(RPG PDF Spotlight) Rivers of London: Underground, Overground

A chaotic urban street scene with a red double-decker bus and a subway train suspended in mid-air, flames erupting from the ground. Several people in modern and period clothing are scattered across the street, some running, others standing in shock. A fox with glowing eyes walks in the foreground. Buildings with brick facades and a London Underground sign are visible in the background. The text at the top reads "Underground, Overground The Case File Collection" and at the bottom "Based on the novels by Ben Aaronovitch". The top left corner includes the text "Rivers of London the Roleplaying Game".
