Description
The forbidden play, The King in Yellow, has driven folk to madness and destruction. Naturally, some of you want in on it.
Inspired by the works of Ambrose Bierce, Robert E. Chambers, and H.P. Lovecraft, this warlock patron also comes complete with two new Eldritch Invocations and a new artifact, the eponymous play itself.
- from the publisher's blurb

Quotes (from this video)
- Let's get right to it and take a good long look at my booty.
- It's a huge overwhelming spectacle of tabletop gaming.
- I love miniature agnostic games.
- I really like this concept of being able to, you know, have these different little zenes that you can kind of, you know, add and subtract from and things like that.
- As an outsider I find to be a little I don't want to say opaque, but I can definitely say challenging to some degree.
- It's a little kingdom death looking little bit.
- It's always interesting like on Saturday you can find like the cheapest prices, but the good stuff's already been picked over at that point.
- And if you ever have to sell t-shirts at Gen Con, bring a lot more extraarges and double extraarges than smalls. I'm just saying, it just seems like a good idea.
- I really like the concept of Conflict 47. I really do. But um man, I just just bounced right off of those initial Firefly builds and I want to give it another try and see if it's just me or if it's maybe it's them.
- So, um yeah, when I saw that they still had some there at the booth, I was like, 'Yeah, I'm going to definitely have to uh pick that up.'
