About the adventure
Three identical men found dead in the same room of the Chelsea Arms Hotel. Each of them stabbed through the heart. The unexplained killings see the investigators embark on a thousand-mile journey on the legendary rail service to Constantinople—the Gateway of the Orient. 19 scenarios across 700 pages, Horror on the Orient Express is a modern classic. The adventure takes the intrepid investigators from London, to Paris, and to the ancient city of Constantinople. Optional scenarios set in in the Dark Ages, Gaslight Era, and the Dreamlands, allow players to experience the origins of pivotal moments of the campaign. Additionally, a scenario set in the modern day acts as an epilogue to the generation-spanning story. 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...
