A Note on the Text
These papers were assembled from a campaign played using a pre-publication draft of Tournament of Shadows. The published edition, available from Chaosium on DriveThruRPG, differs in a small number of particulars. Keepers consulting these journals against their own copies should be aware of the following:
In the published text, the Limehouse Piper appears as a prelude to the campaign. In the playtest run recorded here, the Piper's predations were concurrent with the Captain Leighton inquiries — a more demanding opening for investigators, with two threads of investigation running in parallel.
The gate to Garway is, in the published edition, located at the Punjab Spice Company warehouse. In the recovered papers it is found within the Ghost Station.
The shipping request concerning Green Jim originates, in the published edition, from Bombay. In our papers it came from Damascus — a not insignificant alteration, as it changes the geography of the threat considerably.
Professor George Wyndham, of the published text, was known throughout the playtest as Professor Lawrence. The Editor has, for the convenience of cross-referencing Keepers, used the published name throughout. The man, his pronouncements, and his fate are otherwise unchanged.
The papers are otherwise faithful to the campaign as it was played, and represent one group's particular passage through the events.
— The Editor
