EVENT DESCRIPTION
This is a complex murder mystery adapted from the New York chapter of the Award winning Masks of Nyarlathotep roleplaying campaign published by Chaosium. Each participant will reprise the role of a character found within the campaign book or the Masks of Nyarlathotep Companion as they attempt to uncover the mystery, gather (or conceal!) the evidence and perhaps even bump off the opposition.
In keeping with the theme of the event, tea and coffee, sparkling water, fruit, biscuits and scones, are all included within the ticket price and will be available throughout the event. Please advise us if you have any food allergies or dietary restrictions. You'd be surprised by what we can accommodate these days so please don't be shy in letting us know.
You can purchase tickets over here and enter the draw to win a free ticket by sharing the pinned post on the Adelaide Roleplaying Community Inc. Facebook Page.
PREMISE
The Carlyle Expedition to Africa disappeared several years ago only to be declared dead after a short and lazy investigation by colonial forces. Just last year in 1924, the intrepid journalist and cult investigator, Jackson Elias, decided to pick up the trail and determine what really happened to famous playboy millionaire, Roger Carlyle, and his fellow expedition members. His trail blazed across Africa, England, even Australia, before returning to New York only to be brutally murdered in his own hotel room.
Erica Carlyle, sister to Roger Carlyle and sole heir of Carlyle Industries, has invited you all to her estate so that she can finally get to the bottom of this mess of conspiracy and horrors. Some of you have connived to get an invitation through means both foul and fair. Others have been explicitly invited either because they knew the principal expedition members or were part of those who were present at Jackson Elias' crime scene.
But wait, there's more! Perhaps to bait the hook and ensure the culprit's attendance at the event, Erica Carlyle has declared her intention to auction Roger Carlyle's mysterious collection of occult tomes partway through the night.
