 |
Customers are advised that contents of this book include themes of disease¸ infection¸ and contamination that may upset the reader (and players).
Autophagia is a one-night scenario for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game published by Chaosium¸ Inc¸ edited by Chitin Proctor¸ and written by Tyler Omichinski and with art by Stephanie McAlea.
Taking its inspirational cues from The Poseidon Adventure¸ Contagion¸ Who Goes There?/The Thing¸ and Sandy Petersen's The Derelict¸ the book takes a mature look at the horror of human nature and its ability to shirk from disease¸ the afflicted¸ and the causes thereof.
The scenarios deal with unavoidable fates¸ dark secrets¸ and seriously bad choices made by the antagonists. As so often is the case¸ there are no winners when fate has trapped you in a dice game for doom or destiny. As such¸ please be aware that some of the themes are quite mature and are suitable for Gamers who are at least of young adult age and maturity.
