Call of Cthulhu

Pre-made adventures are super-helpful for the GM on the go. When necessary, they can just be dropped right into a game with minimal prep. Or, a GM can simply use one as a framework to do their own thing. Either way, more ideas floating around is nice. An Inner Darkness is a set of new adventures for Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition. The book is up on Kickstarter now.

From the campaign:

This is collection of Classic 1920’s era scenarios of 7th edition the Call of Cthulhu Roleplaying Game (published by Chaosium, Inc) with several goals in mind. We hope to present well researched, historically accurate and challenging adventures, with a slightly darker, harsher and more brutal tone than our fans might be used to. For Golden Goblin Press, this will be a more mature book, one focused on adult themes, designed to spark deep conversations among your players for years to come.

These scenarios will of course feature the malignant taint of the Cthulhu Mythos, but at the forefront of each will be one or more examples of social injustice, societal corruption, and mankind’s inhumanity to man. The 1920’s was a period of great social upheaval in America, when the borders between classes, races, and genders were changed. In this time of social upheaval and chaos, eldritch forces found fertile ground to exploit us. Mankind is never so vulnerable than when we are divided from within.

The campaign's around 1/4 of the way to its goal with still 30 days left to go.

One of the classic stories that pretty much every gamer knows at least of, if they've not actually read it, The Call of Cthulhu is one of H.P. Lovecraft's greatest works. Now, Free League Publishing is looking to create a new illustrated version, with art by Francois Baranger, having launched a Kickstarter campaign for it. While the initial funding is for just the illustrated novel, a stretch goal adds in a full RPG to it.

From the campaign:

H.P. Lovecraft is a giant of horror literature and popular culture. Since the 1920s his short stories and novels has spellbound generations and influenced countless games, comics, novels, records and films. His short story The Call of Cthulhu, written in 1926 and first published in Weird Tales in 1928, is an absolute classic. Now, french artist François Baranger presents the ultimate illustrated version of the story.

...

If we reach this goal we will produce a full-length role playing game. This came will feature Barangers art and will present a new take on Lovecraft’s stories. Once ready a PDF of the book will be included in all pledges on level HIGH PRIEST OF CTHULHU and above.

The campaign is underway now, with 20 days still on the clock.

From the announcement:

What has risen may sink, and what has sunk may rise...

The weakness of the human mind will soon be confronted by powers from beyond our world.

The stars are right. The end is near.

Having pre-made adventures are a great resource for GMs. If they want some nice ideas for games, or run out of time when prepping, they can be dropped in and you still have a great session. In this case, we're getting a trio of linked adventures for your Call of Cthulhu games. It's Hudson & Brand: Shadows of the Past, and it's up on Kickstarter now.

From the campaign:

Hudson & Brand: Shadows of the Past presents a trio of linked scenarios, set in Victorian London, where players of the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game (published by Chaosium, Inc), must  thwart an ancient cult that seeks vengeance against the Empire for its activities in Africa.  While this anthology collection builds upon the setting established in Hudson & Brand: Inquiry Agents of the Obscure, it stands on its own and the first book is not needed for these scenarios to be enjoyed. 

The 150-page, main book will contain three scenarios, scenario seeds based on the events and NPCs introduced in each scenario, and their impact on the historical record. All Maps, Handouts, and NPCs will be included in appendices in the book/PDF for easy reference and printing. Ten Pre-Generated Player Characters will also be included in an appendix. 

Taking inspirational cues from Sherlock Holmes, Ripper Street, Auguste Dupin, The Suspicions of Mr. Whicher, and The Incendiary's Trail,the book takes a mature look at the horror of Mythos machinations and the many dark corners in the seat of empire. 

Funds for this Kickstarter will go towards commissioning more art and the hiring of more writers and creatives of quality to expand the book. The funds will also go towards printing and distribution.

The campaign's about 3x its funding goal with still 29 days left to go.

The Idol of Cthulhu Kickstarter is for more than just an adventure in a book or pdf. They've got every angle covered, with ambiance music, props, and more. If you're in charge of a Call of Cthulhu game, you'd do right by your players to go check out the Kickstarter campaign.


