[[Image:Cthulhu Britannica London - Contents.jpg|thumb|''Box Contents'']]

London in the 1920s is the greatest city in the world, a vibrant melting pot of history and culture at the heart of the British Empire. But underneath the powerhouse of the City lie millennia of history, from the well-documented paths of Roman Londinium to darker antediluvian secrets veiled from modern eyes. Londonsits atop its history: an ancient swampland that was itself once an even-more-ancient sea-bed. Who knows what secrets lie buried?

The Cthulhu Britannica: London boxed set comprises three books: The Investigator's Guide to London, The Keeper's Guide to London and Adventures in Mythos London.

* The Investigator’s Guide to London is a comprehensive guide to the capital in the 1920s. It contains, amongst other things, information on public transport, the bustling party scene, the people and a whole lot about the places investigators might go in the course of your adventures. Great for both players and Keepers alike, and packed full of maps and beautiful artwork.

* The Keeper’s Guide to London contains ideas for running Call of Cthulhu adventures set in London, including new cults and Mythos threats, advice for capturing the unique feel of the city, a ready-made private club devoted to investigating the weird and wonderful, and a whole swathe of NPCs and plot hooks that you can use in your own games.

* Adventures in Mythos London includes three complete, standalone adventures set in the capital city: [[Terror on the Thames]], by Peter Wright, which has the investigators caught up in a night to remember on a boat trip down the river; [[Those Poor Souls Who Dwell in Light]], by Paul Fricker, which concerns the sins of Reverend Leigh, a vicar who has come into possession of a potent artefact; and [[The Non-Euclidean Gate]], by Mark A. Latham, which is all about what happens when seven pages from one of John Dee’s notebooks turns up unexpectedly on the open market.

The box also contains:
* six loose sheets of handouts
* four poster maps

Yog-Sothoth.com

2021-08-28T08:17:03Z

PoC: /* Sixth Generation 2018-Present */

Yog-Sothoth.com (aka 'YSDC') is a web site dedicated to [[Chaosium]]'s game ''[[Call of Cthulhu role-playing game|Call of Cthulhu]]'': roleplaying in the worlds of [[H.P. Lovecraft]].

'''[[YSDC:Current events|Current Events]]'''

The Yog-Sothoth.com domain name was first registered on 16th June 1998 and the 1st generation web site set up immediately afterward. There were two primary reasons why the name Yog-Sothoth was chosen:

#Cthulhu.com was already taken.
#[[Yog-Sothoth]] was the favourite [[H.P. Lovecraft|Lovecraftian]] [[Outer God]] of the registrant ([[Paul of Cthulhu]])

== First Generation 1998-2001 ==
[[Image:ysdc-version-1.jpg|thumb|Yog-Sothoth.com 1st Generation in the traditional 'Blackground' style...]]
The 1st generation of the site featured a very typical black background beloved of many Lovecraft and ''Call of Cthulhu'' related web sites. It featured flat HTML pages, large banners, animated GIFs and Macromedia Flash. A joy a design freedom, luckily it was not all bad. The 1st generation site also featured streaming audio recordings and the early versions of the ''Call of Cthulhu Bibliography'' (now named the ''[[Call of Cthulhu Collector's List]]''). This document aimed to compile as complete a list as possible of ''[[Call of Cthulhu role-playing game|Call of Cthulhu]]'' English language rules and supplements.

The site also featured 'Holiday Snaps' of ''CoC'' related entities, along with an incoming 'Live Typed' transmission from [[Delta Green]].

== Second Generation 2001-2002 ==
[[Image:ysdc-version-2.jpg|thumb|Yog-Sothoth.com 2nd Generation in cosmic green...]]
By the Summer of 2001 while new material and development of the ''[[Call of Cthulhu Collector's List]]'' was ongoing, the webmaster wished to try new techniques to deliver information in a more engaging and vibrant style. Hence on 13th November 2001 (the 20th Anniversary of ''Call of Cthulhu'') the 2nd generation site was launched in all its green profundity. The new site was driven by server-side delivery of component page parts, called on request to build the page. Navigation was both by a left hand column list and dynamic menus across the top. The 2nd generation also saw the installation of discussion forums and marked the first interaction with [[Sandy Petersen]] the author of ''Call of Cthulhu''.

