Show Notes

This week, Fiona is joined by Sam and David for ‘Call of Cthulhu’, a horror role-playing game inspired by the Cthulhu Mythos.

First released by Chaosium in 1981; ‘Call of Cthulhu’ allows players to take the roles of steady fast investigators drawn into the realm of the mysterious and otherwordly. Within strange and forgotten tomes of lore, players may even discover revelations that man was not meant to know, revelations that may very well decide the fate of the world.

You can find out more about ‘Call of Cthulhu’ and other Chaosium’s RPG products on their website.
