The classic horror role-playing game Call of Cthulhu, based on H. P. Lovecraft's works on cosmic horror that man was not ment to know, takes place in what appears to be our own 1920s. But in the shadows, ancient gods such as Cthulhu, Yog-Sothoth, and Shub-Niggurath are worshiped by insidious cults. Players take on the role of Investigators who defy the dangers of death and insanity to fight the horrors mentioned in Necronomicon.
Where other role-playing games are about heroes who grow in power and take on even more epic challenges, Call of Cthulhu is about ordinary people who are slowly broken down by the madness they encounter. The rules are based on the classic and reputable Basic Role-Playing System created for RuenQuest, with add-ons like Sanity to better suit the theme.
Call of Cthulhu, published by Chaosium since 1981, is now in its seventh edition.
