A solid collection of five adventures and several side encounters ideally suited to bring players into a new campaign of The Strange.
As agents of The Estate, the characters have been briefed with the task of discovering the source of a new drug - and discovering the truth behind it's effect on users who appear to be displaying signs of Quickening.
The mini campaign provides background on some key personnel at The Estate - assigned as Supervising Officers to the junior player-driven agents, and a scattering of new creatures and cyphers. The back of the book includes 6 pages of illustrations provided as 'Show To' images for players, letting them see their environment at key stages in the game.
The campaign takes the characters from initial investigation on Earth to Ruk and Ardeyn - recursions described in the core book, as well as other minor planes of existence accessible by transition through The Strange. I personally found the Ardeyn adventure a little too dungeon for my tastes - but, otherwise, a solid set of adventures ideal for getting your group into the game.
