Sherlock Holmes Détective Conseil: Octobre 1891 (1991)

Overview

We’ve just arrived at 221B Baker Street when Dr. Watson takes us aside. "Gentlemen, I’m deeply concerned about Mr. Holmes’s mental state. For two days now he’s been acquiring strange books and spending all his time at the coffee table playing patience with a deck of cards. I’m worried that he’s been seized by the idea of reading the future thus, which you will no doubt agree is quite illogical. Also, please don’t mention this madness of not speaking until he’s flipped a card."

Wiggins asks Watson if he can say when exactly the most brilliant mind of our time was overcome with this folly. "Precisely two days ago, after reading The Times." Wiggins looks over at us conspiratorially and whispers in our ear: "I rather think we’d do well to read that edition of the Times and start investigating, don’t you?"

So begins "October 1891," a single extra case expansion originally published in Role Mag' (#5 - March-April 1991).

An alternate main case title was added to the English and Spanish editions: * Spanish: El Caso de la Baraja * English: Case of Bad Fortunes
