This video gives an overview of the free 19th century adventure, An Opera Unceasing, available for both Call of Cthulhu and GURPS. During the premiere of La Demoiselle aux Lanternes, the Paris Opera’s audience and performers vanished without explanation, plunging the city into fear and rumor. Drawn into the mystery, you must navigate the salons, streets, and shadows of 1879 Paris, where wealth, obsession, and forbidden knowledge intertwine… before the echoes of the opera draw you into something far worse than silence. Download the adventure for FREE https://1shotadventures.com/an-opera-unceasing/ The adventure includes pregenerated characters, cool handouts, maps, and other VTT assets so you can get going right away!
