Arkham Dark
A 1920s roleplaying game of cosmic horror, set in shadowed streets where investigators confront forbidden knowledge and creatures from beyond space and time. It uses a variant of the Shadowdark rules, replacing traditional classes with professions such as Antiquarian, Doctor, and Federal Agent, each defined by specialized skill aptitudes. Players investigate mysteries, use period weapons and armor, learn dangerous Mythos magic, and manage downtime through activities ranging from high-society events to underworld dealings. A Sanity system tracks the psychological effects of encounters with the unknown.
