I was also reading "Something Wicked This Way Comes", and was thinking that Dark's Carnival might be more than just an event. Give me some ideas, please!
Mr. Dark in Arkham?
isnt Darks Carnival a location in Dunwich?
No, it's an event from the main game.
Darke's Carnival (with an e at the end) is a stable location in Dunwich and an Environment Mythos card in the bass game.
which is a reference to Bradbury!
A recent idea I had was that some of the carnies might be taken as allies or investigators.
Okay... I can tell that idea's been vetoed...
It might just be that not many people have read the Bradbury story. It's been about 20 years since I've read it, so my memory is a little fuzzy.
