MISSION TO EPSILON: The Intergalactic Federation encompasses a region of space hundreds of light years across.
Flare Teams are rapid response units of the Intergalactic Federation. Patrolling assigned sectors of IGF space in small starships, they respond to distress calls and render whatever assistance is possible. Their mandate includes humanitarian relief, technical assistance, emergency medical care, rescue, law enforcement, and military duties.
You are part of a Flare Team. You travel light and are trained to deal with nearly every conceivable situation. You might go long periods without receiving an emergency call—but when your subspace radio detects a call your Team must respond immediately.
However, resources of the IGF are spread thin. A Flare Team is always on its own, and is expected to overcome whatever challenges it may encounter. Teams know that there is no back-up—assistance from the IGF might take months to arrive.
The Cthulhu Mythos presents horrors far worse than mere death…
You won’t find any ghouls or deep ones, or other named Mythos entities here. The horrors found within have no names, but they are still very much of the Mythos. Your players will not have encountered their like before, and no one will be on safe, comfortable ground.
Nameless Horrors brings you six new scenarios that will frighten even the most experienced of Call of Cthulhu players, giving them reason to fear the unknown.
On release back in 1981, the initial setting of Call of Cthulhu focused upon the “classic” 1920s-era of the early twentieth century — the time of H.P. Lovecraft. It did not take long for players to realize the potential of the game —that it could adapt easily to other time periods.
Over the last thirty-plus years, players have been confronting the Cthulhu Mythos in all manner of historical settings: be it the Dark Ages, Imperial Rome, the Dreamlands, Victorian Gaslight-era, or even the far future! The minions of the Great Old Ones can always be found, lurking in the shadows.
The latest edition of Call of Cthulhu includes investigator occupations, equipment, and weapons for both the 1920s and modern-day settings, allowing for games to be set in either time-frame. In due course, other published settings will be updated to the latest edition of the rules; however, Cthulhu Through The Ages has been created to help players adopt the latest rule set for the wide range of settings published by Chaosium.
Here you will find straight-forward guidance and era-specific rules for investigator creation for seven different settings. Also offered are updated rules for combat and a sprinkling of other topics like scenario seeds, setting-specific monsters, and investigator organizations.
Now you can order your own print edition of this great supplement!
Trains embody the promise and peril of technological advance. They unlock opportunities for wealth and travel, but also create incredible chaos—uprooting populations and blighting landscapes. Work on or around the rails leads to unwelcome discoveries and, in light of the Mythos, dire implications in the spread of the rail system as a whole.
A certain path to uncovering unwelcome truths about the universe is to venture beyond our own “placid island of ignorance” and encounter foreign cultures. The Orient Express serves as the perfect vehicle for such excursions, designed as a bridge between West and East. Movement into mystery forms the central action for many stories in this volume. The only limitation placed upon writers for this collection was that their works somehow involve the Orient Express and the Mythos.
The last warning whistle has blown, and we are getting underway. Have your tickets at the ready and settle in for a journey across unexpected landscapes to a destination that—well, we’ll just let you see for yourself when you arrive. We promise this though: murder will be the least of your problems on this trip aboard the Orient Express!
This great collection of tales is now available for download! One price gets you e-files and the PDF.
THE DECADE OF THE 1950s: while many places in the world are still recovering from the horrors of the Second World War, it is a good time for America. The economy and industry are roaring, the middle class is exploding, and everyone can own their own home. The nation is filled with pride after a hard-won victory. The future never seemed brighter, and yet...
...never before have we faced a global threat as dire as the atomic bomb. Humanity has always waged war, but now we can eradicate all life on the planet. Educational films promise survival of a nuclear blast. In movies, the classic monsters of the 30s and 40s are replaced by horrors spawned of the atom.
Enemies are everywhere, and there are dangers in our midst: devilish rock n’roll, morally corrupt books, and sinister comic books corrupt the minds of our youth.
The dreaded Red Menace of Communism is poised to overthrow our government and strip-away all of our personal freedoms. Their comrades are everywhere and could be anyone, including your neighbor, your friend, or a member of your family. There are godless Communists spreading across the globe, and they must be stopped by any means necessary!
So here you have the world of Atomic-Age Cthulhu, bringing Lovecraftian horror to the postwar Golden Age.
For longer than two millennia they raided and subjugated their civilized neighbors of the West and the East. Europe, Russia, China, and the Islamic Caliphate feared them, and sometimes revered them as their masters. For no matter which tribe lead them, whether Huns, Turks, or Mongols, the Steppe Nomads ruled over central Asia and dared to wage war against anyone in the world, believing that their god Tengri granted them power over all inferior mortals. And in truth the gods of war often smiled upon their armies, blessing them with victories over countless enemies.
Wind on the Steppes is a supplement for Basic Roleplaying describing the features common to all nomad tribes, and the peculiarities of each nomad ethnicity or empire. Within you will find inspiration for fleshing out powerful enemies for your fantasy or historical campaigns, but its use is not limited to providing you with more detailed “bad guys”: Nomads can be fascinating player-characters, too. The harsh life of the steppe and the unique flavor of their shamanistic approach to the supernatural world gives you plenty of great roleplaying opportunities.
Thanks for stopping by,
