* {{Pulp}}: The module is designed very much with a globe-trotting action-filled sensibility.

The premise is the player characters are friends with TrueCrime (specifically, cults) author Jackson Ellias, who contacts them one night about a terrifying threat to his life as well as the world as a whole. This kicks off a globe-trotting campaign that visits New York, London, Cairo, Kenya, Australia, and China. A number of Nyarlathotep-worshiping cults are trying to bring about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt and it's up to the player characters to stop it. The campaign, like most ''Call of Cthulhu'' campaigns, was set during the 1920s (1926 to be precise) and had a {{Pulp}} action sensibility.

** [[GoodGirlsAvoidAbortion Hypatia Masterson]] wants a child to replace the one she lost during a botched abortion. Nyarlathotep gives her a monster baby that will ultimately kill her.

* LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition: One of the more ambitions ones out there, bursting at the seams with {{Feelies}} including a full set of cultist robes, cult artifacts and piles of supplementary documents. One of the more ambitious price tags out there, too. If you flew coach you could probably visit all the countries the protagonists do for what it costs and still have enough left over to buy the vanilla edition.

* CelebrityParadox: InUiverse example. [[AllThereInTheManual According to supplementary materials]], most of ''Dark Adventure'''s sponsors are owned by [[MegaCorp New World Incorporated]], which belongs to the BigBad of another ''COC'' adventure module, ''Fungi from Yuggoth''. Said module was adapted into the previous episode ''Brotherhood of The Beast'', starring the recurring HPLHS original character Nate Ward.

Added DiffLines:

* RaceLift: A cyclical example. Jackson Elias is white again, despite this version otherwise mostly taking after 7th Edition, as a black man being engaged to a wealthy socialite in 1920s America would rather strain the WillingSuspensionOfDisbelief.

Added DiffLines:

* EqualOpportunityEvil: Many of the cults serving Nyarlathotep contain both "exotic" foreign cultures and white allies who can move within what was considered "respectable" society. Depending on the players' actions this can turn into a deconstruction, as the easiest way to deal with the cultists is often to incite infighting by exploiting the resentment the former usually have for the latter.

Added DiffLines:

* ThePsychoRangers: The Carlyle Expedition were a team of eclectic adventurers on a globe-trotting quest, not unlike the player characters, the difference being they all wound up in service to Nyarlathotep, willingly or otherwise.
