The Future’s Shadow

ADD TO WISHLIST >

David de Grey inherited the family mansion from his eccentric aunt Matilda. He has moved there with his wife Catherine and started to have nightmares about the beast chasing and devouring him. He is convinced that the house itself is haunted and has bad influence on him, so he decides to ask for help from his brother Ethan, the paranormal researcher. Ethan and his assistant Larry arrive at David’s house to investigate the case.

During their examination it turns out that the house is in fact haunted by ghosts. Thanks to Ethan’s devices, the Investigators can actually see the specters inhabiting the mansion. Their stories speak of the great tragedy that happened there over one hundred years ago…

“The Future’s Shadow” is the scenario for the 7th edition of Call of Cthulhu role-playing game. It was designed for a group of two to four Investigators. The scenario is a classic horror story and it was constructed to gradually increase tension. During the game the players’ characters investigate the history of an old mansion, discovering the family secret in the process. The scenario provides an intense session full of tension and terror.

The Investigators are directly entangled in the story and they have to uncover all its elements together. They are also connected with mutual relations and secrets which are the key aspects of the play. The story was designed to highlight all relationships and to uncover all secrets. Nevertheless, the players’ decisions are most important and they have crucial influence on the course of the plot.

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.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
