Comments

This adventure is best suited for an Investigator with bibliophile bent, be they a rare book collector, librarian or simple entranced by the various Mythos novels. It may equally be suited to a private investigator or police officer, as a good detail of detective work is required in the opening scenes. The author suggests that it is a rather draining experience for a prospective protagonists, and that should have at least a POW of 15 and a current SAN of 65 or more to see the story through. Note: The sample character - William Townsend: Determined Book Collector - has been created specifically for this adventure, and can be found in the Pre - Generated Characters appendix at the end of this opuscule.
