Hastur's Gaze Gains Brief Focus Upon the Earth

IT IS OCTOBER 1928. London is the capital of an empire covering a quarter of the globe and governing one quarter of the human race. The people busy themselves with concerns of politics and government, finance and production, work and recreation. How fragile things are. What ignorance there is.

There are those who engage in different pursuits — who would see an inhuman power come to Earth such that it would make mundane activity seem like a last twitch before dying.

Over this winter its taint emerges: the sensitive and the weak feel it first. Few know the source, but some welcome it unconsciously — finding in it an enexamined thrill. Artists’ work is strangely influenced, and they mine this vein of creativity. Many exhibitions this season feature similar images: a social gathering gripped by repressed panic; a lake or marsh cloaked in mist; a presence just off-canvas. New fiction and theatrical releases offer scenes of upheaval and confusion that never reach a climax. Seances and mediumistic exhibitions bring untoward results and end in disruption. Others feel new lines of communication opening; some claim God is talking to them.

All feel the lure of the stars.

TATTERS OF THE KING is a Call of Cthulhu campaign suitable for four to six investigators: ideally one should be a psychoanalyst or alienist and published in this field, and one or more of the others should be involved in the creative arts. It is convenient if the investigators live in or near London, but one or all can be foreign-based if they are prepared to travel to Britain to address events. Detailed advice on options for involving the player characters is provided.

Which of the two files is the updated version?

File 1: "(Tatters of the King)". The file name of what you actually download is "cha23104book.pdf".

File 2: "(CHA23104_-_Tatters_of_the_King.pdf)" which matches the file name downloaded "CHA23104_-_Tatters_of_the_King"

Also what was updated? Typos? Errata? Art?

We (as for September 2022) are still in progress but there is lots of fun here. A bit of a railroady fun, but still fun. My players like it!

This is a very accomplished creation and not what I expected - not sure why.
Its very detailed and very long. Its a campaign that I would struggle to sell to my players due its time consuming journeys for not a lot in return. What do I mean by that? ITs a campaign of actual immersive role playing and history rather than dice-rolling, gun play or even investigation which my younger players want.
For an older group it would work.
I've actually really enjoyed it as a story and hope to use individual chapters in my campaigns. For example the chapter on the ship would go well from Cairo to Mombasa in MON.

Would there be any chance to get an index update? Any PDF missing this these days is substandard.

I meant proper PDF index sometimes called bookmarks? I meant digital table of content that let you quickly go through the book without digitally flipping page by page.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
