There is no escaping the King in Yellow. And a new RPG Bundle of Holding pits you against the Yellow King in a GUMSHOE RPG.

Inspired by the story that inspired the Lovecraft mythos, The Yellow King RPG invites you into eldritch horror using the GUMSHOE system. Designed by Robin D. Laws, and Kickstarted back in 2017, The Yellow King RPG from Pelgrane Press casts you as investigators who are seeking out the influence of the legendary book/play and its mind-altering effects.

If you’ve never read The King in Yellow, by Robert W. Chambers, it’s about a work of art so pure and powerful that it can warp reality itself. But what is truth? Down what path will you find yourself in the grasp of the living god? You can find out for yourself because Bundle of Holding has resurrected their 2021 Yellow King RPG Bundle. Just in time for the spookiest month of them all!

The Yellow King RPG Bundle of Holding

The brain-bending YKRPG uses the fast-playing “Quickshock” GUMSHOE system. Investigate the malign influence of Carcosa in mysteries of reality-changing horror across four different timelines inspired by the famous horror stories of Robert W. Chambers collected in The King in Yellow: 19th-Century Paris, a Continental War across Europe, civil war in an alternate America, and even a world that looks like our own – except…

This bargain-priced June 2021 revival once again brings you DRM-free .PDF ebooks and MP3 music tracks for The Yellow King RPG and a congeries of Carcosan creations. For just US$17.95 you get this revived offer’s King Collection (retail value $60) with the complete four-volume The Yellow King RPG (retail price $55), along with the six atmospheric music tracks in James Semple’s The Yellow King Suite.

And if you pay more than the threshold price of $28.77, you’ll level up and also get this revival’s entire Scholar Collection with four more titles worth an additional $56, including a big compendium of stunning YKRPG handouts, Absinthe in Carcosa; Kenneth Hite’s erudite edition of the original Chambers book, The King in Yellow: Annotated Edition from Arc Dream Publishing; and two volumes of Carcosan fiction by Robin D. Laws: the alternate-history novel The Missing and the Lost and the story collection New Tales of the Yellow Sign.

And on top of this, some 10% of every sale directly benefits charity. In this case, it goes to Cancer Research UK, whose mission statement is all in the name.