From the campaign:

THE IDOL OF CTHULHU is a scenario for The Call of Cthulhu™ role-playing game, licensed by Chaosium, written by Matt Sanderson. It can been played as any CoC module, but it will have props specially created for it that will enhance your gaming experience.

The campaign's more than 3x funded, but there's only 6 days left to get in on it.

Another classic is being brought to your tabletops with Masks of Nyarlathotep for Eldritch Horror. But more than that, there's also going to be a new edition of the Call of Cthulhu adventure, updating it to the current 7th edition rules. So it's sort of a two-for-one update here.
Cults all over are worshiping a single, horrible entity. It's up to the investigators to put an end to their profane rituals before all the world is destroyed (isn't that just always the case?).




From the website:

Join the search to stop innumerable cults worshipping a single, dreaded being in Masks of Nyarlathotep, a new expansion for Eldritch Horror from Fantasy Flight Games, inspired by the classic Call of Cthulhu roleplaying adventure! At the same time, you can experience the adventure anew in your roleplaying group with a new edition of the Masks of Nyarlathotep adventure from Chaosium that brings the definitive Call of Cthulhu roleplaying campaign into the game's seventh edition.

From this story's inception in the first edition of the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game, the dark horrors of Nyarlathotep have thrilled and delighted fans around the world. With this expansion, Fantasy Flight Games worked closely with our good friends at Chaosium to learn the midnight secrets and terrifying truths of one of their most famous Ancient Ones—and we're thrilled for you to experience that in Eldritch Horror and the Call of Cthulhu RPG. The Masks of Nyarlathotep expansion for Eldritch Horror is now available for pre-order from your local retailer or the Fantasy Flight Games website here! For more information on the Masks of Nyarlathotep adventure for the Call of Cthulhu RPG, visit their website here!

It's about to get really warm here in Georgia. We've had a mild winter, and I can only imagine what the summer's going to be like. Best to think about colder times. Though, when thinking about them, not letting your mind be melted into insanity by Great Old Ones is probably a good idea. That's what you'll have to try and avoid in Cold Warning, a new adventure for Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition that's up on Kickstarter now.


From the campaign:

Cold Warning is a Jazz Era, Call of Cthulhu 7th edition scenario set in Arkham, Massachusetts and Hudson, Maine. What begins with the dubious suicide of Joseph Sutton and the bizarre behavior of his widow Marilyn, leads investigators to Winter Haven, a remote hunting lodge in rural Maine. Here they experience mysterious phenomena, encounter suspicious lodge guests and staff, learn of ancient legends, and confront strange and frightening creatures before finally witnessing the awesome power of a Great Old One. Golden Goblin Press is proud to present this chilling adventure from Golden Age master Scott David Aniolowski.

The Kickstarter is closing in on 2x funded, but there's only 4 days left to join in if you want.

While most Cthulhu Mythos games revolve around current day, or at least going back to maybe the 1950s or so, perhaps you want to play something a bit more ancient. I mean, the Great Old Ones didn't just start to mess with humanity, after all. What if you want to play some horror RP back in the times of Ancient Rome? Well, Cthulhu Invictus does just that, having been updated for the 7th edition of the Cthulhu RPG. It's up on Kickstarter now.




From the campaign:

Take your Call of Cthulhu game back in time to the Age of the Antonines, The Golden Age of Imperial Rome. Battle sinister cults, unspeakable horrors, and alien gods across the Roman Empire, from the misty shores of Britannia to the bustling markets of the Arabia, deep in the forests of Germania and across the stacks of the Library of Alexandria, from the Pyramids to the Parthenon, from the Colosseum to Hadrian's Wall, from the trading ports of North Africa to the coast of the Black Sea. Adventure, glory, death, and madness await.

The Kickstarter is up and running now and is set to go for another 35 days.

Everybody go crazy! There's a new adventure for Call of Cthulhu up on Kickstarter! Ok, maybe don't go crazy, literally. That would inhibit your playing ability. Though, being Call of Cthulhu, it's highly likely that your character will go crazy. That's just sort of par for the course.


