The Classic Adventure, Complete

One of earliest human myth cycles is that of the dark trickster. This stranger appears without warning, and before he leaves, the world has been irrevocably changed. Sometimes this change seems for the better, but more often it is change for the worst. The trickster brings confusion and chaos into the world of people, who therefore dread his visitations. Modern men believe him to be the boogey-man of simpler, more primitive minds. There are those of us who know otherwise — those who still fear that the trickster will once again visit our world and change it, forever.— From the memoirs of R.L. Cullinan

At last the stars are almost right. Soon Nyarlathotep's plans will come to fruition. Then the world will be changed irrevocably — but not quite yet. Pesky human investigators have learned much. Now they must survive long enough to make sense of what they know, and take resolute action.

This roleplaying classic is a series of linked adventures forming one long and unforgettable campaign. Horrifying deeds and dangerous sorcery dog those who dare attempt to unravel the fate of the Carlyle Expedition. The non-linear narrative keeps players baffled and on their toes. Action is the byword as the player-characters evade or combat cultists, magic, mad men, and the dread powers of the Outer Gods.

Masks of Nyarlathotep was voted the Best Roleplaying Adventure by the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts & Design at the 1997 Origins Awards.
