This is a fantastic scenario set in the heart of New Orleans during the height of the classic era for Call of Cthulhu.
taking the format of a meeting of people who are invited to dine with an old friend who is then unexpectedly delayed this starts out in a similar way to many other scenarios. However the start is literally just the tip of this mystery and as you travel around gatheri g information the sense of dread rises with the humidity of the setting.
Without providing spoilers this game is superb as a start of a New Orleans campaign or even as it is written as a post prelude (Peru) but pre Chapter 1 (New York) game for slotting into the Masks of Nyarlathothep campaign.
The tale is made all the more disturbing by the incredible detail presented in a number of scenes and the links to several practices of the period.
Overall it is highly enjoyable and whats more fantasti value either on its own or bought as a part of a bundle.
p.s. the pre gen characters are really great and could form back up characters for other chapters of Masks if you so desired.
