A Lark in a Cage

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Suggested Price $7.00

A two-to-three session scenario for the Gaslight period of Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition.

The year is 1895. Oscar Wilde’s trial has just concluded, making the news across London. In Deptford, a family discovers that their child has been replaced by . . . something else. When the investigators take the case, they find themselves on a tour across the soot-choked streets of East London, revealing new threats to the city, wicked enemies, and even wickeder allies as they race against the clock to save the child.

Includes six pre-generated investigators, as well as support for including the scenario into your own ongoing gaslight campaign, and period-specific setting information covering the East End of London, a city that is remarkably unclean, with squalor and wealth coexisting side-by-side. These are the days of child sweatshops and clouds of smoke that form an infamous, unhealthy smog. The investigators will have to navigate this world, of both natural and unnatural dangers, if they want to survive.

Content warning: this scenario includes imperiled children and historical homophobia.

What I most love about this scenario is that there are several parties and quests woven together, and players don't necessarily have to get along with and complete all of them. Personally I also like that the name of the adventure doesn't rev [...]

I had the pleasure of running this scenario as part of a playtest, and wanted to share that our group had a lot of fun with this one. One thing in particular I wanted to mention (not a spoiler) is how the pregens used a dynamic that I've not seen used [...]

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
