Moreover, the new edition is pretty dang good and doesn’t really need that much of a tweak in the first place, and Petersen has Petersen Games and Cthulhu Wars to manage as well, so one can’t necessarily expect to him to just dive in and start writing masses of material for the game again. On the Petersen side, his takeover took place a bit late in the day for him to have much direct role in the new edition of Call of Cthulhu – Mike Mason and Paul Ficker had largely done the job already and the old regime at Chaosium had got up to the point of working on the layout and preparing for printing before they fell over and died. On the Stafford side of things, it enabled them to produce a shiny new edition of RuneQuest that’s truer to Stafford’s vision than any preceding edition (having incorporated concepts developed in his home campaign and Pendragon in quite an artful manner), and it’s nice that they were able to do this before Stafford’s unexpected passing. Each scenario comes with a set of ready to play pre-generated investigators.One beneficial side effect of Sandy Petersen and Greg Stafford stepping in to take direct control of Chaosium and put a new regime in place (spearheaded by the Moon Design Publications crew) is that it allowed the new regime to work closely with the creators of Chaosium’s most beloved setting (Stafford and Glorantha) and RPG (Petersen with Call of Cthulhu). Voice on the Phone-a tale of two brothers set in the violent world of gang culture.Īdvice for getting the most out of the scenarios is provided, as well as suggestions for expanding the scope of the adventures. The Derelict-a final journey brings a remarkable discovery and a hidden terror. Mohole-an experimental drilling project delves too deep and brings the attention of an ancient unspeakable horror.
Hotel Hell-an inheritance conceals a hideous secret that may spell the end of the world. Panacea-behind a miraculous cure for many ills hides a loathsome truth.
Within, you will find the following tales of mystery and horror:
Each one-shot scenario is designed for one or more sessions of play. Gathered from across the aeons, this anthology of horror brings together for the first time a series of scenarios from the mind of Sandy Petersen, the creator of the Call of Cthulhu Roleplaying Game.
