The scenario offers several paths in to permit different types of investigators to participate. For instance, blue-collar workers may be hired as staff at the Dark Tower; literary, artistic, and musical types can be part of the performer lineup; and criminals can be sent by the crime lord Queenie St. Claire to find out who killed her man, James Reece. The introduction suggests that once the Keeper settles on a single path in, they can streamline the investigation by trimming extraneous NPCs from the scenario. In a similar vein, the scenario can more easily fit into a single session if the Keeper starts the events at the Dark Tower rather than roleplaying how the investigators got there.

''Les mystères de Marseille'' [Mysteries of Marseille] was a supplement for ''Call of Cthulhu'' that covered the [[France|French]] city of Marseille. Planned as a followup to Éditions Sans-Détour's ''[[Les mystères de Lyon]]'' [Mysteries of Lyon], the book would have covered the history of the French port city Marseille, as well as its myths and folklore, and its occult underbelly. The book was slated to introduce new Mythos creatures, as well. Rounding it out were new scenarios set in the city.

Although on the verge of release, ''Les mystères de Marseille'' was never released due to Sans-Détour losing the rights to publish ''Call of Cthulhu'' games in December 2018.

As written, Wilmore's time-altering spell doesn't start taking effect until late in the evening. However, the Keeper can easily move the weirdness earlier in the scenario, perhaps by having performers, guests, or staff of the Dark Tower disappear mysteriously. In searching for these lost people, the investigators may find themselves traveling through time to various points in Harlem's past, where they have to rescue the people who have gone missing. (The scenario has one such encounter, but it assumes the investigators rescue a woman from her own time and potentially pull her forward into the future.) Then, when Wilmore casts his spell more fully, the scenario can be run as written, with the Dark Tower shifted into a warped spacetime.

Another possibility to add tension to the scenario is to have Wilmore's nemesis, Gault, be present at the Dark Tower. As written, Gault is in Hollywood and doesn't play much role in the events except to stoke Wilmore's desire for revenge. Bringing him to Harlem (and perhaps turning Wilmore and Gault into playwrights rather than filmmakers) might open the door for more open conflict between Wilmore and his one-time partner.

Keeper Comments

The scenario offers several paths in to permit different types of investigators to participate. For instance, blue-collar workers may be hired as staff at the Dark Tower; literary, artistic, and musical types can be part of the performer lineup; and criminals can be sent by the crime lord Queenie St. Claire to find out who killed her man, James Reece. The introduction suggests that once the Keeper settles on a single path in, they can streamline the investigation by trimming extraneous NPCs from the scenario. In a similar vein, the scenario can more easily fit into a single session if the Keeper starts the events at the Dark Tower rather than roleplaying how the investigators got there.

As written, Wilmore's time-altering spell doesn't start taking effect until late in the evening. However, the Keeper can easily move the weirdness earlier in the scenario, perhaps by having performers, guests, or staff of the Dark Tower disappear mysteriously. In searching for these lost people, the investigators may find themselves traveling through time to various points in Harlem's past, where they have to rescue the people who have gone missing. (The scenario has one such encounter, but it assumes the investigators rescue a woman from her own time and potentially pull her forward into the future.) Then, when Wilmore casts his spell more fully, the scenario can be run as written, with the Dark Tower shifted into a warped spacetime.

Another possibility to add tension to the scenario is to have Wilmore's nemesis, Gault, be present at the Dark Tower. As written, Gault is in Hollywood and doesn't play much role in the events except to stoke Wilmore's desire for revenge. Bringing him to Harlem (and perhaps turning Wilmore and Gault into playwrights rather than filmmakers) might open the door for more open conflict between Wilmore and his one-time partner.