The site expanded to hold interviews, more images, downloads and the first instance of the what is today known as the ''Call of Cthulhu Product Database''. The Product Database being a dynamic, searchable database of ''Call of Cthulhu'' materials found in the ''[[Collector's List|Call of Cthulhu Collector's List]]''.

As the site continued to grow it became apparent that the particular site implementation did not scale well, as templates for new pages still had to be created each time. While visiting other web sites it became clear that new Open Source Content Management Systems (CMS) had become available that allowed more time to be moved from design to content production. At the end of 2002 this led to another complete revision and Yog-Sothoth.com's 3rd generation.

== Third Generation 2002-2010 ==
[[Image:ysdc-version-3.gif|thumb|Yog-Sothoth.com 3rd Generation, a little easier on the eye...]]
The 31st December 2002 saw the site move away from the 'cosmic green' incarnation and into its present form, a dymanic database driven content amangement system. April 2003 saw the re-introduction of the forums and marked the re-establishment of the YSDC community on the site.

== Fourth Generation 2010-2013 ==
[[Image:Ysdc-fourth-generation-front-page-screenshot.jpg|thumb|Yog-Sothoth.com 4th Generation, more modern software.]]
The third generation site software became outdated and eventually obsolete that meant a front-end software change was needed after eight years. YSDC "4G" was a large step forward in usability and function while using a similar colour scheme to the third generation site.

== Fifth Generation 2013-2018 ==
[[Image:ysdc-version-5.jpg|thumb|Yog-Sothoth.com 5th Generation.]]
While the fourth generation front-end software was perfectly usable, the software providers "next gen" platform was considered unfavourable so a side-grade to a competing platform was undertaken in August 2013. This is the software that YSDC currently runs on.

Since 2003 Yog-Sothoth.com has continued in a similar manner, providing news, downloads, forums and searchable databases, including a [http://www.yog-sothoth.com/players Players' Directory] to help people find other players of the game. The site has also expanded its remit to include not only the [[Call of Cthulhu role-playing game]] but also other Lovecraftian-inspired games and materials.

The site is run and maintained by 5 [[Yog-Sothoth.com Staff]] and contributors who all volunteer their own time and energies to help make the site a resource for people interested in ''Call of Cthulhu'' and [[H.P. Lovecraft]].

Today the site features more than 1,000 downloadable resources, including Game Audio Recordings and the [[Yog Radio]] [[Podcasting|Podcast]].

== Sixth Generation 2018-Present ==
[[Image:ysdc-version-6.jpg|thumb|Yog-Sothoth.com 6th Generation.]]
The 20th birthday of the site (June 2018) saw a major upgrade to a newer version of the existing software. The update allowed better commerce features and forum and download facilities. The web site moved over to a full secure SSL (https) system.

In June 2019 Yog-Sothoth became part of the "[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deep_web Deep Web]" with member-only access to enhance user privacy and provide extra security facilities.

== YSDC Patron Scheme ==
In September 2006, Yog-Sothoth.com instigated a [[YSDC Patron Scheme]] in order to help keep the site online after recent increased costs due to server moves and growing popularity.

Some pages have been categorized for "cleanup" - at this time, these are mostly just blank "stubs" waiting for some detail to flesh them out. Many such pages are for monsters - you can help improve the wiki by adding some detail to such pages such as descriptions, quotes, "keeper notes" (for suggested ways to use the monster or other element in a game or fan fiction), and organizing the pages by applying a style guide where appropriate. (A tip for the monster pages: posting a "Monster Make-Over" discussion about the monster in the YSDC forums is typically a great way to "crowd-source" information, ideas, and suggestions for monsters!)

