Malice Everlasting is a Classic Era scenario for Call of Cthulhu, set in H.P. Lovecraft's fictional seaside town of Kingsport. The player characters are tasked with investigating a series of inexplicable physical afflictions among the town's residents, and in so doing, they will uncover a malevolent secret, long forgotten within the township's dark history. The adventure is well crafted and provides an excellent framework for both Keeper and Investigators to tell a memorable horror story.

Although it seems almost redundant to mention the inherent dangers to investigators within a Call of Cthulhu game, I nevertheless feel obligated to emphasize that there are several points where Malice Everlasting can turn lethal with regard to characters’ health and sanity. Participants are encouraged to exercise forethought and caution, as many of the terrors that can be encountered are assuredly deadly.

I am using the most recent iteration of the Call of Cthulhu rules, the 7th edition, to adjudicate the game. If anyone who wishes to take part is unfamiliar with the 7th edition rules, I will be happy to help them learn the system’s core concepts as the adventure unfolds.
