The King in Yellow - Magic of the Black Stars

Expansion module in Italian for the role-playing game The King in Yellow .

Discover The Magic of the Black Stars , the expansion for The King in Yellow – The Roleplaying Game that introduces a new level of darkness and power to your investigative campaigns. From the Belle Époque steeped in arcane rituals, to the Science Jaune of a war-torn continent, to the parageometric horrors of the Castaigne regime's laboratories, this expansion will allow you to master forbidden arts, always on the brink of power and madness.

Each spell manifests as a Trauma card , offering both useful and sinister benefits, but at a cost: will players choose to tighten their powers to the point of mental disintegration, or will they forgo the temptation of the Yellow Sign to safeguard their sanity?

The manual includes:

• 144 Haunting Spells and New Rules for Carcosian Magic

• Historical insights into magic and its influence on the four sequences of The King in Yellow

• Game Master Tips on Introducing Occult Powers into Your Sessions

Additionally, you will find four original scenarios , one for each sequence:

• The Dance of the Cabaret of Bones : Parisian art students grapple with a nightclub with hungry shadows.

• A Coffin in Le Thil : Soldiers face disturbing underground threats in the midst of The Wars .

• Memoirs of a Dream Clown : Revolutionaries forced to confront a corrupted memory and a mysterious murder.

• Love Wears No Masks : Ordinary heroes at the mercy of a seductive app that hides the subtle undertones of a reality show.

Scenarios can be played individually or combined into a complete campaign, for an experience that will test the sanity of the characters... and the players.
