“During the First World War, there were many spooky tales from the Western Front—from ghostly soldiers marching into battle to terrible monsters feasting on the living. Dismissed by the officers as fanciful delusions, these eerie accounts nevertheless found a captive audience back home.
The eccentric philanthropist Sir Arthur Eldritch became obsessed with the stories, researching them in earnest once the war had ended. In 1923, he founded the Eldritch Institute, a top-secret organization dedicated to investigating paranormal activities and protecting humanity from supernatural threats.
You are operatives working for the Eldritch Institute, recruited for a specific role based on your area of expertise, and granted access to the organization’s extensive resources.”
Inspired by Torchwood, Kingsman, October Faction, and the Cthulhu Mythos, Eldritch Detectives is a standalone scenario for the Tricube Tales system and is usable as a micro-setting, but it is also a fully self-contained one-page RPG in its own right. You can print it on a single sheet of paper: The first page includes everything you need to play, while an optional second page expands the adventure generator with examples and twists. The PDF uses layers for ease of printing.
