Deep underground The Sleeper dreams, waiting to return to the waking world. As he plots and plans Kingsport trembles, for his wrath is great and his desires many…
For as long as anyone can remember Kingsport has lured creative souls, be they artists, writers or dreamers…. yet has anyone ever asked, do all those that arrive ever get to leave?
Nightmares in Canvas is an investigative scenario set in the sleepy seaside town of Kingsport. A mystery unfolding in the spring months of 1928, it focuses on the struggles of a long-forgotten member of the infamous Kingsport Cult and his attempts to return to the waking world from a land of nightmares. Drawn into this nefarious plan by the disappearance of George Camper, a budding artist and friend of the Investigators, the players will learn not only of this cultist’s actions in the past and present, but also his plans for Kingsport’s future.
Together will the party succeed in stopping the ancient and insane sleeper, Nathaniel Orne? Or will they themselves be drawn into the Nightmares in Canvas?
