| − | Leroy Turner is a jazz-man; he has a drinking problem, a broken heart, and an astonishing ability granted to him through a trumpet he believes to have belonged the great jazz musician Louis Armstrong, but was actually given to him by Nyarlathotep: the trumpet can raise the dead. When some gangsters wind of this ability and decide to use it to raise an assassinated gang member from the grave, it sets Leroy, the gangsters, and the investigators on a path of tragedy and destruction culminating in a horrific confrontation at the Blue Heaven Ballroom.

| − | ===Comments===
| |
| − | List dedication, trivia, images, anything else of note.
| |
| − | * Louis Armstrong, a famous ("real life") jazz musician of the 1920s, appears as a character in the scenario that investigators might come in contact with, at least by long-distance phone calls.

| |
| − | ===Keeper Comments===
| |
| − | Comments to Keepers about this scenario;
| |
| − | Possibly how to run it successfully.
| |
| − | Keep general DISCUSSION on the talk page.
| |
| − | * For: 2 to 5 players, plus Keeper; Approximate playtime: one to two sessions.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Setting: Heavily tied to the 1920s in "any large American city", with the city vague enough to be moved around; could perhaps be moved to another country and era with local racial/ethnic tensions after some minor rewriting (Gaslight India might be a possibility, for example; modern underground rap, punk, or metal subcultures have been suggested by some keepers as well as loose modern equivalents to the scenario's jazz culture.)
| |
| − | | |
| − | Special Notes: Note that race is important in the scenario as-written: much of the scenario's original flavor comes from the racial segregation and tensions of the 1920s United States, which some players may find too much of a "trigger" to enjoy as a game setting. This is described as either a starter scenario, or a casual scenario for more experienced investigators who "just want to relax", and is estimated to be able to be completed in a long afternoon. Based on the simplicity and brevity, some reviewers expect the scenario to be a little too straightforward, in danger of relying too much on "railroading" with little to ensure that investigators "stay on the tracks", and no obvious potential for expansion and elaboration beyond the simple concept and short series of scenes, though these same qualities have made the scenario a popular suggestion for new keepers to run as their first scenario.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Sequel Plot Hooks: none by default, though ''[[Masks of Nyarlathotep]]'' is a popular suggestion for a follow-up campaign for this starter scenario. Though intended as a beginner/early/introductory scenario, it lends itself well to being inserted anywhere in a larger campaign as something that happens incidentally while investigators are looking for other clues.
