“Writing must flow like a dark and winding river,
revealing only what is necessary and leaving the rest to the imagination.”
– H.P. Lovecraft
Cthulhu Bay – Return to the City of Evil and Other Tales is the new Cthulhu Bay role-playing game manual that takes you on a rediscovery of the Cthulhu Myths, created by H.P. Lovecraft, with a layout inspired by the old pulp horror magazines Weird Tales.
This volume will take you on new supernatural investigations among forgotten secrets and horrors beyond the limits of reason.
Inside you will find a short guide full of tips and hints for creating your own Tale. Get ready to cross new thresholds of terror with three new unpublished Short Stories:
- Return to the City of Evil, where investigators explore the ruins of the legendary city in a Howard-style pulp.
- The Lighthouse, on the other hand, is a Tale of Isolation and Madness, somewhere between Poe and Lovecraft, set on the island of Oldport, where the lighthouse keeper and his family face eerie presences.
- Flight AKO13N, Lovecraft meets King in a Modern Tale: on a commercial flight, an unexplained event disrupts the lives of passengers.
Finally, Cthulhu Bay‘s rules in Solitaire Mode will allow you to tackle the Tales on your own: with a deck of cards and the basic manual, you will be the sole architect of your own descent into madness.
