August 25th, 1928: Providence, Rhode Island

The Milton Hotel cordially invites you to view the fantastical traveling exhibition “The Kingdom of Fire—Egypt’s 18th Dynasty.” All the way from the British Museum, London, England, come see these wonders of ancient Egypt, rare and priceless items from a time long ago. Learn about their history from Dr. Caitlin Bronson, the exhibition’s curator, who will be on hand to answer all of your questions. Marvel at the treasures of Tutankhamun and Hatshepsut, along with the star of the exhibition, the mysterious canopic jar of Ibnhotep the Mad! Tickets are limited and going fast—and you don’t want to miss out on what promises to be the most talked about exhibition of the year!
With an invitation like that, how could your investigators possibly refuse? Be they historians and scholars, or even those who ply the blackmarket trade in illicit antiquities, this is a rare opportunity to learn the secrets of the distant past outside of a museum.
And what possible danger could there be in going to see the mortal remains of someone called “Ibnhotep the Mad”?
The Shadow Over Providence was written by Jon Hook of the Miskatonic University Podcast/Modern Mythos Podcast, and developed and published by Chaosium, to celebrate NecronomiCon 2019 and now it has been enhanced for Roll20!
