Lovecraft’s fiction works (as well as his poetry, essays, and more) are available at http://www.hplovecraft.com/
The Cthulhu mythos was also an early “shared world” as Lovecraft allowed other writers (including Clark Ashton Smith and August Derleth) to borrow features of his stories, such as Miskatonic University and of course Cthulhu himself.
The Sale
In Lovecraft’s honor, Tabletop Adventures is offering all its horror-related products at 30% off for one day only! This sale is effective on both RPGNow and DriveThruRPG and includes books of fantasy, modern, and futuristic descriptions suitable for use with any gaming system plus, in solidarity, our own Against the Darkness Vatican horror roleplaying game.
Of course dungeons or swamps are classic settings for horrible things, but for Cthulhu mythos who doesn’t like caverns? Bits of Darkness: Caverns has realistic (and fantasy) descriptions of caverns, the better to lull your investigators with a feeling of normalcy before hitting them with something surpassingly weird.
For the present day there is Halls of Horror, to enliven the investigation of any spooky house, from Lovecraft’s time to ours. These descriptions are written primarily for the modern day but they can be used for adventures in the 1940s or 1920s (or even the gaslight period) with only the most minor modifications.
Looking forward, Into the Future: Derelict Starships is the perfect GM aid for when humanity moves out to confront the horrors among the stars themselves. It describes details of ruined spaceships, including 100 general descriptions plus others for specific areas – engineering, the hydroponics bay, and more. Almost all the GM needs to do is determine what horror wreaked this havoc, and where on the ship it is waiting for the investigators!
Similarly, Destinations: Repair Station 7-Osiris is a bustling space station in the first part of this short product by Martin Ralya, and dark and destroyed later on. What better way to generate shock than to have a much-visited waystation suddenly dead, and inhabited by beings humans were never meant to encounter?
Get any of these products today at 30% off their regular prices for one day only! Be ready to draw your players into the madness, with descriptions from Tabletop Adventures.
In addition, RPGNow and DriveThruRPG are having a sale through the end of the month of over 800 products relating to horror and the Cthulhu mythos. If you use one of our links to go to the website and then make a purchase, Tabletop Adventures will receive a small credit back as an affiliate. This credit does not change the price of your purchase at all, and even small amounts add up to something useful, so we appreciate any time you use one of our links.
