Adventures by Gaslight (a supplement for the Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective Roleplaying Game) is still in the original factory shrinkwrap. With time the wrap has shrunk slightly causing a crease in the upper left corner that extends midway down the left side and is accompanied with bowing to the cover along that length as well. Some small particles are within the wrap and are in the upper right corner and at the lower edge, but are probably too slight to show up in the pictures. Otherwise all is new and untouched. An excellent opportunity to also pick up the other supplements (Mansion Murders and the Queens Park Affair) from the Sherlock Holmes section of our store as all were in stock when this was listed!
The excellent Extras include the tips for solving cases, written and video game reviews of Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective, suggestions on how to convert the game into a Gurps-like RPG experience, and some other hopefully useful odds and ends. Plus a game aid, to help keep track of map sites visited or not visited, 20 double-sided numbered counters\markers will be shipped with the game! Otherwise, some to all of Extras will be emailed once the game ships!
Included are:
Case Book -- a 24-page book containing the rules, daily briefings for each of the five days of the case, questions, solutions, and answers.
Clue Book -- 143 numbered clues and the clue point listing.
Newspaper Archive and Post Card -- a collection of loose newspapers from both The Times and Le Figaro which provide clues and information pertaining to the cases as well as general Victoriana.
11" x 17" Map of Paris, circa 1889.
From the back of the box:
The game is afoot once again in Holme's London and Paris as this adventure takes you, as a Baker Street Irregular, across the English Channel. Join Wiggins as you interview clients, interrogate suspects, search the newspapers for clues, and prowl the streets of London and Paris as you try to piece together the facts and reach a solution.
As the events unfold, day by day, can you clear Anny Forster of the charges against her? Where are Amelie Thacker’s porcelain birds? What is Mycroft’s role in this affair? These are only a few of the mysteries that will challenge your deductive reasoning as you spend a few days in May of 1889 trying to solve the Adventures by Gaslight.
Like all games in the Consulting Detective series, Adventures by Gaslight is not a board game. No dice, no luck, but a challenge to your mental ability. The game has beeen thoroughly researched for Holmesian and Victorian accuracy to capture a feeling of that bygone era.
