Opus Magi: the Catacombs of Paris

The Catacombs of Paris

The centuries' old, underground cemeteries of Paris.  On their own they are one of the most macabre, creepiest places on the planet.  Hardly a place the depths of which one would want to be wantonly thrown.  Yet, this is exactly where the player characters suddenly appear, magically gated deep into this graveyard of millions.

Rumors of dark cults and magical rituals have haunted the catacombs since their inception, not to mention the sightings of ghosts and experiences of the paranormal.  Thrill-seekers, party-goers, tourists, and adventurers all frequented the catacombs until several years ago, when the Paris authorities closed off these ossuaries of the dead due to some unexplained disappearances.  This has not, however, kept out those who are more determined.

The Catacombs of Paris is a rich, multi-session adventure, containing detailed descriptions of both encounters and non-player characters.  This module will expose the player characters to:

• spirits both benevolent and malevolent
• dangerous magical constructs
• capricious undead
• paranormal researchers
• mystical artifacts
• beautiful predatory vampires

The module also introduces the daughters of Sir Dunsay, and is a segue to the player characters becoming embroiled in the politics of this ancient, mystical House.

The Catacombs of Paris contains detailed, printable hex maps for both Referee and players, as well as reference materials for use during game-play.  Extensive Referee notes as well as ready-made NPC responses help the Referee conduct the game smoothly.
