Description
Cthulhu Bay is a bold reimagining of investigative horror, blending the timeless dread of the Cthulhu Mythos with sharp, modern storytelling mechanics. Drawing inspiration from pulp horror classics like Weird Tales and built on streamlined systems influenced by The Cthulhu Hack and Brindlewood Bay, this RPG delivers a fresh, dynamic approach to confronting the unknowable.
Presented in a classic 'zine format, Cthulhu Bay features intuitive yet inventive rules that immerse players in mysterious, narrative-driven investigations—called Tales. There are no fixed conclusions here. As players gather Clues and piece together strange happenings, they craft their own interpretations and shape distinct, player-driven endings for every story.
The core manual includes all you need to get started, from rules and guidance for running sessions to tools for building eerie, unforgettable experiences.
To spark your imagination, Cthulhu Bay comes with four ready-to-play Tales that span time and space: from the icy desolation of 1930s Greenland to a haunted monastery in medieval Europe; from a secluded 17th-century Karelian village to a faraway, alien world wrapped in mystery.
Cthulhu Bay isn’t just a game—it’s a portal into cosmic fear, where every answer only leads to deeper questions.
