Horror in the Windy City RPG Setting for Whispers in the Dark

Created by Matt Corley

Horror in the Windy City brings the excitement, intrigue, and beautiful chaos of the time period to your table using the 5e rules you already know as adapted by the acclaimed Whispers in the Dark RPG. The beautifully illustrated 180+ page book is a fully realized campaign sourcebook covering Chicago in the latter half of the 19th century. There are new rules, backgrounds, a new alignment system, NPCs, scenarios, and more. In short, it’s everything you’ll need to take your party of investigators to Chicago. It will be up to them to find their way out. Extensive Worldbuilding. Horror in the Windy City is written to provide the GM with everything needed to play multiple campaigns in its borders. The major events, and the forces behind them, are explored with scenario hooks and evocative details for the GM present to their players. Chicago’s historic neighborhoods and locations: Englewood, Lake Forest, St Charles, The Cabbage Path, the Stockyards, Wrigley Field, Lake Michigan, and others are presented with scenario hooks, and NPCs of note. The Dreamlands' incursion into Chicago has had profound effects on the city. Particularly in areas of heightened emotions, tension, and violence. Find out what’s happened, and continues to happen, behind the veil of sleep. No story of Chicago is complete without an in-depth look at the public clubs, secret cabals, gangs, and gangsters running the city. From the public faces, to the puppeteers pulling the strings, dozens of new NPCs and organizations are detailed.

She Who Rules the Sea - a Whispers in the Dark Broadsheet

The Delphine Society

An invitation-only club for Chicago’s elite, the Delphine Society is nigh unrecognizable from the association started by Charles Avingdon Villieport in 1818. Ostensibly dedicated to preserving the business interests of Chicago’s wealthiest mercantile families, the lure of spiritualism has changed the society irreparably. Now led by Eliza Field, cousin of Marshall Field, the society focuses as much on the eldritch as on fiscal policy. The society is open to any, regardless of race, gender, religion, or marital status. The criteria are primarily business ownership and a vested interest in the accumulation and preservation of capital, though exceptions are made for those with exceptional talent or potential. cousin of Marshall Field, the society focuses as much on the eldritch as on fiscal policy.
