From Pelgrane Press:At the end of the 19th century, an American art student went to Paris, read a play, and lost his grip on reality.The play was called The King in Yellow.Having read it, head reeling from absinthe, bedeviled by unseen adversaries, he realized that the alien world it described, Carcosa, had sunk its traces throughout the City of Lights.As he explored Paris in search of its decadent influence, he created a scrapbook. A guide for himself, and for those who would come after him.Yoked together from existing travelogues, newspapers, and the disquieting ephemera of the occult tradition, it laid out a skewed portrait of a haunted city:Art student life, from hazing rituals to fabulous bacchanals at the Moulin RougeHangouts and nightspots, from everyday beaneries to ghoulish cabaretsNeighborhoods and attractions, with useful mapsSources of knowledge, from museums to institutes of technologyOperations of the justice system, from the city’s police to its prisonsRites of death, from funeral fees to the notorious, bone-stacked catacombsDetails of everyday life, including currency, communications, and essential phrasesA timeline of recent historical eventsIn the margins appear the increasingly fervid scrawls of the anonymous compiler. Through them determined investigators of the Yellow Sign mystery will learn:Who to seek aid fromWhere madness lurksAnd to never waver in their distrust of clownsAbsinthe in Carcosa is an indispensable city guide for The Yellow King Roleplaying Game and a stunning, full-color visual artifact in its own right.Give it to your players and let them find the mysteries of Paris.Or let them buy their own deuced copies and keep their snack-festooned fingers off of your pristine edition.Brought to you by document blandisher extraordinaire Dean Engelhardt and feverish scribbler supreme Robin D. Laws.
