Synopsis

 Spoiler Section (Highlight to Read)
Reporter Sydney Silver disappears while investigating the sighting of a monstrous figure in the streets of New York. Clues lead the PCs to Ambrose Mogens, millionaire, philanthropist and owner of the Mogens Institute for Advanced Studies. Secretly, Mogens is an ageless sorcerer and leader of The Half Moon cult, devoted to the worship of the Black Man, one of the many faces of Nyarlathotep. The cult is conducting eugenics experiments, using science and eldritch powers to create a new species of humans who will be proper servants of the Black Man.
