Keeper Comments
- The scenario opens in Arkham and moves to Partridgeville after the initial phases. An accompanying article in Challenge, Issue 46 provides rules and stats for the Space Eaters. The author sets the adventure in 1920, which I feel is a bit too early, Keepers may wish to move events to after those of the Dunwich Horror.
- The handouts listed will have to be made by the Keeper as they are embedded in the text of the scenario.
- If it is intended to use the scenario as part of a campaign, the character of Harold Langly should be established prior to running the scenario.
- A copy of the original short story should also prove useful.
Keep general DISCUSSION on the talk page.
