Call of Cthulhu Occupation Kit: Artist
Only a real artist knows the actual anatomy of the terrible or the physiology of fear-the exact sort of lines and proportions that connect up with latent instincts or hereditary memories of fright¸ and the proper color contrasts and lighting effects to stir the dormant sense of strangeness. - H.P. Lovecraft¸ Pickman's Model (1926)
Be it paying a café check with sketches before their big exhibit in Paris¸ or scribbling on an old notebook in a Kingsport boarding house they can barely afford¸ the artist's sensibility makes them live to the fullest and put their work before everything.
Play a Better Artist!
Let yourself be guided by the fumes of creativity and evoke the intangible mysteries of mind and spirit by playing an artist in Call of Cthulhu's Classic Setting. This Occupation Kit builds on the brief information found in the Keeper's Rulebook and Investigator Handbook¸ using both historical records regarding the effervescent artistic movements of the 1920s¸ and the representations of art and creativity in both H.P. Lovecraft's original works and the rich history of Cthulhu Mythos roleplaying games' scenarios and supplements. Find career paths¸ useful jargon¸ motivations and hooks¸ public perceptions of the occupation¸ and real-life examples from the 1920s and 30s.
