For that you get a lot of content -- four books totaling over 700 pages, a GM screen, a bonus adventure, two card decks, and even a music album!<a href="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/309847/The-Yellow-King-Roleplaying-Game?affiliate_id=76598" target="_blank">[ATTACH=full]121103[/ATTACH]</a>It's a GUMSHOE-powered game inspired by Robert W. Chambers' <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King_in_Yellow" target="_blank">The King in Yellow</a>, a book of macabre supernatural short stories, which was one of Lovecraft's influences. Lovecraft himself used elements of the book (and the stage play), and in Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu RPG the King in Yellow is an avatar of Hastur.This RPG contains four setting books (the core rules are in the first). In one players are American art students investigating vampires and aliens in Paris; in the next, the players are soldiers in Europe 1947 on an eerie, shifting battlefield; the third has them in 2017 America after a civil war; and the last portrays the modern day permeated by supernatural beings.Oh, there's a teaser trailer![MEDIA=youtube]eAkys9-8hL0[/MEDIA]</blockquote>