One Night: Cthulhu Mega Adventure

2021-01-14T17:12:18Z

PoC:

''One Night''' was a proposed "mega-adventure" supplement for [[Call of Cthulhu (RPG)|Call of Cthulhu]]. An advertisement appeared in the 1989 Summer Product List from Chaosium, seeking confirmation of interest in the product. It was planned to include cassette tape audio clues, artefacts and physical clues for the adventure.

[[File:One-night-advert-1989.gif]]

There were apparently two reasons why the product never appeared, the first being a lacklustre response from potential customers. Moreover, because of the "Satanic" scare in roleplaying at the time, there was concern within the industry that a product containing cult paraphernalia would cause further outcry. ([https://www.yog-sothoth.com/forums/topic/821-query-about-one-night-product/?tab=comments#comment-8480 Ben Monroe's explanation)]

===Synopsis===
[[File:Corbitthouse plan.png|150px|thumb|Right|Corbitt House, alternate floor plan.]]
{{spoiler|
The investigators are called to look into an old house where a series of tragedies have occurred. The most recent tenants, the Macario family, went violently insane and reported haunting by a sinister presence. The landlord of the house has no idea what is happening, but wants the rumours put to rest.

The source of the tragedies is an early resident, Walter Corbitt, who was secretly buried in the basement. He was a member of a Mythos cult, the "Chapel of Contemplation and Church of Our Lord Granter of Secrets". Despite protestations and legal action from neighbours, his final wishes were carried out and he was interred under his house. He is slowly transforming into an undead monstrosity, though not one that complies with any particular legends. Corbitt has been using his magical talents to leech energy from the inhabitants of the house, but his main desire is to keep anyone from learning his secret and to kill or drive insane anyone who discovers him. He uses his powers to mislead and bewilder trespassers, and sometimes to kill them.

Various archives report a series of tragedies in the house across many years, involving madness, death, illness and injury. These are the source of its reputation, and almost certainly due to Corbitt's influence. They also report Corbitt's burial, the objections, and the dubious history of the Chapel of Contemplation.

The Chapel of Contemplation was shut down by police in a violent raid, after claims of kidnapping. The event was hushed up despite numerous deaths, and most of those arrested were mysteriously released, apparently because of corrupt intervention by an official. The Pastor escaped prison and was never recaptured. The ruins of the Chapel contain a mysterious symbol that disturbs investigators; two skeletons; cult records indicating Corbitt's burial was decreed by some sinister entity ("that one who waits in the dark"); and a rotting copy of the ''Book of Eibon'' called ''Liber Ivonis''. By default, none of these people or items play any further part in the scenario - they are intended instead as plot hooks for keepers to write additional scenarios.

The old house is abandoned, though old junk and some of the family's belongings are still there, including rotting food and personal items, and many Catholic symbols. The doors are heavily locked and the windows nailed shut. Corbitt's diaries are locked in a cupboard, and describe his occult experiments, as well as the spell ''Summon/Bind Dimensional Shambler''. Corbitt's old bedroom is a focus for his power, and he can manipulate items here to attract, distract and attack visitors. Rickety stairs lead to the basement, which seems empty. The main basement also holds a ritual knife, which Corbitt telekinetically controls to attack investigators. A wooden wall conceals a second basement, where Corbitt lies hidden, as well as a pack of rats.

Corbitt has some awareness of what is happening in the house. As well as manipulating items in the bedroom, he can use magic to dominate and control investigators, ward himself, and even summon a Dimensional Shambler. If disturbed, he can reanimate his body to confront the intruders.

Lovecraft's Kingsport]]''.

===Comments===
Trivia: According the the 5th Edition core rule-book, more people have played The Haunting than any other, and it has been included with the game since the beginning. It has appeared in most versions of the game since the earliest editions, when it was called "The Haunted House". (One of the exceptions is [[D20 Call of Cthulhu]]).

Trivia: As part of the 7th Edition Call of Cthulhu Kickstarter project, Mike Mason and Charlie Krank used “The Haunting” as the basis for a serialized story, one new entry for each day of the project. The story is included in the 7th Edition Call of Cthulhu quick-start rules as an example of how the scenario can vary depending on what the investigators choose to do.

