The Arkham Gazette #0 - The Aylesbury Pike: Free demo issue

[SentinelHillPress]

This issue of the Arkham Gazette was developed as a 'proof of concept' test to see if the idea for a magazine focused on the Lovecraft Country setting for The Call of Cthulhu RPG was feasible and if there was interest.  First released in August of 2013, this newly revamped version of the issue has been updated to our current format, the articles within have been revised, two pieces of artwork by Galen Pejeau added, and a new article has been included as well.

The theme for this issue is The Aylesbury Pike, the (fictional) road running between Arkham and Aylesbury, which forms a parallel backbone for Lovecraft Country along with the Miskatonic River. 

The PDF of this 43 page issue is free, a Print on Demand version costs $3 plus shipping.

Contents include:

• New place: The Amos-Goodrich Cemetery
• New England's Highways, an introduction
• A History of the Aylesbury Pike
• New person: Curtis Sloan, "Encyclopedia Salesman"
• A Guide to New England's Petroglyphs and those found in Lovecraft Country
• A short encounter - Mr. Picket Goes a Huntin'
• **NEW** A scenario seed - The Phantom of the Aylesbury Pike
• SCENARIO: "The Chapochaug Tunnel Haunting"
• An annotated list of scenarios set on or near (or are otherwise connected to) the Aylesbury Pike.

A conversion guide for using this material with the 7th Edition Call of Cthulhu rules is forthcoming, as is a separate PDF of this issue's handouts.

Just a quick update - we've added 7th Edition Call of Cthulhu rules conversion notes and a separate handout PDF to the issue #0 files on DriveThru.

The font and layout are beautiful and the material is wonderful.  I always love adventure seeds for kicking off play, historical information also makes for a much richer game experience and a well-written scenario complete with attractive handouts completes a great magazine.

Thanks!

Thank you!  I'm glad you liked it. 

Issue #3 is also available currently and issues #1 & #2 are being reworked for re-release (as with issue #0) hopefully soon, while we are currently working on issue #4, the theme of which is Kingsport.

(And if you'd like to post a rating or review of either issue, that would be most welcome. )
