The acclaimed expert in the mysterious, Kenneth Hite, combines his encyclopedic knowledge of vivid historical details with his mastery of H. P. Lovecraft's classic horror tales to bring his cosmic malignancy to the 1930s, a time when the stealthy madness of the Elder Gods intertwines with the overwhelming cruelty of global totalitarianism.
The Trail of Cthulhu is designed for investigative gaming: the challenge lies in interpreting the clues, not in finding them. The game also offers:
Two modes of play: Pulp (for the "desperate action" feel of Robert E. Howard or Indiana Jones) and Purist (filled with philosophical horror and cosmic dread)
A fresh take on Lovecraft's creatures and cults that makes even the most familiar elements of the Mythos surprising and terrifying at the gaming table
Innovative rules for sanity and stability
A Motivations mechanic that addresses the eternal question of horror role-playing games: "Why don't we just forget what we've seen and go home, where it's safe?"
Tips from the Game Moderator on how to run a horror adventure
Detailed notes on designing a captivating and cohesive investigation adventure using the clue structure of the GUMSHOE system.
The Trail of Cthulhu won two ENnie Awards for Best Rules and Best Writing, as well as receiving an honorable mention for Product of the Year. It is currently available in five languages.
