In this beginner-friendly starter set, players take on the roles of intrepid investigators in the 1920s who end up in the middle of a dizzying mystery. The group wakes up, groggy and confused, somewhere unfamiliar with injuries they can’t explain. They will soon discover that they are not alone…

This learn-as-you-play adventure teaches the Dynamic Pool System (DPS) that powers the game and introduces the roaring twenties Lovecraftian horror setting. It comes with the complete Welcome to Promise adventure and a supplemental Rules Appendix, which takes extra care to walk game masters (GMs) and players through their first experience with the DPS rules and offers GMs an easy tool to use as a reference in their future games.
