The Fathomless Sleep

Game Master greg white 722

"Helen Deakin has lost her memory. Finding out what happened to the beautiful heiress might cost PI Dex Raymond his life."

A noirish game for 'Cthulhu Confidential'.

The Angels Flight tramway seemed to groan as it descended Hill Street, clicking along the rails, as the torrid air lapped up to it from the streets baking in the August sun below.

Dam, it was hot.

Sullen clouds rimmed the valley, but stubbornly with-held their
promised rain.

Overhead the ceiling fan cycled endlessly, just like Dex's thoughts kept cycling back to...

So what is hard-boiled gum-shoe Dexter 'Dex' Raymond obsessing about? A woman? A vice? Money problems? Or, with no case to keep him occupied, is he simply bored?

The discussion thread doesn't seem to be open, so here are a few questions:

• Am I going to be Dex?
• Are we going to be using Trail of Cthulhu rules?
• Are we using Trail of Cthulhu? If so, give me a bit to roll up a character
• What's the time and place? Are we looking at an Arkham game in the 20s?

Has Helen already come to Dex, or has he yet to meet her?

He wipes sweat from his brow. He could really use a cold beer, but what would his priest, Father Gattis, do if he saw Dex back in a bar again?

Dex hasn't yet taken the case.

So Dex is...

...trying to remember his liturgical calendar. Is today the Feast of Mary Magdalene?

...imagining condensation beading on the glass of a mug of beer, as he sits at the counter of his favorite bar.

So there's is something in his office that you would not expect to find in the office of a LA private investigator. What is it, and what is its significance to Dex?
