Cthulhu by Gaslight: Investigator’s Guide

Beschrijving

Adventure, Mystery, & Horror in the 1890s

The late 1800s—Victorian England. Mystery and adventure in fog-shrouded streets and alleyways. Secret cabals pledge to bring horror and the ruin of civilization. Grisly murder and wicked crimes.

Cthulhu by Gaslight takes the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game back to the days of Queen Victoria. Whether in Great Brittain or its colonies, or beyond to the banks of East Coast USA or the lands of Asia, the Victorian Age brims over with wonder and dark shadows.
This book introduces both new and experienced players to the Gaslight setting and the Call of Cthulhu tabletop roleplaying game, and contains all the rules for creating Victorian investigators, as well as the basic rules of the full Call of Cthulhu game, enabling everyone to get into the action and mysteries straight away. A companion volume, the Cthulhu by Gaslight: Keeper’s Guide, provides game masters with Victorian Age scerets and plots, and ready-to-play scenarios.

Inside, you’ll find:
• Background on the 1880s to 1900 period
• Full character creation rules
• Call of Cthulhu basic rules
• Investigator equipment and weapons
• Rules for Exploration, Fringe Science, and the Occult.
• 10 ready-to-play characters.

This supplement works best with the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game and, optionally, with the Pulp Cthulhu supplement, both available separately.

This book deals with mature themes and is intended for mature players.
