Head over to the JWP Webstore to pick up Act 3 of Curse of the Yellow Sign!

Flames Rising had this to say about Act 1 and Act 2:

"(A) real break from the standard investigation into weird goings on behind closed doors that characterise most Call of Cthulhu scenarios…"

"It’s bleak, it’s nihilistic, it may well be my favourite ever King in Yellow scenario."

Also, check out www.johnwickpresents.com/yellow. It has all the extra materials you need to run the scenarios including hand-outs, soundtracks and other goodies.

(Archie’s dialogue and the alternate King in Yellow scripts will be up soon.)

It’s Halloween and you know your players want to play Cthulhu.
Give them something dark and dangerous this year.
Give them the Curse of the Yellow Sign!

Act 2: Calling the King is live at Indie Press Revolution!

At the turn of the century
In an abandoned hotel
In the dead darkness of winter
Six actors sit to read a cursed play

Calling the King is the second in a series of Call of Cthulhu scenarios all linked by the Yellow Sign. The Curse of the Yellow Sign scenarios contain no blasphemous books, no monsters, no cultists and no Library Use rolls. Only ordinary humans confronted with the true nature of the universe. They are designed to be played in a single evening with limited preparation and maximum impact, filled with the kind of ruthless game master techniques you’d expect from John Wick.

Calling the King contains:

Full map of the hotel
6 pre-generated and illustrated characters
Excerpts from Act 1 of The King in Yellow
Theories on the ever-mercurial, seemingly shapeshifting play
Tons of advice and playtest notes

Cthulhu Prints from CotYS Artist, Aaron Acevedo

Aaron’s been receiving requests for prints from Curse Of The Yellow Sign, so King In Tatters (12×18 inches) is now available. Signed and personalized with a Cthulhu doodle. Through the weekend, you can get ‘em for $10, free shipping anywhere. Same goes for any of his old Cthulhu prints. If you have any questions, ping him at aaronace[at]gmail[dot]com. 

Note: Because I believe in artistic ownership, all the art Aaron did (and will do) for Curse of the Yellow Sign belongs to him and him alone. (I’m just renting it.) So, all of the cash goes to him. As it should be.
