Walking the Streets of Arkham

11 July, 2025 : At least their pimp, Michael Bailey , operated on the northside of the Miskatonic River, in the nicer parts of Arkham. Which meant their residency in the Jenkin Hotel wasn’t some rundown, flea-ridden rat hole! Not that that made Michael a nice guy; like any pimp, he ruled with a fist. Take for example, 3 weeks ago, when he beat the living crap out of Talanda Hughes and dangled her one-year-old girl (Patti) over the 2 nd floor railing as added threat to keep her in line. Except, that only encouraged Talanda to run away and seek shelter from his abuse and this prostitution lifestyle. Diana (Dave): 20yo Bostonian studying medicine before she became pregnant and turned to prostitution in a desperate bid to support her 1yo child (Billy). Lucy (Brian): 28yo who tried to find success as a dancer. Her looks (APP85) were better than her dancing (25), which meant she was a better pole-dancer in the clubs where Michael found her and brought he...

Onward to Sica Hollow 2am, Sunday, 21 Oct, 1923 - For those who handled the rune-etched coprolite stones, it was a fitful sleep of nightmares: Dr. Harrison Bones (Tony), 46yo Paleontology Prof: You didn’t have much to drink Saturday, but you remember the spoiled food at the diner… did that cause you to throw up?

It speaks, “I am your ancestor, Darwin.” Your room suddenly becomes a dark tunnel in which you chase Darwin. You round a corner and run into… “Dr. Baker, what are you doing here?!” But you cannot understand his reply as pounding drowns him out. You wake up to realize someone is at your door .

Failed Prospects.v3.P1

Intro : During the summer break of 1923, Dr. William Baker (University of Cincinnati) trolled the museum basement’s uncatalogued fossil collection to relieve his boredom. One particular fossil (labeled as found in northeastern South Dakota) piqued his interest and renewed his ‘itch’ for field work. Thus, it was Oct 1 st when his team of professors and students waved goodbye as they boarded the train bound for West Haven, SD. The Original Team: Dr. William Baker , head of the Paleontology department. Older man, brilliant, affable. Still has a bit of that child-like wonder that makes him a pleasure to work with. Dr. John Tucker , a funny man, the youngest of the bunch but still a very competent paleontologist . Dr. Eugene Stewart , very opinionated and serious paleontologist . Sometimes cantankerous. Thinks that Dr. Lynch’s theories are rubbish. They argue climate change versus disease killing the dinosaurs. Dr. George Lynch , somewhat somber and serious Anthropologist . Dee...
