Many years in the making – and just in time for Festival – issue 4 of the Arkham Gazette is now available on DriveThruRPG.
Welcome to Kingsport! Our long-promised fourth full issue, which we have dubbed “Kingsport: Dreams” has arrived at last. Within these pages we explore some of the mysteries of this fog-draped sleepy village of legend. From the wave-lapped rocks of Pilot Island, to the barnacle-crusted pilings of the dockside, through the crooked lanes and alleys, and spiraling up to the summit of Kingsport Head, Kingsport beckons you.
This issue includes the following thirteen articles:
- Locations in Greater Kingsport:New places to explore in Kingsport, drawn from earlier scenarios and the minds of our writers.
- Hooper’s Pond and the Old Brick Powderhouse: Two strange spots west of Kingsport, where odd things have been seen.
