Two Scenarios of Gaslight London
Step into London’s Dark Heart
The scenarios in this book highlight the grimy underbelly of Victorian London. The first, Dust to Dust, works well for novice Keepers and players, while Signs Writ in Scarlet provides a deeper and more widespread mystery to challenge experienced players.
Ashes to Ashes
This one-shot scenario is suited to three to six players and can be played in one or two sessions. While set in London, it may be relocated to any large town or city in Victorian Britain. The investigators are assumed to be working-class employees at Lange’s Dust Yard, a disposal center for the city’s trash, although a broader range of investigators is possible.
Signs Writ in Scarlet
This deadly sandbox-style scenario is best suited for experienced Keepers. Set in London’s East End, it may take several sessions of play for up to six investigators, who come from a variety of social class backgrounds.
Cthulhu by Gaslight: Dust and Blood includes ten pre-generated investigators, specially designed to be used in these scenarios. It requires the Cthulhu by Gaslight: Investigators' Guide.

What The Critics Say
-
“This is a great supplement for Cthulhu by Gaslight. The fascination with mummies and Jack the Ripper was a real thing in 19th-century London, and these modules really latch onto those ideas.”

-
"An excellent narrative starting point for the 7th Edition Gaslight era… highly recommended!"

“If you are willing to brave the smog-choked streets of 1890s London, you’ll find that Dust & Blood is a tome of eldritch terror well worth investigating.”
