An Invitation to The Shadow Over Providence

An evening of intrigue awaits in The Shadow Over Providence, a gripping scenario crafted for Call of Cthulhu enthusiasts. Set amidst the chilling backdrop of Providence, Rhode Island on August 25, 1928, players are drawn to the Milton Hotel, where a remarkable exhibition of ancient Egyptian artifacts beckons. This is not just a visit to a museum, but an opportunity steeped in mystery and potentially dark encounters.

Unearth Secrets of the Past

The exhibition, "The Kingdom of Fire--Egypt's 18th Dynasty," showcases rare artifacts, including treasures famously associated with Tutankhamun and Hatshepsut. With Dr. Caitlin Bronson, the exhibition’s curator, on site to illuminate the tales behind these ancient relics, players can uncover knowledge that extends beyond history books. Are these artifacts truly just history, or are they tied to something far more sinister?

Encounter the Unfathomable

Among the artifacts, players will discover the canopic jar of Ibnhotep the Mad, a centerpiece that raises questions rather than answers. The allure of this item draws historians, scholars, and even those who engage in black-market dealings. What powerful secrets lay buried within this exhibition, and what dangers lurk around them? The thrill of exploration is imbued with foreboding, promising players a night of unexpected twists and turns.
