Shadows Over Newport is SteamCraft’s first setting expansion. The city of Newport is a bustling tourist destination known for its elaborate Bourbon Quarter. It has built its reputation of providing family entertainment by playing up the macabre aspects of the city. However, this is all fun and games meant to amuse the public – or is it?
Below its exterior of a tourist trap lies a seedy underbelly of power struggles between street gangs and various occult groups. Adventurers to the city will have the opportunity to explore the mystery of The Gris and the mysterious mounds found throughout the area. Rumors persist of corporate funded experiments of citizens to harvest organs for the rich as well as experiments to prolong life. Dissidents are locked up in asylums for attempting to speak the truth. Or, that is what the tabloids would have you believe.
