“Lords of Madness” with a Mystery DM
"I have looked upon all the universe has to hold of horror, and even the skies of spring and flowers of summer must ever afterward be poison to me." - HP Lovecraft.
No one was prepared when they came. The sky turned black as tar when the thing appeared in the sky, that colossal, tentacled, ammonite horror floating unreal in the air above us. The silence was worse than the screaming. Those eldritch things floated down, their monstrous brain-dog creatures leaping through the streets, the whisper of voices never ceasing, always choking around my brain…who can stop such unknowable creatures?
What do you do when everything you have known and loved is stolen from you in an instant? When your happy, thriving town is torn asunder, and left to rot. When creatures from beyond time and space invade your world and take everything? What happens when the mind flayers arrive at your door?
Lords of Madness is a story of loss and resistance, the story of a world destroyed by an alien hivemind bent on domination and empire. It is the story of a band of adventurers who refuse to bend the knee to the Illithid invaders, and who will stop at nothing to see their world restored.
Lords of Madness is a tense, action-horror game, inspired by the likes of Alien, Terminator, and the works of Stephen King and HP Lovecraft. You play one of the members of a resistance group facing a devastating mind flayer invasion, doing everything they can to find a way aboard the gigantic nautiloid spacecraft from which these cosmic horrors have descended.
