Cthulhu Now (1e)
Modern Background and Adventures For Call of Cthulhu Roleplaying. CTHULHU and the Old Ones remain powerful in the half-century since Lovecraft's death. The globe is well-explored¸ but the darkness within men's souls in unfathomed. Now human fortunes encompass Cthulhu and the H-bomb too! Does technology aid the struggle for good¸ or is it helpless against forces from beyond space¸ beyond time? Cthulhu Now includes four roleplaying adventures¸ The City in the Sea¸ The Killer Out of Space¸ The Evil Stars¸ and Dreams Dark and Deadly.
"Background essays provide new skills and occupations¸ up-to-date cash-flow information¸ an elaborate firearms article (and foldout illustrating contemporary firearms)¸ active and passive night-vision equipment¸ a survey of forensic pathology from Sherlock Holmes' day to the present (required reading for every serious player)¸ and even a hit location option (useful when lots of bullets must be dealt with). Player aids for the adventures are repeated on perforated pages at the back of the book.
