From publisher blurb: You Are Cordially Invited... Some say the world is ending. At the muddy end of a fruitless harvest, famine and plague stalk the land. The armies of darkness gather on the horizon. And tonight is the night of a lunar eclipse, the time when the astrologers predict a world-devouring evil will be born. For one group of decadent aristocrats, there is clearly only one possible course of action: lock themselves inside a castle, throw a masquerade, get loaded, and dabble in black magic. For a group of desperate adventurers, the masquerade is a chance to set things right. But on a night like this, they may get more than they bargained for… The World's End Masque & Ball is a gothic fantasy scenario in the style of Poe and Lovecraft. It is designed to be played in one session and requires the ELEMENTAL Complete Guide. It includes everything you need to create a night of horror and intrigue and contains five fully developed player characters to choose from.
