The 1950s noir stories of rocketships & rayguns you read under cover of dark are coming to life before your eyes. Will you become a victim of Parsons's "Big Hoodoo"?
Lovecraftian noir in 1950s California with a ripped-from-history plot centered on the explosive death of real-world rocket scientist, science fiction fan, and occultist Jack Parsons in a garage laboratory in 1952. The investigators are iconic figures active in the science fiction scene at the time of Parsons's death, and their inquiries lead them from the mean streets of Pasadena to the edge of the Mojave Desert and the mountains of southern California as well as the beaches of Los Angeles. Play sci-fi great Robert Heinlein, his ex-Navy engineer wife Virginia, renowned editor and mystery writer Tony Boucher, or a young Philip K. Dick as they confront the lunatic fringe in La-La Land, and find themselves caught in a charlatan's web of chicanery, mendacity, and deceit - laced with a strong strand of Mythos menace.
Warnings: The event was originally listed with rules of "Trail of Cthulhu (1st)." It has been changed to "Trail of Cthulhu (1st Edition)."
