Cthulhu: Cults of Cthulhu

Call of Cthulhu 7e

In Cults of Cthulhu, we delve into the human side of a dark and horrific world. Where humans twist their minds and souls into crazed shapes to survive the hopeless universe, or seek to find meaning in their fleeting and insignificant lives. We delve into the world of the Cthulhu Cult and those who hear its master’s call.

In the Call of Cthulhu Roleplaying Game there are many people who serve the dark forces of the universe, from sorcerers to cultists, who trade favors with all manner of malignant entities like Nyarlathotep, Hastur, and Shub- Niggurath. But, it is Lovecraft’s seminal tale—the story after which this roleplaying game is named—that paints the picture of an insidious cult. One that has secretly permeated human civilization since before human civilization even existed.

This book attempts to throw open that door and step inside, exploring the intricacies of a Cthulhu Cult and its varying permutations. As a Keeper, writer, or storyteller, this book can be used as a tool to help inspire you to expand on the fiction of Lovecraft and others, to create something totally new, but still rooted in the twisted brambles and sunken seaweed of the Cthulhu Mythos.

Cults of Cthulhu will guide you in the creation of complex and believable antagonists for your scenarios—villains who are more than just faceless, robed minions. Cultists are people too. They have hopes and dreams. They have families and friends. They have loved and been hurt. They are human. They are us. And, these things are what make them the most terrifying threat in all of the Mythos. For they are us, and if they can become the corrupted servants of the Mythos, then so can we.
