A beautiful keepers screen with largely what you'd want on the keepers side is the main part of this extensive pack. There's some helpful but not essential maps of Lovecraftian locales, Arkham and Lovecraft Country. The two scenarios included are of high quality but the first is a corruption tale

of backwoods Lovecraft country, similar in manner to the degenerative nature of Dunwich. The second, in my option, better, scenario involves gangsters trying to investigate a missing burglar in Arkham itself. Both of chaosiums publications H P Lovecrafts Arkham and Dunwich, would be of some use, but are not essential. Good scenarios, and deadly too, which could lead to a total party kill, but won't hold experienced players for long. These are accompanied by good pre generated characters for use. Recommended.
