Plot cards also have a Letter Code (A, B, C etc.)

They must be investigated in strict order. In

other words, you cannot investigate Plot B before

you have investigated Plot A. Note, however, that

since players decide the order of investigations

happening at the same hour, it is possible to

investigate multiple Plots during the same time

slot.

Plot Cards are investigated differently than

Dread cards. Rather than resulting in either

failure or success, Plot cards have tiered

outcomes (usually three) depending on how

prepared you are when you investigate them. To

investigate a Plot card, follow these steps:

1 First, all Characters present shuffle their

deck of six Personality cards and draw one at

random. Resolve the effect of any Talent or

Trauma cards flipped.

2 Use the Gambler’s Dice Item adding 1

Guile and bringing her AP Total to 4.

Using Items

An Item can be activated in one of two ways:

Use or Deplete. To Use an Item, tilt the card

90 degrees to the right. You then gain the Use

Effect. Alternatively, when you tilt it, you may

Deplete the Item by placing it on the Item

Discard Pile. You then gain the more powerful

Deplete Effect. If you intend to use this method

at a particular location, mark it with the Yellow

Investigation token – corresponding to the card

backs of the Items deck.

Note that Depleting an Item requires you to tilt

it, you cannot Deplete an Item that is already

tilted.

You can not Use or Deplete Items during

Planning Phase.

Spending a Virtue Token

You may discard any Virtue token you have on

your Character Sheet. For each token discarded

in this way gain the effect described on your

Character Sheet. If you intend to use this

method at a particular location, mark it with the

White Investigation token – This corresponds to

the Color of the Virtue token.

Jacqueline Degas decides to investigate the Dread card ‘A Tough Bargain’

alone. The card has a Difﬁculty of 4. Comparing the Ability icons on her

Character Sheet with the icons on the Dread card, Jacqueline counts 3 Action

points (1 for , 1 for and 1 for ). She is 1 Action Point short of

success, in order to gain the additional Action Point, Jacqueline could do any

one of the following:

3 Use her Virtue token triggering her

“Add 1 Wild icon” ability and bringing

her AP Total to 4.

1 Draw 1 or more additional cards

from the Investigation deck in hopes of

matching more icons to bring her AP

total to 4+.

Investigating Plot Cards

Every story has its key moments. In London

Dread, those moments are represented by Plot

cards.

Plot Cards tie each Story together and drive the

narrative forward. They are crucial to investigate.

If you fail to investigate all of the Plot Cards

of any Chapter, the trail runs cold and you

lose the game. Luckily, Plot Cards are also

your primary way of gaining resources to help

you on your quest.

The Time Code on a Plot card tells you when

it can be investigated. A card with can be

investigated from 6 a.m. onwards. A card with

can be investigated from 2 p.m. and onwards.

A card with from 10 p.m. onwards. If you

fail to investigate a Plot card during a Time

Segment where it could have been investigated,

the card will raise Dread according to its Dread

Value. Note that your Action Clock is broken

down into clearly-delineated Morning, Day, and

Night sections for easy planning.

Readying an Item

Readying an Item means un-tilting it, thereby

allowing it to be either Used or Depleted. All

Items are readied at the beginning of each

Chapter, the Beginning of the Endgame and

immediately before the Final Showdown.

2 Add the icons from the Personality card

flipped to your Character sheet.

3 Resolve the investigation one Character

at a time in any order you choose. Characters

may use Items, spend Virtues or draw from the

Investigation deck exactly as with Dread card

investigations, in order to add to their Action

Point Total. For each Action Point a character

brings, they will roll 1 Action die.

4 Once all Characters have rolled, add the total

number of together, consult the short table

on the Plot card and resolve the effect.

5 Finally, flip the Plot card. Read the general

story as well as the short section that corresponds

to the tier you reached.

You have revealed the ﬁrst Plot

card of the game, ‘Reynaud’s

Residence’. The card’s Time Code

is and it has a Dread Value

of 4. If you fail to investigate

the card during any of the four

Morning Actions, the card will

raise Dread by four at the end

of Morning. If by the end of the

four DAY Actions you still haven’t

investigated the card, it will raise

Dread by another four.

Letter Code

Time Code

When you ﬂip your Trauma card, it means that your personal Trauma has

resurfaced. The gameplay effect is the same for all Characters. You Provide

Nothing means that you ignore the three Ability icons on your Character

Sheet for this investigation. You may still gain additional icons through Items,

Virtues or by ﬂipping from the Investigation deck.

Flipping trauma also demands that you roll the Trauma die. The Trauma

die will result in the acquisition of a Condition or an increase in Dread –

Conditions are described in detail later in these rules.
