Killing Heroes
| A player-created Guide is available for this content: Exceptional Stories (Guide) |
"I feel I should be upfront with you," says the Deputy. "I'm expecting you to fail. Writers are less dangerous than crocodiles, but a lot more annoying. This is a lost cause."
Heroes, one of London's most rip-roaring and cheaply printed penny dreadfuls, is going out of business. The Overburdened Deputy has one last issue to put together, but her writers have – horror of horrors! – missed their deadlines. Famed Detective Crufton Bleak has not yet solved his final case; the Bigsby family are suspended in unresolved peril; the intrepid Samson Harper's last escapade ended mid-adventure. It is up to you to chase down their errant authors, and bring home each story's final chapter. Narrative closure hangs in the balance!
