Eldritch horror and the 1890s seem like an even better combo than the typical pulpy fare. See for yourself in Cthulhu by Gaslight!
Every now and then you see a combination that makes you think, “yeah those flavors would taste great together.” Kind of like how if you look at your screen right now and imagine what it would be like to lick it, you know, instinctively, how it would feel to drag your tongue across that glass/thin layer of plastic screen protector. You can taste the pixels. In much the same way, you can taste the combo of Cthulhu and Victorian times presented in Cthluhu by Gaslight.
That’s right guv’ we’re talking Cthulhu in the fog shrouded streets of jolly old England. Invernesses. Greatcoats. Eldritch horrors the likes of which will drive the senses from you in terror. All of it combines in one easy package.
Cthulhu by Gaslight – Victorian Horrors
Listen. The best times for Cthulhu are the further away you get from the modern era. Part of what makes Cosmic Horror work is the enormity of it coupled with a looming sense of the unknown. And when the world feels like it’s on the cusp of a great discovery, that’s the perfect time for learning that man is insignificant, there are alien gods to whom you are less than an ant, and there’s also a shambling thing leaping out of the shadows right next to you.
Lovely times. Cthulhu by Gaslight invites you into the world of Victorian London. Where the lamplight flickers. And in the darkness and coal-blasted fogs, ancient horrors stir. The stars are right once again.
Unless someone can do something about it.
“The 1890s—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.
Happy adventuring!
