    Fear & Panic - Bryson Springs

    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.

    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...
