Kingsport Horror: Further Delving Into Madness
Something strange is afoot behind the swirling mists of the seaside town of Kingsport. Just inside the haunted harbor, small cracks in the walls between worlds have begun to form. If left unchecked, these cracks may deepen, eventually crumbling into a swirling rift – an open gateway through which the evils of beyond may spill forth, bringing terror and doom down upon Arkham and quickening the arrival of the Ancient One.

One of my office coworkers and lunchgames regulars Randall felt that the fever chart I created for my review of Monopoly Deal was incomplete, so she sent me a corrected version. For those fresh to the site, Clover Leaf is the nickname of another of our lunchgame regulars, Christine, who seems to win every freaking game we play. She also won last week’s Chrononauts giveaway.
