real Providence history and locations to create the most authentic setting possible. Investigators can explore Lovecraft's home town as they strive to stave off an entirely new Mythos threat. Both newcomers to Call of Cthulhu and seasoned veterans will find this story an engaging mystery filled with perilous surprises.
The deluxe box set measures 13.5 x 11.75 x 4.5 inches and weighs almost 5 pounds!
"When the HPLHS says The Spark Devil contains "cinema-quality" gamer props, rest assured they aren't kidding: their previous ingenious creations for Call of Cthulhu have won multiple ENNIE Awards, including Product of the Year – twice", said Chaosium vice president Michael O'Brien.
The Spark Devil is available now as a special order direct from the HPLHS.
