The Cthulhu Hack: The Haunter of the Dark takes HP Lovecraft's final Mythos tale of doomed writer Robert Blake and guides you, step-by-step, through the process of turning it into a tabletop RPG investigation; tools you can then use time and again.
The supplement includes:
- an adventure sequel to 'The Haunter of the Dark', Lovecraft's final solo Mythos story;
- thoughts, advice and guidance on breaking down a story into gameable content;
- 9-pages of carefully crafted random content tables, to help spark your creativity or create new content for your adventures on the fly; and
- an annotated version of the HP Lovecraft's original suspenseful tale. Filled with thoughts, annotations, and highlighted key elements, it picks out the potential game content as a guide to doing that same yourself.
Eric Dodd, RPG Geek review - "Along with other general books like 'Stealing Cthulhu', 'The Haunter of the Dark' is recommended to anyone trying to write an adventure in a true Lovecraftian style."