Sun Spots is a new scenario set in New England during the Roaring 20s. The whole scenario is around 28k words, giving 3-6 players around 8-10 hours worth of play. And, obviously, you don't want to give away too many details in your campaign, otherwise, players will know what all is going on ahead of time. As such, you just kinda gotta take this one on pedigree. The original scenario was written with the help of Keith "Doc" Herber, long-time writer and editor for Call of Cthulhu. Unfortunately, it all got shelved with Doc's unfortunate passing in 2009. But now it's up on Kickstarter for you to check out.

The campaign has made it over it's funding goal. So it's on to stretch goals for the next 23 days.

I know we don't report much on all the various LCGs that Fantasy Flight (or anyone else) puts out, but with something like this, we figure it's justified. Fantasy Flight Games has announced that they will be bringing the Call of Cthulhu card game to a close. They say all good things must come to an end. This is one of those cases.


Those of you that still play the game, or want to get into the game, the cards will still be available via the Fantasy Flight webshop. Just no new sets will be coming out after the Mark of Madness deluxe expansion box hits shelves.

The announcement page has some words from a few of the people that worked on the game over the years, if you'd like to hear from them.

Moon Design Publications is now part of the Chaosium ownership. Chaosium is now the licensed publisher for RuneQuest, HeroQuest, and various items from the Gloranthan universe. They will also continue to publish the Call of Cthulhu line. This means that Moon Design Publications will now be fulfilling all the Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition Kickstarter orders.


“I for one welcome our new Lunar overlords”, said Sandy Petersen at the announcement.

The new management team of Chaosium will be: Rick Meints (President and Secretary), Jeff Richard (Vice President and Creative Director), Michael O'Brien (Vice President of Product Development and Community Outreach), and Neil Robinson (CFO). Greg Stafford, the original founder of Chaosium, will be the new Chairman of the board of directors. Sandy Petersen will continue to be Director of the company board.

“I’m really excited to see Glorantha and RuneQuest return to their proper home in Chaosium,” said Greg Stafford, “The band is now back together, and we’re ready to rock on”.

Source

Chaosium is hitting the wayback button and going back to their roots with some new old staffing. First off, Greg Stafford, founder of the company and a major creative force during the formative years of the company in the 1980s, is back as the President. Also rejoining the ranks is Sandy Petersen. Who's that? Oh, only the designer of Call of Cthulhu to gaming tables to begin with. So what do these two have in store for Chaosium?


The first issue is getting the Kickstarter backers their various items, both for Horror on the Orient Express and Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition. From there, they want to sort through any lingering company problems and get those sorted out. Then, it's on to making awesome games and returning Chaosium to the glory days.

Talking about coming back to the company he founded, Greg said, "Chaosium is part of my legacy. My intent is to restore it to its rightful place in the world of gaming. Something we can all take pride in, and something that fans will look forward to." As for Sandy, he said, "I am excited to return to active participation in the Call of Cthulhu line, and I’m eagerly looking forward to working directly with Greg again. We are Chaosium's original team from the 1980s. My first focus is going to be the Call of Cthulhu 7th edition Kickstarter campaign."

Chaosium is coming out with a new edition of the long-standing gaming staple, Call of Cthulhu. They've released the Quick Start version of the game.



“That is not dead, which can eternal lie, and with strange aeons even death may die.” Call of Cthulhu rises from the grave with a new edition. TGN’s Enrico Nardini unearths this eldritch tome at the risk of his sanity.



Though, we're not entirely sure he was all that with it to begin with (just kidding, Enrico!). Get ready for another TGN Feature. This time it's Call of Cthulhu 7th edition QSR.


The Mythos is quite a popular property these days. You can’t swing a betenticled limb on your corrupted body without hitting a game that has drawn inspiration from H.P. Lovecraft’s iconic horror setting. Some play it straight, some go for laughs, some are grounded in the period, and some take the ideas into the future. Needless to say, gamers love these stories, and they are constantly being told over and over again to appease our visceral need to feel fear.



Call of Cthulhu, by Chaosium Inc., is the eldest of these elder gods, released all the way back in 1981. D&D had dabbled in the cyclopean horrors a year prior, but due to a dispute over rights, those select monsters were removed after the (now highly coveted) Deities & Demigods 1st Edition original print run. But, when most people think roleplaying and Lovecraft, they are likely thinking of Call of Cthulhu.

