 The book contains extensive background information about this New England town -- pertinent buildings, useful people, and important locations are described in depth. Scenarios are provided: the most lengthy and notable being a unique multi-stranded adventure in which the players get to take on the roles of various participants in the US Government raid on Innsmouth. All strands of this scenario are intended to be run in parallel, with the action cutting between different story-lines in a cinematic presentation.
-To date, Chaosium have published two editions of this sourcebook. While the nature and detail of the Innsmouth setting has not changed greatly between editions, the second edition incorporates some additional scenario elements and fiction, as indicated below.

-The Innsmouth book is the fourth and final (to-date) sourcebook in Chaosium's series describing the core [[Lovecraft Country]] setting. Unlike the other books in this series, which all describe their locales in a nominal time frame of October 1928, this book is set slightly earlier in autumn of 1928. This time is chosen as being after the protagonist in Lovecraft's story visited the town but before the government raid which followed as a consequence of that visit.
