It’s been a long time coming.

Regency Cthulhu was one of the very first games we ever played together as a group, and it didn’t take long for us to fall completely in love with the wonderfully ridiculous combination of Regency manners, scandalous behaviour and cosmic horror.

Years later, we’re finally returning to it.

Nancy has spent the last few months confined to Bedlam following a terrifying encounter with something she still struggles to understand. But she has returned a changed woman. No longer content with her former life, Nancy is determined to become a respectable lady and find herself a wealthy and influential husband.

Enter Reverend Henry Mortimer and his sister Eleanor.

Their offer seems almost too good to refuse: Nancy can become the first student at Henry’s new finishing school, where they intend to transform her into a proper lady.

But there’s a catch.

A letter from the late Lord Farquhar reveals that Nancy has inherited a house at 50 Barclay Square. A generous gift, perhaps — if Blake Thompson hadn’t spent eight generations serving the Farquhar family only to discover that he’d been left absolutely bloody nothing.

And the house itself has a reputation.

As Nancy, Melissa and Blake settle into their new surroundings, strange details begin to emerge. Nancy secretly investigates the Mortimers. Blake overhears suspicious conversations. And whispers of natural philosophy, herbalism, secrets and mysterious deaths begin to make their presence felt.

Then they travel to Hampshire to visit the Mortimers’ vicarage, where Nancy begins hearing voices again.

Perhaps Bedlam didn’t cure her after all.

As the trio start pulling at the threads surrounding the Mortimers, Nancy reveals the truth about the terrifying vision that changed her life — a vision of something monstrous that she has never been able to explain.

And now she intends to find answers.

If becoming a respectable lady means marrying her way into the circles of power and influence, then so be it.

After all…

What could possibly go wrong?
