From the team that brought you 2013's "Dreams in the Witch House: A Lovecraftian Rock Opera", the EP expands the tale of Keziah Mason (The Witch) and Walter Gilman. Featuring 3 tracks on CD + an additional bonus track download of Lovecraft's "Azathoth" (1922) presented in a fusion of Progressive Rock & Spoken Word, the compilation includes major Music Industry heavyweights such as Scott Page on saxophone (Pink Floyd, Supertramp), Bruce Kulick on acoustic guitar (KISS, Grand Funk Railroad), Douglas Blair on electric guitar (W.A.S.P.) and Jonathan Snipes on analog synths (Room 237).

Track List

Sleepwalker: Waking World (an expanded, fully developed version of "The Sleepwalker", Track 10 from the original Concept Album)
Dreams in the Witch House: Sanitarium (a mainly acoustic cover version of Track 2 from the original Concept Album, featuring actor Courtney Gains on lead vocals)
Azathoth 1922 - Instrumental

CD includes free download card for Azathoth 1922 - Spoken Word and prints of the fantastic MohlocoArt mini posters!

The same, but different

The Violet Midnight EP is yet another accompanying release to the masterful Dreams in the Witch House: A Lovecraftian Rock Opera. Now, the main album is perfection on a platter, so why keep releasing more? With the same songs even?
Well, for one thing, mastermind Mike Dalager keeps adding new talent to the roster, musically as well as vocally. Every new person is here allowed to put their own personal stamp on two of the existing songs, giving them new life. The lyrics may vary, the instrumentation and arrangements likewise, giving us a whole new perspective on the whole deal.
So, do they replace or surpass the originals? No, I don't think so, and you don't necessarily need these in order to fully enjoy the rock opera. The original is as perfect today, as it was upon release. The Violet Midnight EP is its own thing however, and you can enjoy it as a supplement to the full story, or fully on its own as a stand-alone product. The final track is an instrumental version of their Azathoth 1922 track, which has previously had a digital release, with Dalager speaking the poem over the music. Now you can have that pleasure yourself!

Eexcellent replica!

The level of detail and craftsmanship that has gone into the reproduction of this piece is outstanding. I really cannot put into words how happy I am with this scrimshaw.

Top notch quality and craftsmanship.

Can’t wait to run this

The props are amazing. The handouts, the physical props, the book! And on top of that the digital content and pregens are all the kind of stuff I can’t wait for my people to enjoy. I’m still reading through the module and I think it will be fun but it seems challenging to prep for. A whole ton of information but way less format to run within. I think the module book could stand to have more structure and gm consideration included, but all in all it looks fantastic.

This review is about the quality of The Spark Devil, as I have yet to play it.

Wow. BIG box.

HPLHS have outdone themselves on this production (and I say that owning prop set for Masks of Nyarlathotep *and* the Classic Prop Set).

Period maps, yes, and theater-realistic clues, yes, but there's a Weird Science radio that *works* (as far as the players know) and ... a genuine Mythos Tome marked as restricted and sealed against chance perusal by inquisitive eyes!

There are also three replacement seals because players will be players and will obviously break the seal to read Thatte Whyche Shoulde Notte Bee Seene Bye Human Eye. Fools.

There are audio clues needed to make the radio work (via an included bluetooth speaker), witness statements (best played NOT through the radio) and digital versions of all the "flat" clues (impossible to download the tome or radio).

Tip: The QR code with the link for all is at the front of the scenario booklet. The code on page 61 only downloads the audio clues.

My only reservation is that there is no PDF version of the scenario book itself. I like to read up while commuting using a tablet, and like to mark up the digital copy with post-it notes.. Even Chaosium offers a PDF copy with their hardcopy purchases now, so this is a puzzler.

I hope that the clues to be found in the buff envelope will be available for purchase as replacements as I can see the more delicate clues (eg newsprint) getting destroyed by greasy fingers over time.

Blown Away

I just received the incredible Spark Devil adventure kit and am blown away.
