The author's note suggests that "Harlem (K)nights" is intended to be an introduction to Harlem as a setting. The scenario sends investigators to various Harlem neighborhoods, giving the Keeper the opportunity to highlight how they are different from one another.
Keeper Comments
The scenario is a sandbox designed to accommodate different types of investigators and offer several trails of clues. Several scenario starts accommodate Harlem locals, out-of-towners called in to look into Scott "Flip" Wilmore's disappearance, New York Jews tasked with investigating the disappearance of a synagogue regular by Rabbi Silverstein, independent journalists or detectives, or military veterans called in by retired Harlem Hellfigter Samuel Wright. Likewise, the trails of clues include looking into a stolen truck, a truckload of missing dirt, gang attacks, and a visit to Harlem by Albert Einstein. This open-mindedness gives investigators a great deal of freedom, but it also potentially makes the scenario complicated for Keepers to run.
