 s Investigations after Lovecraft
-Edited by David Conyers and Glyn White
+''Edited by David Conyers and Glyn White''
-* [[The Art of Madness]]: A strange grave robbery and the disappearances of three artists draw the investigators to a bizarre school in subterranean Boston. (Brian Courtemanche)
+The House of R'lyeh contains five scenarios that closely follow the events of H.P. Lovecraft stories. They are set in Boston, Providence, the British Isles, continental Europe and the Middle East. None of the scenarios need to be played at set dates or in a set order, but they could be run in the order presented to form a loose campaign using optional links between scenarios to draw investigators from one to the other.
-* [[The Crystal of Chaos]]: A search for a fabulous semi-mythical crystal leads the investigators to a horror heretofore unknown (Peter Gilham with David Conyers)
+Alternatively, the scenarios may be used to supplement classic Call of Cthulhu campaigns such as The Shadows of Yog-Sothoth and The Fungi from Yuggoth, the latter currently in print as The Day of the Beast, both of which suggest their component scenarios should be interspersed with others.
-* [[The Return of the Hound]]: The sale of a very rare edition of the Necronomicon draws investigators to Yorkshire following the murder of the former owner and the suicide of his supposed killer in Amsterdam (Glyn White)
+* The first scenario in this book, [[The Art of Madness]] (Brian Courtemanche) follows on from the events of the Lovecraft tale [[Pickman’s Model]]. Artist of the macabre, Richard Upton Pickman, is now a ghoul living a subterranean netherworld beneath Boston creating a new school of art. There are several ways that player characters might be drawn into investigating his macabre activities and, while dangerous, Pickman’s intent is not particularly lethal. The difficulty for investigators will be to resolve the situation without becoming compromised.
-* [[The Jermyn Horror]]: A creature of nightmare bound inside a crumbling and abandoned mansion seeks its freedom, and the investigators might prove to be the perfect vessels to accomplish such ends (David Conyers)
+* While in New England, the investigators discover [[The Crystal of Chaos]] (Peter Gilham with David Conyers), a retelling of the events of Lovecraft’s [[The Haunter of the Dark]]. Hired by professors of Miskatonic University, the investigator seek out a fabled crystal with origins in Ancient Egypt, but they soon find a far greater evil lurks in an abandoned church in Providence. This scenario originally appeared in Different Worlds issue 34, May/June 1984, and has been expanded and revised in this publication.
-* [[Nameless City, Nameless Terrors]]: When an ancient and forgotten city buried in the sands of Arabia is rediscovered, its unearthed secrets might spell the end of human civilization (Brian M. Sammons)
+* [[The Return of the Hound]] (Glyn White) draws investigators to an auction in Yorkshire, in England, where a rare edition of the Necronomicon is going to be sold. The previous owners, the decadent occultists from Lovecraft’s [[The Hound]], are dead, as that tale recounts, but what they unearthed in 'a Holland churchyard' has grown strong, and has schemes of its own to fulfill. The amount of danger the investigators face is dependent on how determined they are not to let this Necronomicon fall into the wrong hands.
 This will be a full book, with illustrations and maps and nice print production. The scenarios follow directly on from the events of Lovecraft's stories [[Pickman's Model]], [[The Haunter in the Darkness]], [[The Hound]], [[Arthur Jermyn]] and [[The Nameless City]].
