Cosmic Horrors in Victorian London
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 is a stand-alone game, and contains the complete rules for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game, including character creation. You do not need a copy of the Call of Cthulhu: Keeper Rulebook or Call of Cthulhu: Starter Set to play. The Cthulhu by Gaslight: Investigators’ Guide can be enhanced with the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game as well as the Pulp Cthulhu supplement, both available separately.
A complete list of weapons and equipment appropriate for the Gaslight-period. Rules for exploring in the 1890s, and extensive information on Fringe Science and the Occult practices of the time. The book also includes 10 pre-generated Cthulhu by Gaslight Investigators.
This lavishly illustrated nearly 300 page book is throughly researched and will prove both informative and useful for those interesting in gaming in this setting. If Victorian London was good enough for Sherlock Holmes, we think it's good enough for you.
