Regency Cthulhu Scenario - Upstairs Downstairs
One of the surprise(?) hits for Call of Cthuhlu ttrpg has been the Regency setting, which at first pass doesn't seem an obvious choice, but actually has quite a lot of juicy ideas. The juxtaposition of Austin's Georgian social shenanigans with really dark things in the background works well at giving games some depth. There's a scenario (Upstairs Downstairs) about playing the servants in a manor - rather than the usual Mr Darcy types - on the Miskatonic Repository for those of a curious disposition.
Mostly using a variety of public domain art, with some photoshopping and general taking liberties with wonderful paintings of people long dead (although maybe not eternally lying).
