Call of Cthulhu: Pulp Cthulhu

Two-Fisted Action Meets Eldritch Horror.

Calling all heroes! It’s time to swap the tweed jackets and nervous breakdowns for tommy guns and psychic powers. Pulp Cthulhu injects high-octane adventure into your Lovecraftian tabletop experience, trading cautious investigation for daring stunts, world-saving escapades, and the kind of pulp action that punches cosmic horror in the face.

This book transforms Call of Cthulhu into a bold new game of pulp-era storytelling. Whether you're battling sinister cults in the streets of 1930s New York or uncovering weird science in the depths of the Amazon, Pulp Cthulhu gives your characters the grit to fight back.
