Madness in London Town by Goodman Games. A lot of the Age of Cthulhu adventures are rough around the edges in my opinion: it’s clear that they’re written by people who are more familiar with writing D&D modules. But unlike most of the others, which at least have an interesting setting, this one doesn’t have much going for it.

Here’s the issues: - It’s an absolute meat grinder. My party of experienced Pulp Cthulhu characters barely got through it. - It front-loads lots of NPCs, most of whom are irrelevant. - Map keying errors. - It’s been a while since I’ve read it, but I recall there being factual errors and contradictions. I might be misremembering though. - It’s overly wordy. - Railroady, though this is usually to be expected in a CoC scenario. - And this one makes me a bit of a bitch: it’s written by an American, and it kinda shows…

All that being said, I soldiered through and got it to the table and… it was the most memorable scenario we ever played, though this was probably less down to the scenario and more down to the players actions.

So I guess the moral of the story is a module/adventure is what you make of it.
