What is Dr. Karlow up to now?

Horror in an insane asylum. What's not to love?

Imagine you are Dr. Young. You throw down a coin to buy the right to say what happens next. Make up what you find in Karlov's lab. Now pick another player to be your referee. As referee you decide how likely an action is to happen. Is it likely? Unlikely? Dr. Young then rolls to find out if the discovery becomes a fact. Bit by bit the terror is revealed. It's real time storytelling.
