About the adventure
Three identical men are discovered dead in a single room at the Chelsea Arms Hotel, each pierced cleanly through the heart. From this impossible crime, investigators are drawn into a mystery that carries them a thousand miles east aboard a legendary rail line to Constantinople—the Gateway of the Orient. Spanning 19 scenarios and more than 700 pages, Horror on the Orient Express stands as a modern classic. The campaign sweeps bold investigators from London to Paris, onward through Europe, and finally to the ancient streets of Constantinople. Optional scenarios set in the Dark Ages, the Gaslight Era, and the Dreamlands invite players to witness the origins of key moments in the campaign’s long, haunted history. A final scenario set in the modern day serves as an epilogue, closing a story that stretches across generations. We will use the classic mode rather than pulp, the difficulty adjustments will be done for better survivability

About me
Hello everyone, I’m Max, and I’ve been involved in tabletop RPGs since the days of AD&D. Over the years, I’ve experienced a wide range of systems and played with a lot of different people. Currently, I primarily run games of Call of Cthulhu and Pathfinder, though I have a broad background in other games as well. Looking forward to some great games together! I am currently experimenting with the game listings covers, trying to get at least some use from that art history course I've taken. Oh, well...
