Malum Umbra or Shadows of Evil
The First Cthulhu Invictus Companion
2008
Miskatonic University Library Association (MULA) Monograph #0353
The translation of the above graffiti should be well known to most fans of the Cthulhu Mythos. It is In his house at Rlyeh, dead Cthulhu waits dreaming. For a time the Roman Empire stretched across most of the known world uniting various peoples under its rule. Cultures met, clashed, were conquered and changed one another in the processes. Information traveled along Roman roads along with goods and troops, spreading knowledge and enlightenment throughout the empire. Rome, for some, meant civilization, order and justice. For others it meant enslavement, oppression and occupation. It was the crest of historys tide, and when it was gone darkness and chaos reigned for nearly a thousand years. But for now the Roman Empire was a light that kept the dark ages at bay, but with every light there are always shadows.

4 New World Scenarios...
1914 "The Well of Sacrifice", by John H. Crowe III, is a bit of a legend around Pagan Publishing. Playtested again and again, the scenario gained the nick-name "The Boneyard." Let's hope your players fare better than we did.
1923 "The Mehirs in the Grotto", by Brian Appleton, brings the Investigators to central Mexico, where an ancient evil is being unearthed by modern progress.
1925 "The Heretics," by John H. Crowe III, places the Investigators between two warring groups of Mythos cultists, with very few good options open to them.
1927 "The Temple of the Toad", by Brian Appleton, provides a grim epiloge to a classic tale of the Cthulhu Mythos, one that could easily consume the members of an expedition into the jungles of Honduras.

Tales of Death and Darkness
2008
Miskatonic University Library Association (MULA) Monograph #0321
_When Mr. Tuttle went into the storage room several days later, he saw a stack of papers piled beside the typewriter. Curious, he went to the stack and began reading. They were stories: stories of places near and far, stories of long ago and of the distant future. They were stories of struggles against unnamable things and the heroes who defended mankind against them. They were tales of death and darkness.
Who could have written such things? The door was locked and he had the only key. He wondered if someone could have gotten in. In the room beside the unused one, a family was on holiday with their son. That afternoon, Mr. Tuttle asked the boy if he had seen anyone going into the room. The boy replied that he hadn’t and asked him if something was the matter?
“Well,” answered Mr. Tuttle, “it seems someone was using the typewriter in that room and they left a stack of stories.”
The boy smiled and asked, “Are they scary stories?”
Mr. Tuttle was taken aback. “Why, yes they are. How did you know that?”
The boy answered, “If they’re scary stories, then the mice wrote them, the white mice in the walls. They have lots of stories to tell. Usually they’re the scary kind“.
Mr. Tuttle was a native of Kingsport, and had lived there all his life. He believed the young boy._
The White Mice In the Walls, the creative team that brought you “Ripples from Carcosa”, proudly presents “Tales of Death and Darkness”. Three multi-session 1920’s scenarios (one in two parts) will challenge your investigators as they encounter the forces of the mythos. Pre-Gen characters are provided, but need not be used, for all but the final scenario.
The Devil is in the Details\— wherein the investigators learn that small mistakes can become bigger ones and the only thing more dangerous than too much knowledge is too little. This scenario takes place during winter, at an old deserted mansion in the Catskill Mountains of New York State
Keys of Madness: Part One, Key West\— wherein investigators journey to Key West to meet with a discredited archeologist who claims to have made an amazing discovery. The first half of this two-part scenario takes place in glamorous Key West, one of the riches cities in America at the time, in the state of Florida.
Keys of Madness: Part Two, Caya Locura\— wherein the investigators come to the end of the missing professor’s trail and view firsthand the wonders and horrors of the past. The second half of this scenario concludes on the lost island of Caya Locura, at the site of the missing professor’s greatest discovery.
Borne Into Darkness\— Wherein investigators seek to solve the mystery of a series of vanishings from a roadside motel and find that small towns often hide the largest terrors. This short investigation completes the collection and takes place in the small town of Litchfield, New Hampshire and serves well as a “Drop In” adventure into an existing campaign.

