Spirit of the Tentacle

A pulp adventure set in 1920s New York City, where six larger-than-life heroes confront a plot to summon a sleeping Elder God. The scenario combines occult horror with spectacular action, gallantry, sharp one-liners, and grandstanding. Designed for Spirit of the Century, the adventure follows one critical intersection of the characters’ lives and takes about three hours to play, from distributing character sheets to the final climax. It is written for six characters but can be played with four suitable characters. Character sheets and other required materials are included; the rulebook and dice are not.
