Cthulhu Dark Ages (Call of Cthulhu) Hardcover – July 20, 2020

Love it I and my wife will be playing it soon

When you walk into a Lovecraftian mystery and you're only three foot tall and weighing about 100 kilos, you start to question your life choices. But I threw caution to the wind here, and by golly I'm glad I did.Thrust into the dark ages of *checks notes* En-gel-and, in the 10th century, you're forced to face down otherworkdly horrors that would threaten the whole world. Recommend you bring a sharp sword, a torch, and a blessing from your priests, because you're not getting out of this one sane.

Does a great job invoking the horror of dark nights and knights in foreboding woods and a moonlit moor. Great if your players are not into modern the 1920s setting.

Thanks guy. Everything came on time and in good shape.

This book was the perfect complement to my Call of Cthulhu collection and it arrived perfect and on time. I am so glad that I purchased this book.

This was a tough review to write if for no other reasons than I wanted to like this book so much. There are no written reviews at the time of this writing but the book averages 5 stars.I want to start with the positives.The book is gorgeous and it is well written. There is a ton of history here for Britain as well. Which is nice to set up a campaign or scenario there.Unfortunately this is also a negative since a huge portion of the book is dedicated to Just Britain then that means there’s little room for France or other parts of Europe.The other negative I have is with the I ntegrating of the mythos into the dark ages and is tied to one of the scenarios included that tie the main villian to “The Testament of Solomon” and it is a demon. This has nothing to do with the mythos. The testament of Solomon was a complete work of fiction but there is no link there. I could see how some of npcs or monks would think a mythos monster was a demon but putting an actual demon monster in the scenario pulls people straight out of the call of Cthulhu headspace.As a Christian, I normally don’t use demons in my games (although I’ve used Balors in DND) but not named ones anyway. I know the book isn’t geared toward me (nothing is really) but just strictly from a Lovecraft perspective this scenario makes no sense.This book has a lot going for it in terms of quality but it also has quite a few issues as well. Maybe it’s not what I was looking for or thought it was but maybe the name should be Horror in Britain in the Dark Ages.
