Three Macabre Mythos Experiments¸ Unusual Weapons¸ Weapons Diagram Foldouts.
For the Good of Mankind. Whether in the pursuit of knowledge or of vengeance¸ man has ever striven to seek greater knowledge of the world around him. Sometimes the seeker learns of things dark and forbidden¸ things never meant to be discovered. The seeker of knowledge finds that the world is infinitely vaster and more sinister than imagined¸ and is driven to ultimate despair and insanity. Already of warped mind¸ the seeker of vengeance inevitably turns his discoveries to corrupt ends.
Fatal Experiments is a collection of three independent 1920s adventures for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game. Two of the three scenarios are suitable for both beginning and experienced players¸ making this book a perfect companion for first-time buyers of the Call of Cthulhu game system. The remaining adventure is unusually dangerous ‐ to be played only by experienced¸ foolhardy investigators. The article New & Old Weapons for Call of Cthulhu discusses black-powder weaponry¸ and details many unusual and custom guns that have been created by enterprising gunsmiths¸ or that might be commissioned by investigators. Two 2-page fold-outs illustrating many of these antique or unusual firearms are provided.
