Pastiche world of lost cities, macabre cultists, eccentric academics and prehistoric gods, borrowing as freely from Lovecraft as it does from Agatha Christie and Indiana Jones. PCs are recruited as investigators in one of five hub cities - London, New Orleans, Istanbul, Calcutta, Shanghai - and presented with their choice of eight plot hooks, designed to take them all over the world and able to be approached in any manner they see fit.
Designed to be modular. Aztecs. Fantomas. Red Shambhala. British folk horror. Dinosaurs. Pirates. The Mummy. Vedic superweapons. Lemuria. Bulldog Drummond. Evil carnivals. Greenland. The Ku Klux Klan. Aleister Crowley. El Dorado. The Chinese Civil War. Hopefully there's something in here you can use.

This looks like a really great game! Would it be possible to have a portrait orientation “singles” layout instead of the landscape layout with two book pages on each side of a sheet? The portrait “singles” layout will make it easier to print and read like a regular book.
