Eldritch Horror - Masks of Nyarlathotep

From the Publisher:

And were those others—those shocking Elder Things of the mad winds and daemon pipings—in truth a lingering, lurking menace, waiting and slowly weakening in black abysses while varied shapes of life drag out their multimillennial courses on the planet’s age-racked surface? I do not know. If that abyss and what it held were real, then there is no hope.”
   –H.P. Lovecraft, The Shadow Out of Time

Stumbling into your hotel room, you want nothing more than to take a hot shower and drift off to the sweet oblivion of sleep in crisp, clean sheets. The shower would go a long way to getting some of the reeking stink out of your nose, but you know it won’t be quite so easy to divest yourself of the stain of this evening’s work. You feel marked and marred. You had thought this would feel better—you and the others had won, right? It was finally done. A few brave souls had sacrificed themselves to destroy a threat that had nearly swallowed the world, and it had been worth it. And now, it was supposedly over. As you undo the first button on your coat, you jump at a sharp knock at the door, and some part of you already knows what’s going to happen. You’ll open the door, you’ll be told that the strange rituals haven’t stopped, and your companions insist that you leave immediately on the next ship. You may have stopped one of those things from breaking through, but there would be more. Your days of fighting the darkness are far from over. You sigh and reach for the door. That shower will have to wait.

There are many threats that slumber beneath the earth and lurk in the vast, cold darkness between stars. In Masks of Nyarlathotep, the newest expansion for Eldritch Horror, the heavens have aligned, and our tiny world is at the mercy of the cosmos. The investigators will find themselves caught up in a task much larger than any they have previously faced. Sometimes known as the Messenger of the Outer Gods, Nyarlathotep seeks to call others of his kind to our world. Unfortunately for us, it would seem he has already had some success in drawing their attention...

Masks of Nyarlathotep introduces a brand new way to experience games of Eldritch Horror with its campaign mode. Campaign mode sets up a world that's threatened by a continuous onslaught of Ancient Ones, tasking the investigators to undertake six sequential games. Losing a single game to any one of these horrifying forces spells certain doom for mankind, and will cost you the entirety of the campaign. Can the investigators stop this barrage of Ancient Ones from destroying our vulnerable world during this unique cosmic event?
