It is September 1927, and our intrepid investigators are on a rescue mission for the Miskatonic University deep in the jungles of Veracruz.
This episode is sponsored by the Of Sorrow and Clay, by Graeme Patrick. Of Sorrow and Clay is a dark tale about family that takes you deep into the Appalachian Mountains of 1920s Kentucky in search for your old Pa. As his neighbor Jack puts it, “he says it was time to go see his wife, Sadie.” The only problem is she went missing decades earlier, and the old coot hasn’t been back in days. With hat in hand, Jack is begging you to put your squabbling aside and help him find your father before he does something he’ll regret in those dark, foreboding woods.
This character-driven story comes with five detailed Pre-gens to pick from, each with their
own secrets and grudges to keep. You may not like each other, but blood is blood, and it
runs deep in the black soils of the holler.
Ladened with moral choices, Of Sorrow and Clay offers plenty of role-playing opportunities
and is perfect for conventions running for 3 to 4 hours. It also offers a host of GM guidance
to help you wrangle the wayward Taft family.