Arkham Now
Revisiting the Legend-Haunted City
2010
\[CALL OF CTHULHU ROLEPLAYING\] "Arkham Now" updates to modern times the famous and fabled city of Arkham for the "Call of Cthulhu" roleplaying game. Most residents believe there is only one horror lurking in this legendary haunted town—the urban sprawl slowly eroding Arkham's old New England beauty. Rushing by neon signs and mega-marts on a quest to obtain even more material possessions, no one has time to notice the more disturbing, underlying qualities of the city—the grotesque vegetation sprouting in some places, the sometimes-odd taste from the reservoir's drinking water, the disturbingly high rate of birth defects, and the too-frequent child abductions.

Monophobia
2010
Almost a decade in development, Monophobia is a collection of Call of Cthulhu adventures for lone Investigators (and a willing Keeper). Written by Mark Chiddicks and Marcus Bone, two veteran Call of Cthulhu Keepers, it includes fantastic cover art by Ashley Jones (the artist responsible for the most compelling Tatters of the King).
In Monophobia you will find:
Advice on running adventures for lone Investigators.
Three Mythos-based adventures taking 2-4 hours each to complete.
Handouts and maps for each scenario.
A pre-generated Investigator specifically created for each adventure.
THE ADVENTURES
Monophobia contains three adventures. Each is designed to explore a different aspect of the Mythos, and will push the Investigator to the limit of their sanity, skill and determination.
Vengeance From Beyond – In which a hunt for a stolen book ends surprisingly easily, but not without consequences. When the spirit of a dead occultist haunts the Investigator in ways that nobody else can see, madness beckons, and the only escape seems to lie in crossing the ultimate threshold.
Of Grave Concern –In which the Investigator’s knowledge could well be the death of them. When a meeting with an acquaintance results in the Investigator’s mind being transferred into a walking corpse, it’s a race against time to discover who could perpetrate such a dastardly deed… and more importantly, why?
Robinson Gruesome – In which the Investigator is marooned on a South Seas island, and goes from believing he is utterly alone to fervently wishing that he truly was. Facing death from all quarters, the Investigator must confront a desperate native priest and his ancient god in a primitive struggle to the death.

Shadows Over Scotland
2011
Mysterious, wild and beautiful, Scotland in the 1920s is home to horrors modern and ancient, man-made and star-born. From the rolling pastoral Lowlands to the snow-capped peaks of the Highlands and the seaweed-choked Western Isles, creatures and cultures have taken root in Scotland whose maddening, corrupting influence can be felt far and wide. Fiendish things haunt the hive-like alleys and wynds of old Edinburgh, while Glasgow's streets whisper with rumours of dark terrors in the shipyard shadows on the snaking, poisonous Clyde. And in the isles, murmurs on fishing boats and ferries speak of far older things, of sites of power and standing stones, awakenings and stirrings in forgotten places. Something terrifying lurks in the night, casting dark shadows over Scotland.
Shadows over Scotland is a massive new hardback sourcebook for Chaosium's Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game covering Scotland in the 1920s. It

Bumps in the Night
2012
Say your prayers.
Light your lamp.
Load your revolver.
It won't do any good.
Pagan Publishing is proud to present five non-Mythos scenarios of supernatural horror and mystery from author John H. Crowe III. Inside this musty tome you won't find deep ones, or shoggoths, or Great Old Ones, but you will find loathsome horrors perpetrated by both the living and the dead. Ghosts, demons, poltergeists, spirits and the undead are the order of the day.
What horror is devouring the locals in "The Westerfield Incident?"
What has caused the graves to open in "The Vengeful Dead?"
Can the Investigators save themselves from "The Bitter Venom of the Gods?"
Will they unravel the "Curse of the Screming Skull?"
Can they bring peace to "An Unsettled Mind?"
It won't help your Investigators if they've read the Malleux Monstrorum or own their own copy of the core Call of Cthulhu rulebook. There's nothing in those well-thumbed volumes to help them here. In here, they're on their own.

