Cthulhu: Berlin - World Capital of Sin (Hardcover)
Berlin in the 1920s is a city of contrasts. Between political violence, economic hardship, and the scars of the First World War, art, science, and an extravagant nightlife flourish. In smoke-filled cabarets, people dance; in dark back rooms, deals are struck; and on the streets, communists, nationalists, and police fight for control.
But behind the dazzling facade of the metropolis, forces stir that are far older and more dangerous than any political conflict. Cults, supernatural manifestations, and the influences of the Cthulhu Mythos thrive amid decadence, despair, and social upheaval.
Berlin – World Capital of Sin is an extensive sourcebook and adventure volume for the Cthulhu role-playing game. It presents Berlin of the interwar period with its sights, personalities, cabarets, criminal underworlds, and hidden secrets, without getting lost in historical details unnecessary for play. Three fully developed scenarios lead the investigators deep into the dark side of the pulsating metropolis.
The volume received both the Judge’s Award and the People’s Choice Award for “Best Role-Playing Expansion” at the UK Games Expo Awards 2020.
