yay, I know your happy. I know I would be to find something like that. I was happy when I found GWTW online - searchable Gone With Thw Wind :D

Also an interesting related note: Dungeon #134 features an adventure called "And Madness Followed", which regards a troupe of players who perform The King In Yellow for increasingly wider audiences, spreading insanity and carnage wherever they perform; your job is to track down and stop said players. I've run it before as a 2 shot adventure- great fun.
