This scenario will feature cosmic horror, but also racism and classism. Listener discretion is advised.

At the height of the Great Depression in California, three men are drawn into the area of Bryson Springs. One, a temporary resident of the Hooverville, trying to lay low, despite his conspicuousness. One, from the city, coming to help one of his own. One, a land owner, troubled by recent events.

Regardless, they are drawn in to the murder of a Chinese man in the Hooverville under mysterious circumstances. These circumstances will bring the three and the rest of the town into danger, and it will take their all, and maybe a bit of help from a familiar gun, to survive the fear and panic and worse things...

Fear and Panic is a game in early access, by Lyme. It's a horror game that utilizes fear as a means to help tell the story and drive characters. It is available at Lyme's itch.io page.

Bryson Springs is a systemless scenario written by Caleb Stokes. It is available as a stand alone purchase as a pdf at DriveThruRPG, or as a part of the Great Depression horror collection No Security, at DriveThruRPG in print, or at Hebanon Games itcho.io in pdf.
