Cthulhu Dark

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Average Rating (13 ratings)

Cthulhu Dark is a tabletop roleplaying game of cosmic horror, in the style of H.P. Lovecraft.

It's about the things we fear, amplified until they are unbearable. It's about stories that genuinely creep you out, not well-worn tropes and creatures you've seen hundreds of times before.

And it's about bleak horror, in which humans are powerless when confronted by hyperintelligent alien horrors. You can't beat them. You can't fight them. You can only watch, run, hide and fear.

If you love Cthulhu games already, then this is Lovecraftian horror at its most intense. If you're new to them, then Cthulhu Dark is a great place to start. You'll enter a world of stories that are both terrifying and terribly human.

The rules are incredibly short: they're tightly focussed on horror and they drive the game.

How can I go about publishing content for Cthulhu Dark (such as adventures, scenarios)? Is it even possible?

Hi Tomboi, I know that All Rolled Up in the UK have them. There might be individual stores in the US too.

What a wonderful game! Start a session in less than five minutes, even with RPG beginners... I love it.

A preview of only the ToC, but no rules mechanics, is 100% not helpful as a sales tool.

Please consider expanding the preview to include some rules, maybe a little character generation.

Also, the game is $2 cheaper at your direct web site.

Thanks! I've expanded the preview.

And, yes, there's a small discount if people buy it direct. I think I'll keep that for the moment.

Can you give us some idea of how the mechanics work?

They're really short: have a look at the original two-page version, which you can find here.

What you get in this version is lots of guidance on how to use the rules, write a mystery and so on, plus four settings and scenarios.

This is the full rulebook, which is nearly 200 pages, which formed part of the Kickstarter in 2017.

It's been available on other sites before, but I thought it was time to list it on DriveThruRPG.

Ah I see... I backed the kickstarter. I just didn't want to miss out on anything new. Thanks for the quick reply. :)

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
