Cthulhu: Masks of Nyarlathotep

The epic and globe-spanning campaign

A gruesome plan has unfolded. Should it succeed, it could possibly destroy the very nature of humanity forever. But not all is lost yet. A few brave souls may gather certain fragments of information and piece them together, may stand against the encroaching darkness, and perhaps prevent the unspeakable from coming to pass.

In the face of sinister cults, strange lore, terrifying monsters, and a host of relentless enemies, the investigators set out on a journey of discovery to confront the ultimate horror. This is their story. And you are the ones who tell it!

This classic series of interconnected adventures forms an unforgettable campaign. In the prologue, set in Peru in 1921, the investigators are introduced to Jackson Elias, a charming author whose investigations uncover a sinister plot. In the end, the investigators follow the trail of the mysterious Carlyle Expedition by uncovering clues in New York in 1925 that lead them overseas—to England, Egypt, Kenya, Western Australia, and China. With enemies around every corner, the road is fraught with danger.

Award-winning
In 2019, the original English campaign, which has seen numerous editions, was honored by the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts & Design with the coveted ENnie Award in the “Best Adventure” category. It has been newly translated for this edition.
