In the heart of 1920s New England, nestled among the rolling hills of the Miskatonic River Valley, lies Arkham, Massachusetts. Caught in the midst of the tides of change and progress, the city struggles to shrug off the myths of its past and step into a shining future. But too many of those myths have a kernel of truth at their core, and the eldritch horrors that haunt Arkham’s past still lurk just beyond the threshold of our understanding. Nothing can stand against the monsters that stalk the darkness... except you.
Dive into glamour, danger, and mystery with Arkham Horror — the Roleplaying Game! With intuitive, exciting mechanics enabling tough choices and immersive storytelling, all you need is this book and a handful of six-sided dice to start investigating eldritch mysteries with your friends!

If you fail, your sanity will be shattered and your body consumed by things worse than you could ever imagine. But if you succeed, you just might save the world from total destruction!
