On release back in 1981, the initial setting of Call of Cthulhu focused upon the ÒclassicÓ 1920s-era of the early twentieth century Ñ the time of H.P. Lovecraft. It did not take long for players to realize the potential of the game Ñthat it could adapt easily to other time periods.
Over the last thirty-plus years, players have been confronting the Cthulhu Mythos in all manner of historical settings: be it the Dark Ages, Imperial Rome, the Dreamlands, Victorian Gaslight-era, or even the far future! The minions of the Great Old Ones can always be found, lurking in the shadows.
Here you will find straight-forward guidance and era-specific rules for investigator creation for seven different settings. Also offered are updated rules for combat and a sprinkling of other topics like scenario seeds, setting-specific monsters, and investigator organizations.
