Adventure, Mystery, & Horror in the 1890s

The 1880s—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 takes the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game to the fog-shrouded streets of Great Britain and beyond. Inside, you'll find:

  • The Call of Cthulhu core rules, including character creation.
  • Setting information for Victorian London, the Empire, and the gaslight period of the 1880s to 1900.
  • A list of equipment and weapons to arm your Investigator.
  • Rules for Exploration, Fringe Science, and the Occult.
  • 10 ready-to-play characters.

This book contains the rules for creating Gaslight-era investigators, as well as the core rules for Call of Cthulhu, making it perfect for new and veteran players.

ArthurArthur The Soldier

“The famous Arthur? I had begun to think you were a legend…”

A literary novel of Arthurian legend, Arthur the Soldier peers through the myths of King Arthur and shows what might have been the Dark Age reality, a blooded soldier, returned from distant wars, striving to bring unity and order to the land he loves.

In this evocative first release of Chaosium’s new Pendragon Fiction line, Arthurian scholar Chris Gidlow brings the legends to life, vividly transporting the reader to tumultuous post-Roman Britain.

Arthur the Soldier is Part One of the Ruin of Britain trilogy, the first title in Chaosium's new Pendragon Fiction line.

Copies of these book will also be available for purchase at the event.

Coming to Dragonmeet on Saturday 30th? This is the night before!
