There is, in the state of Massachusetts, a valley along a river called the Miskatonic. It is shunned by its neighbors, for its towns are the focus of many dark legends. Dream-filled Kingsport, decadent Dunwich, tiny Falcon Point, witch haunted Arkham, and ruined Innsmouth are all spoken of only in whispers lest one be overheard. Few realize that the whispered legends of the Miskatonic Valley hide truths more sinister yet. Within this book you will find five adventures running the length of the Miskatonic Valley. Investigators can visit Arkham, Bolton, Dunwich, Falcon Point, Kingsport, and even the Dreamlands. Ancient temples, degenerate deep ones, strange disappearances, and a murderous sorcerer are just some of the perils travelers will face. This supplement is part of our Lovecraft Country series of gamebooks, which feature background and adventures in Lovecraft's Miskatonic Valley.

Dunwich is a small village located along the Miskatonic, upriver from Arkham. Until 1806, Dunwich was a thriving community, boasting many mills and the powerful Whateley family. Those among the Whateleys came to know dark secrets about the world, and they fell into the worship of unwholesome creatures from other times and places. Retreating to the hills and forests surrounding the town, they betrayed their uncorrupted kin. Prosperity fled, and a dark despair seized the people. What remains is a skeleton town, mills closed, its citizens without hope or future. However, secrets of the Mythos survive, to be discovered by brave and enterprising investigators. H. P. Lovecraft's Dunwich begins with "The Dunwich Horror, " Lovecraft's masterful tale of life in the town and its surroundings. It expands upon the story with extensive information about the town: pertinent buildings, useful people, and important locations are described in detail. A 17X22" map depicts the area for miles around, and two scenarios are included. All statistics and gameplay notes for d20 Cthulhu are also provided.

Nearly every town and village in the Miskatonic Valley has its own shadowy past, and many of these places are still plagued by sinister revenants of those dark days. Yet new mysteries also appear with uncanny regularity. It would seem that Lovecraft Country will always be a haunted landscape. Dead Reckonings is an anthology of Call of Cthulhu scenarios set in Howard Lovecraft's haunted New England. Set in Arkham, Dunwich, and the small village of Martin's Beach, these adventures span the spectrum of terror. Herein the dead walk, shadowy cults clash with monstrous forces, and an abomination waits to be reborn into something even worse. Return to Lovecraft Country!

[CALL OF CTHULHU ROLEPLAYING] "Arkham Now" updates to modern times the famous and fabled city of Arkham for the "Call of Cthulhu" roleplaying game. Most residents believe there is only one horror lurking in this legendary haunted town -- the urban sprawl slowly eroding Arkham's old New England beauty. Rushing by neon signs and mega-marts on a quest to obtain even more material possessions, no one has time to notice the more disturbing, underlying qualities of the city -- the grotesque vegetation sprouting in some places, the sometimes-odd taste from the reservoir's drinking water, the disturbingly high rate of birth defects, and the too-frequent child abductions.