Call of Cthulhu has seen many iterations since its boxed, 1st Edition release. 5th Edition was “my edition,” as you can see by my beloved copy pictured below. But, we are currently in the age of 7th Edition, the product of a wildly successful Kickstarter campaign (1405% successful, raising $561,836) run by Chaosium in June of 2013. When was the new edition supposed to ship to backers? October… of 2013. It’s safe to assume that they underestimated their production needs or were victims of their own success. Regardless, we’ve got this modest release to tide us over.



Presentation

Do you want to know a way to get me to buy pretty much any book? Put an Elder Thing on the cover! (You know what I mean. Get your mind out of the gutter.) The Elder Things are one of Lovecraft’s iconic monsters. Discovered by researchers on an Antarctic expedition, these star-born genetic engineers and the horrors they created on pre-cambrian earth are the focal point in the legendary tale “At the Mountains of Madness.” It’s not my favorite story from H.P., but I rank it highly.

Though I find the cover intriguing, the Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition Quick-Start Rules rulebook is, over all, a rather Spartan affair. It’s a 41 page, perfect bound, black-and-white book. There are some nice pieces of art on the inside; the font choice, size, and the standard, two-column layout are plain but effective. It’s like that beat-up station wagon you drove in high school; it will get you where you need to go, but you’re not going in style.



Content

A lot of what you would expect in a quick-start is present here. The book begins with an introduction and overview of the game. This includes the classic “Never Played a Roleplaying Game Before Section.” Though thankfully it is concise. The actual rules span pages 5 through 18. Having experience with 5th Edition, I was impressed with how Chaosium was able to compress the core of the rules into such a small page count.

The rules include character creation, which is one thing that elevates this product above many quick-start rules sets. The Dungeons & Dragons Starter Set (for example) costs twice as much and still only utilizes pre-generated characters. Being able to make up my own characters was a significant positive.

Two rules that were new to me were the “Push” and “Bonus and Penalty Dice.” When a character fails a roll, if they can justify it, they can Push the roll. This represents escalating the situation. It grants the player a re-roll, but if they fail, they suffer a “significant consequence.” For example, Pushing a social interaction to intimidate a local vagabond for information might end in a fight if you fail.

Bonus and Penalty Dice are granted “under certain conditions” by the game master (GM). This will occur whenever circumstances would either benefit or hinder the player. Call of Cthulhu is a percentile system and utilizes 2 d10 dice to generate numbers 1% to 100%. Rolling lower is generally better. In these situations, the player will roll an extra “tens” d10 and take either the best (Bonus) or the worst (Penalty). This is very similar to the Advantage/Disadvantage mechanic in 5th Edition Dungeons & Dragons.

These situational rules are necessarily vague and their implementation relies on GM discretion. I personally don’t mind that, but your GM will need to think carefully about a situation and utilize their judgment when implementing them.



What is the one thing you would expect to see in a Call of Cthulhu rulebook? Sanity rules, of course! The sanity system is a core concept in the game, and loss of sanity plays into the overarching theme in almost all stories of the Mythos. Knowing the unknowable is dangerous. Well, the sanity rules are there... kind of. The way a sanity score is derived and how to take a Sanity Test are present, but the types of insanities and their corresponding rules are not. What? How could this be? Luckily, there is a Bouts of Madness table. It is tucked away in the included adventure. This can be used as a stop-gap for your first few sessions.

The adventure itself is quite good. I don’t want to give away too much, as I would not want to spoil it for players, but I’ll give you a quick synopsis. A Boston landlord has purchased the old Corbitt House. The landlord’s first tenets have been driven from the home under mysterious circumstances, and you have been asked/hired to investigate it.

The adventure is detailed, with lots of great locations for investigation. There are a number of GM sidebars that will help coach new GMs through the adventure. Veterans will probably not need these, but quick-start products are generally geared towards new players. The player hand-outs are a bit lackluster. There are no creative fonts or stylistic flairs. They’re just text in boxes (and one picture).

The relationship between the cover and the adventure annoyed me. There isn’t one. It’s a solid adventure, but I was hoping that it would have something to do with the cover. It doesn’t. I don’t want to call it a bait-and-switch. Elder Things are iconic Lovecraft, so the cover fits in the sense that “this image fits a general Cthulhu adventure.” I just wish the cover related to the story presented within.

