Aid them in finding the truth behind a grisly murderer that stalks the streets of London in the late 19th century. This Horror-Mystery campaign is not for the faint of heart. The players will find themselves following a gruesome trail left behind by a killer known in the newsprint as simply "The Ripper". Use your wits, brawn, and charm to uncover clues. Work alongside or against various organizations in White Chapel London during the late 19th century. A time where industry began to gain its foothold in the city. Undertake the grim grey underbelly of White Chapel then overcome its most infamous killer and the mysterious cult that always seems to be orbiting these crimes. Keep your stomach and your sanity as you dig deeper for the truth in this Jack the Ripper inspired Call of Cthulhu Campaign.

About me
Hello, Experienced GM here, obsessed with collaborative storytelling. My heart truly belongs to tabletop gaming. What started as a copy of Blood Bowl that I didn't actually know the rules for later turned into being "Forever DM" to long form D&D 5e campaigns, OSR campaigns, and too many whacky one-shot adventures. Over the last 12 years of being a GM, I've relished the moments I've been able to convince my friends and family to set aside some time and delve into the absurdity of our imaginations.

What Jim brings to the table
Grim set pieces in a variety of locations will display the mood and context of a dark time in late 19th century London. Characters, grounded in reality, will either aid or deter the players investigation in this murder mystery. The players can expect a heavily roleplayed and vibrantly narrated horror mystery story in which they will be asked to make critical decisions while testing their skills in uncovering the truth.
