The Affair of the Brown Dog: A Candela Obscura Assignment

“Newfaire has been wracked by a public conflict between the medical establishment and abolitionists over a scandalous public vivisection. While women in white have picketed the medical school, student doctors have rioted in the streets over the slander of their profession. Thus, the murder of a leading vivisectionist threatens to spark uncivil war.”

Animal cruelty, occult themes.

An investigatory Assignment for new and established players, The Affair of the Brown Dog begins with a murder mystery that leads the Investigators into a tale of corruption, cruelty, magick, and the dark underside of Newfaire society.  Based on an actual historical event, this 45-page Assignment includes all the resources a gamemaster needs to play: detailed and complex non-player characters, a ready-to-go circle and five balanced pre-generated characters, a set of flexible and dynamic scenes (with an included relational scene map for ease of play), player stands, ten high-quality handouts, gamemaster suggestions, and advice to run the Assignment as a one-shot, over extended play, or integration into a campaign.
