Product Description

Book Description

A New Call of Cthulhu Roleplaying Game.

The Dark Ages world is filled with life, death, and the pain of old age. Vengeful hordes wash across the world. Petty warlords fight among themselves like ravenous dogs. Disease runs rampant. Illiterate city-folk and simple farmers dread that which lurks in the dark. And in the greatest abbeys, a few know of forbidden books that speak of blasphemy and of those who would destroy the world of god-fearing men and women.

"The living close the eyes of the dead, but it is the dead that open the eyes of the living." — Old Slavic saying

950 A.D.— The Byzantine Theodorus Philetas translates the al-Azif into Greek and renames it the Necronomicon. It will be more than a century before this blasphemous tome is finally condemned, and most copies destroyed.

During these hundred years, when manuscript copies of the Necronomicon covertly pass from hand to hand, mankind almost yields to the uncaring forces of the Cthulhu Mythos. The dark young of Shub-Niggurath infest the boundless forests, mi-go guard mountain passes, ghouls and miri-nigri haunt forgotten burial grounds, and deep ones plague coastal settlements.

In this world the last magi explore powers not meant for humans, and are lured to into the abode of Yog-Sothoth.

CTHULHU DARK AGES is a complete roleplaying game, using the intuitive and flexible Basic Roleplaying System also used in our Call of Cthulhu game. If you know how to play one, you can play the other.

CTHULHU DARK AGES presents the era of the Dark Ages (c. 1000 A.D.) and the continuing threat posed by denizens of the Cthulhu Mythos as described by H. P. Lovecraft, the Lovecraft circle of writers, and the works of Chaosium Inc.

By Stéphane Gesbert; Illustrated by Stéphane Gesbert, Andy Hopp, et. al.; Cover by Francois Launet. 176 pages, illustrated, indexed. 8.5 x 11" perfect binding, paperback.

5.0 out of 5 stars Dark Deeds in the Dark Ages, 19 Aug 2004
I have been a player of Call of Cthulhu since the late 80's, and still manage to get the creeps when a great new scenario is played. I first came across Cthulhu Dark Ages from it's German website a few years ago, when it was known as Cthulhu 1000AD. It was still under development at that time, and we had to wait what seemed like endless aeons for each little advancement, but it was always worth the wait. This volume pushes the Cthulhu Mythos back in time to the first millenium in Europe, and could there be a more fitting time for it to be set? If you have played the more popular 1920's version, you will already know what a fulfilling game CoC is, and this book adds a whole new dimension to it. The basic gameplay and rules are the same, but obviously there are ammendments to fit the different timescale. I have run the included scenarios to great success, and it very much brings to mind the stories of Brother Cadfael, or the film The Name of the Rose in the general feel and setting, involving mostly monks, clerics etc. as the basis of an adventure. Obviously, though there are darker schemes afoot! This is an excellent addition to the Coc universe, and I would very much recommend it to any Keeper or Investigator who wants to try something a little different. It would seem from the Chaosium website that there will be further supplements to be released in the near future, so I suggest that you get ahead of the rest and buy this now, as the stars are definitely right!
