Wake up with amnesia and strange injuries in the eerie town of Promise, Louisiana... Can you uncover the truth before madness takes hold? Arkham Horror RPG – Starter Set: Welcome to Promise is the official introduction to the Arkham Horror roleplaying game universe, published by Edge Studio in partnership with Fantasy Flight Games.

Designed for 1 Game Master and up to 5 players, this box adopts a streamlined "learn-as-you-play" approach that allows your group to jump straight into the story without reading a massive rulebook beforehand. The game is driven by the Dynamic Pool System (DPS), a d6 dice pool mechanic where players build pools to meet success thresholds on actions.

Players choose from pre-generated investigators with rich backgrounds, attributes, and abilities. As the narrative unfolds through successive scenes, players explore detailed poster maps, examine tactile physical props (letters, clues, documents), and accumulate injuries or mental traumas that carry heavy story consequences.
