The Forby Masterwork: A Call of Cthulhu One-Shot

DETAILS
The Forby Masterwork

A Call of Cthulhu Scenario in the Heat of 1890

In the waning days of a rare English summer, the gardens of Chelsea lie parched and brittle. At Forby House, a once-proud manor now cloaked in silence and shadow, the drought has done more than wither the land—it has stirred something long buried.

You and your fellow Investigators are summoned into a world of faded grandeur and festering secrets. A missing gem, said to be cursed, has vanished from the family vault. Its absence reopens old wounds and awakens a legacy of violence that refuses to die.

As tempers fray and the air thickens with heat and dread, the line between memory and malevolence begins to blur.
