The Arkham Gazette #4

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Then beyond the hill’s crest I saw Kingsport outspread frostily in the gloaming; snowy Kingsport with its ancient vanes and steeples, ridgepoles and chimney-pots, wharves and small bridges, willow-trees and graveyards; endless labyrinths of steep, narrow, crooked streets, and dizzy church-crowned central peak that time durst not touch; ceaseless mazes of colonial houses piled and scattered at all angles and levels like a child’s disordered blocks... 

Welcome to Kingsport! Our long-promised fourth full issue, which we have dubbed "Kingsport: Dreams" has arrived at last. Within these pages we explore some of the mysteries of this fog-draped sleepy village of legend. From the wave-lapped rocks of Pilot Island, to the barnacle-crusted pilings of the dockside, through the crooked lanes and alleys, and spiraling up to the summit of Kingsport Head, Kingsport beckons you.

This issue includes the following thirteen articles:

  • Locations in Greater Kingsport: New places to explore in Kingsport, drawn from earlier scenarios and the minds of our writers.
  • Hooper's Pond and the Old Brick Powderhouse: Two strange spots west of Kingsport, where odd things have been seen.
  • The Hall School: Only girls from the finest families in the Miskatonic Valley attend this boarding school, like noted alumna Miss Asenath Waite...
  • Neil's Curiosity Shop and Other Oddities: The collection (and collector) of Kingsport's strangest tourist attraction is examined.
  • Kingsport Curios: Seven strange artifacts one might find in Kingsport, from a ship in a bottle to a collection of prothetic hands.
  • 13 Kingsport Ghosts: An extended prop document, exploring the many ghost stories of Kingsport, with more scenario hooks than you can shake a harpoon at.
  • Alton Blackington: A historical journalist, photographer, and storyteller, presented as an NPC for your game.
  • Franklin Waite Price: A fictional folk-artist whose favorite subject is Kingsport's past, descibed as an NPC.
  • De Vermiis Mysteris: A deep-dive into Robert Bloch's most famed Cthulhu Mythos creation, the nightmarish tome written by the wizard Ludwig Prinn.
  • Visions from Yaddith: An unearthly book of poems, as created by Lin Carter, that laments the doom of an alien world.
  • Dr. Goddard's Rocket Test: Modern science is coming to Kingsport; this scene allows your investigators to play a role in the famed researcher's latest attempts in rocketry.
  • Bones of Contention: A scenario of secrets long buried, from the mind of the author of Kingsport: the City in the Mists, himself Kevin Ross.
  • A Kingsport Bibliography: For Keepers who want to explore the stories behind the setting; an annotated list of every Cthulhu Mythos story that includes Kingsport and what details (if any) it provides about the town.

(Our next issue will continue our exploration of Kingsport in "Kingsport: Visions and Nightmares".)

My main reason for buying this would be the "De Vermiis Mysteris" article. Does anyone know if this comes with any new Spells or equipment?

The article describes the book and its history (as best players might piece it together) as well as what they might learn about the author and previous owners. The article also describes the contents, chapter by chapter, including suggested spells (one of which is new, for which provide information.) Finally there are some quotes, taken from various Cthulhu Mythos stories, from the book, and statistics for this particular copy of the book.

I kept getting a "failed" error. It seemed like the file path for the pdf was incorrect or something. However, I was able to download it a bit later today, so all is well now!

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
