Lovecraftesque: Waves of Darkness

A supplement for Lovecraftesque. This expansion pack focuses on those who rule and those who struggle against them. Who wields power? What atrocities will they commit to keep that power? What terrible forces lurk in the shadows of their throne?

A set of four unique scenarios for Lovecraftesque. Consists of a set of 52 cards in a printed tuckbox.

Citadels Of Shadow includes these scenarios:

  • The Hidden Cabinet by Helen Gould. A scenario about whispered rumours, duplicitous politicians, and what really happens in the corridors of power. What will you find behind these closed doors?

  • The Sea Hungers by Thomas Manuel. It's Bombay in 1728. As the East India Company recovers from a ferocious defeat at the hands of legendary pirate admiral Kanhoji Angre, a naive, young marine discovers a sinister plot involving sacrifice and spirals of blood.

  • We Serve and Protect by Kenneth Hite. A long hot summer of protests rocks the streets of Chicago in the 1970s, and you rock with them. Until the cops pen you in, snatch you up, and take you to the precinct house, where worse things than rubber hoses wait in the basement. The Chicago Police Department serves and protects... but what inhuman entity do the cops who have you serve? What dark secrets do they protect?

  • Wolfshead by Joshua Fox. Sherwood, Nottinghamshire, in the 13th century. A hapless cutpurse robs the wrong person and finds themselves in possession of a strange item. Now they have the Baron's men hunting for them - but that may not be the worst thing that stalks the night.

Each scenario can be played and replayed, and can also be combined with cards from the core deck and those from other scenarios to create even more stories.
