The new version of this adventure by Sílvia Clemente has a new layout, new art (public domain), corrected typos, and stats for both Wretched Époque and Belle Époque. In The Bastard King an “epidemic” of suicide has taken over Paris, the authorities are trying to ignore it, but a small disturbing detail can’t be overlooked forever: the corpses of the afflicted were all marked by the same strange sign. As usual, if you have purchased the original you can find the update on your downloads section.