Dockside Dogs
2012
This was supposed to be a simple heist.
A group of well-dressed criminals arrive at a warehouse to rendezvous after pulling off an extraordinary crime. They know each other only by their pseudonyms - Mister Black, Mister Red, Mister Green, Mister Purple, Mister Beige, Mister Silver, Mister Grey.
The plan is simply to sit tight until midnight when someone will arrive to ferry them - and the loot - across the bay to make a final delivery to the boss. Sounds easy, right?
But things take a turn for the weird; strange things happen in and around the warehouse. Things which make the criminals doubt the allegiances of the compatriots, their own sanity, and ultimately the very nature of reality.
It is going to be a long wait for the ferryman.
Dockside Dogs is a one-shot scenario for Call of Cthulhu. Four to six players take on the roles of the well-dressed criminals, hoping against all odds that they will make it through the night.

The unwary go missing in the wilds, the locals say “Pooka”, and shake their heads.Fires are lit on the mountainsides and bones are cast into the flames; a young woman sits in a trance as ectoplasm oozes from her mouth, and she speaks of times-past in a voice that is not her own.
All these things and more are waiting on this Celtic Isle. This is a land of roaring seas, deep lakes, green pastures, barren bogs, and heather-topped mountains.

Terror from the Skies
A Race to Save Humanity from a Dark Future
2012
A Race to Save Humanity from a Dark Future THE LOVECRAFTIAN MYTHOS is populated by many creatures, both singular entities such as Cthulhu and Hastur, and creatures who number in the millions. The shan are an ancient, insect-like alien race fleeing a destroyed homeworld. Forced into a nomadic life they are scattered throughout space. Aeons ago a number of shan arrived on Earth, but certain properties in our sun’s light weakens them. Trapped, these first arrivals fell into idleness and decadence, acting only by seeping into the sleeping minds of human beings. In TERROR FROM THE SKIES, bretheren of those first shan have come to Earth, vigorous and agressive, not yet weakened by our sunlight. Their insidious plan threatens the elimination of the human infestation and the founding of a new shan homeworld.

Cathulhu
Velvet Paws on Cthulhu's Trail
2014
Welcome to Cathulhu, the Call of Cthulhu alternative setting where feline sleuths investigate the horrors of the Cthulhu Mythos.
Cats are mysterious, self-contained creatures. Both wild and domestic in nature, they are silent observers of all that goes on around them.
In Cathulhu, discover the secret life of the cat as a Dreamlands warrior and a Waking World sleuth. Cats are the secret allies of humanity in the fight against cosmic horror; confronting overlooked machinations orchestrated from the sewers, tracking down sorcerers and cultists in the Waking World, and taking the fight to Nyarlathotep’s minions in the Dreamlands with the Cat Armies.
Cathulhu contains full character generation information for creating feline characters, feline abilities, background information on the cult of Bast, a short bestiary of feline opponents and an introductory adventure, ‘The Black Cat’.
Cathulhu is intended as an interlude to mainstream Call of Cthulhu games, and provides a different POV to the horrors of the Cthulhu Mythos. It can be played light-heartedly or seriously. The opponents of the feline investigators can range from dastardly rat-kings or mutant sewer lizards, to lone mad sorcerers, or all the way to a full-blown confrontation with the Cthulhu Mythos.
History
Cathulhu is the English-language version of Katzulhu, which first appeared in the German-language Cthuloide Welten magazine, #1 and #2, in 2001/2002. The Katzulhu rules were reprinted in 2009 to accompany the release of Pegasus spiele’s Dreamlands sourcebook. The Katzulhu rules are currently available for download from this site (search for Katzulhu).
Cathulhu was developed by Ingo Ahrens, Adam Crossingham and Daniel Harms from Ingo’s original Katzulhu, and was published in Worlds of Cthulhu magazine #4 in 2006. This edition is revised from the Worlds of Cthulhu version and includes additional information about Sabbat cats, and the cult of Bast through the ages.
