The 1950s noir stories of rocketships & rayguns you read under cover of dark are coming to life before your eyes. Will you become a victim of Parsons's "Big Hoodoo"?
Description:
Lovecraftian noir in 1950s California with a ripped-from-history plot centered on the explosive death of real-world rocket scientist, science fiction fan, and occultist Jack Parsons in a garage laboratory in 1952. The investigators are iconic figures active in the science fiction scene at the time of Parsons's death, and their inquiries lead them from the mean streets of Pasadena to the edge of the Mojave Desert and the mountains of southern California as well as the beaches of Los Angeles. Play sci-fi great Robert Heinlein, his ex-Navy engineer wife Virginia, renowned editor and mystery writer Tony Boucher, or a young Philip K. Dick as they confront the lunatic fringe in La-La Land, and find themselves caught in a charlatan's web of chicanery, mendacity, and deceit - laced with a strong strand of Mythos menace.
In a forgotten corner of Northern England, between the rolling hills and tranquil dales nestles a village plagued by terrible secrets. There are monsters beneath the earth, closer than you think.
Set during a 1931 summit attempt of Mount Mckinely, alpinists confronted with a horror beyond imagining will come to miss the more mundane deaths offered by their sport.
Description:
The Fall Without End takes place at Mount McKinley in 1931. As America comes to grips with the real cost of Black Tuesday, the government becomes desperate to find distractions for an increasingly rebellious population stirred by endless woes. As Lindbergh proved, the people love nothing more than heroes capable of great deeds, and the government is willing to buy itself some at any price. Players take the roles of the brave alpanists risking their lives for a photo op. But the mountain is far older than any human civilization and home to terrors far worse than any economic recession. As characters struggle up the infamous Wickersham Wall, will they be able to survive the combined onslaught of the elements, gravity, and vertiginous horrors from another reality?
This is scenario is from the collection No Security: Horror Scenarios in the Great Depression and will be run by the author.
