"The Game's Afoot!"
The 1880s—Victorian England. Mystery and adventure in fog-shrouded streets and alleyways. Secret cabals commit grisly murder, wicked crimes, and pledge to bring about the ruin of civilization—all within the square mile of the City of London.
Cthulhu by Gaslight takes the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game to the fog-shrouded streets of Great Britain and beyond. This book is designed for Keepers—those who will be running the game. Inside, you'll find: Advice for bringing the setting to life. Information on villainous organizations and occult societies like the Secrets of the Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn. Scenario seeds to help you pen Cthulhu by Gaslight stories of your own design. Monsters and Mythos elements unique to Gaslight-era Britain. New occult-based skills, spells, tomes, and rules for astral combat.
The book contains two scenarios set in the Gaslight world, "The Forby Masterwork" by Penny Love and "Oranges & Lemons" by Mike Lay. These engaging adventures will leave Investigators running for their lives faster than a Dickensian waif.
