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.
Call of Cthulhu
Modiphius has anounced a new, updated version of the Achtung! Cthulhu Keeper's and Investigator's Guides, bringing them in line with Call of Cthulhu 7th Edition. Along with that, there's the new Under the Gun short adventure to bring players into that setting quickly and easily.
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.
Ia! Ia!
The stars are right. Or, they will be right on February 15th. Get over all that lovey-dovey stuff from the day before with a whole heaping helping of horror. Free League Publishing has announced that's the date they'll launch their new Illustrated Call of Cthulhu Kickstarter campaign.
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.
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.
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?).

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.

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

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.
