Secrets of New York
The City that Never Sleeps
During the day ships, barges, tugs, and pleasure boats ply
New Yorks bay and rivers, dashing beneath bridges and disgorging thousands of people
upon the city's shores. Each brings hope and dreams of a new life. At night the city
blazes with myriad lights, diamonds dazzling in buildings that scrape the sky. Music,
food, dance, dark rituals, and clandestine cults flourish beneath the mantle of New York
City.
Since that first landing of Henry Hudson's ship Half
Moon to the Declaration of Independence, dark things have suckled on New Yorks
underbelly; the citys boroughs have always hidden secrets countless, sinister, and
horrifying. From the savage massacre at Throg's Neck to the things beneath the earth on
Barren Island, New York City has always been protective of its mysteries now all
come to light in one book.
SECRETS OF NEW YORK is a compendium of one of the
oldest and most popular cities in the new world, and is a supplement for the Call of
Cthulhu roleplaying game. This volume explores the strange events above and below the
streets and avenues that crisscross the world's financial capital during the 1920s.
With a plethora of characters to bring the city to life, and a detailed history to build
scenarios upon, Secrets of New York is an indispensable tool for keepers and
players setting adventures in the Big Apple. Included are maps and historical documents
and photographs of 1920s New York City, as well as several scenarios that explore
the most popular and less savory locales of this grand metropolis