Final Thoughts

The Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition Quick-Start Rules rulebook is a decent product. I liked it. But, there are some strange circumstances surrounding it that make it harder to recommend. One factor is that these are quick-start rules. Anyone that frequents Free RPG Day has come to expect these products for free. Now, this is a superior quick-start. You can do a fair bit with it, but you are still paying for an incomplete set of rules.

Of course, you don’t actually have to pay for them. That’s right. You can download the PDF of the quick-start from Chaosium Inc.’s website for free. If you have access to inexpensive printing or own an e-reader, purchasing a print version of this may not be worth the cash.

The Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition Quick-Start Rules rulebook is a decent get-you-by product that will introduce you to some of the new rules of 7th Edition CoC. At $9.95 it isn’t cost prohibitive, and I think it stacks up well against other, similar products. However, though I like the book and am happy to support Chaosium, I think most gamers would be better served downloading the free PDF, playing it to see if they like it, and then, if they do, purchasing the complete rules when they are released.

From the campaign:

The officially licensed RAFM Call of CthulhuMiniatures are award winning and an iconic leader in the horror genre within the gaming industry for decades. Originally launched in 1985, the line still draws the interest of hobbyists around the world. It is clear that loyal Call of Cthulhu fans want these miniatures to support their gaming.

And why not? They're awesome miniatures at a terrific price!

RAFM will be launching a new Call of Cthulhu Miniatures Kickstarter campaign starting in just a couple days.

From the announcement:

Silver Fox Productions Inc. will launch their new fundraising program for RAFM Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition on Kickstarter on January 22, 2014. This program will be open to supporters until Febuary 11, 2013. So find us on Kickstarter and support our new miniatures.

RAFM Call of Cthulhu Miniatures line provides gamers with pieces to bring life to Chaosium’s classic roleplaying game of Lovecraftian horror, in which ordinary people are confronted by the terrifying and alien forces of the Cthulhu Mythos. RAFM Call of Cthulhu Miniatures are hand sculpted 32mm white metal miniatures which can be painted or used to represent characters and monsters during game play. This bestselling line has won many game-industry awards and supports the Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition Chaosium ruleset.

The goal of this projet is to continue to build on the new edition of the RAFM Call of Cthulhu Miniatures which was started in the summer of 2013 and shipped to our supporters in December. The vision of the Kickstarter is to create miniatures from classic Chaosium modules including Masks of Nyarlathotep, Fungi from Yuggoth and House of R’lyeh. As new stretch goals are opened up, more modules and models may be added.

RAFM Company Inc, began producing rules and then miniatures for the gaming industry in 1979. RAFM Call of Cthulhu miniatures has probably been our most successful line. Envisioned and sculpted by Bob Murch for the Call of Cthulhu RPG by Chaosium Inc. the figures have transcended the industry and been reissued by many companies. None compare with the lasting tradition of the line. All miniatures are produced for Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu Role-playing Game and continue to be an official licensed product for the Call of Cthulhu Role-playing Game TM Seventh Edition.

Cubicle 7 has a Kickstarter campaign running in order to fund Cthulhu Britannica: London, a Cthulhu RPG box set.



Source

From the campaign:

We want to make the ultimate boxed setting for 1920s London for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game. Beautiful artwork to inspire you, gorgeous maps to lose yourself in, evocative tomes on the city and its Mythos secrets to terrify, enthral, and immerse you in the glamour and smog of the capital of the Empire.

This is a project that has been years in the making, and has attracted a huge amount of support from the community, with the biggest stumbling point is that smaller-volume print runs of boxed sets just don’t work financially. Kickstarter gives us the chance to overcome that hurdle and bring you the ultimate 1920s Cthulhu London setting.

As well as the fantastic boxed set, you can also get original content from a dazzling array of gaming luminaries. First up is a series of postcards you can use as inspiration or in-game handouts, with the initial postcard written by none other than Sandy Petersen. Sandy designed the Call of Cthulhu RPG, numerous other games and adventures, and most recently the Cthulhu Wars boardgame.
