The Well of All Fear

Author: Kat Clay

Playhouse Thoughts: A classic regency tale that may leave both the investigators’ reputation and sanity in tatters. This scenario is steeped in historical knowledge and makes for a compelling couple of evenings of gaming.

Blurb:When Mr Millwood, cad-about-town and local ne’er-do-well, goes missing in April 1813, his young sister has the most to lose. Miss Millwood’s fear for her brother is only exacerbated by her own terror; if he were found dead, the family estate would be inherited by a distant relative, leaving the unmarried Miss Millwood destitute.

But the young rake has made many enemies in town. From bathhouses to gambling halls, balls to ancient ruins, investigators must track down the missing brother and determine who wishes him gone. In tracking down the young man, investigators must make a costly sacrifice to save the town.

The Well of All Fear is a Regency Cthulhu scenario for Call of Cthulhu 7e, set in the spa town of Buxton, England. The game has been designed for three to five players to play over six to ten hours.