===Keeper Comments===
The scenario officially includes the [[Book of Eibon|Liber Ivonis]], though a damaged copy. It isn't necessary to the story, and can easily be removed or ignored for a scenario that's supernatural rather than Lovecraftian. It was apparently written as an optional element ([http://www.yog-sothoth.com/topic/11507-that-damn-haunting/ Sandy Petersen]). The [[Dimensional Shambler]] is frequently omitted, but in a supernatural game could represent some other monster.

The [http://www.yog-sothoth.com/files/file/595-call-of-cthulhu-6e-quick-start-rules/ 6th Edition] quick-start rules included some optional plot hooks, but these were omitted from the 7th Edition quick-start rules. For Keepers wishing to make use of them, the hooks are:
* (Marcario Family at the [[Roxbury Sanitarium]]) While at the sanitarium, the investigators learn that the Macarios’ doctor is out of town. Filling in for him is a visiting doctor from [[Arkham Sanitarium]], [[Doctor Hardstrom]]. While speaking with the investigators, Doctor Hardstrom mentions that he has a similarly traumatized patient at Arkham Sanitarium. The keeper should note that this is an adventure hook that leads to the Chaosium supplement Arkham ([[Adventures in Arkham Country|CHA 2342]]).
* ([[Boston Globe]] Clippings Morgue) While investigators are prowling through the clippings morgue, they discover a clipping that describes a raid that took place on the Congregational Church in Kingsport, 1731. Although this event is unrelated, the similarity should attract the investigators’ attention. The keeper should note this information leads to an adventure in the Chaosium Supplement [[H.P. Lovecraft's Kingsport|Kingsport]] ([[H.P. Lovecraft's Kingsport|CHA 8804]]).
* (Ground Floor Room 1) Also located in this room is a book about demonology. The title is faded and indiscernable, but the majority of the pages remain legible. Several of the pages are dog-eared in a section about the [[Hermetic Order of the Silver Twilight|Knights of the Silver Twilight]]. The keeper should note that this leads to an adventure in Chaosium’s supplement [[Shadows of Yog-Sothoth]] ([[Shadows of Yog-Sothoth|CHA 2397]]).
* (Ground Floor Room 4) On the wall in this room is a bizarre painting (no other description provided). Investigators who observe it feel inexplicably unsettled. The artist’s name is [[Nelson Blakeley]]. The keeper should note that this picture leads to an [[Pickman%27s_Student|adventure]] in Chaosium’s supplement [[H.P. Lovecraft's Dreamlands]].
* (Upstairs Room 3) Snooping investigators will find a business card inside one of the dresser drawers. It bears the name of [[Doctor Henry Armitage]], and on the back is a telephone number. The keeper should note that this leads to an [[Return to Dunwich|adventure]] in Chaosium’s supplement [[H.P. Lovecraft's Dunwich|Dunwich]] ([[H.P. Lovecraft's Dunwich|CHA 8802]]).

The [http://www.yog-sothoth.com/files/file/595-call-of-cthulhu-6e-quick-start-rules/ 6th Edition] quick-start rules also included as a reward a +1 Power pendant: "Around Corbitt's neck is a black gem fastened on a chain. If the stone is fished out of his dust by an investigator, the stone dissolves in the investigator's hand and adds 1 POW to his characteristic. This magical stone helped fuel Corbitt's undead might." This artefact was deleted from the 7th Edition Quick-Start Rules, leaving behind only the reference "some sort of chain rests around [the lich's] neck", which suggested to some readers that the lich was mysteriously chained up in the basement, an interpretation that an inventive keeper can use to provide an interesting variation on the story: who chained Corbitt's body chained up in the basement, and why? (This creepy interpretation is discussed in the YSDC forums [http://www.yog-sothoth.com/topic/29229-the-haunting-spoiler-alert-players-dont-read/ here].)

====Troubleshooting====
Some alternative options to library research and other alternatives from the standard scenario were offered in a YSDC forum discussion ([http://www.yog-sothoth.com/topic/30616-the-haunting-lets-just-go-to-the-house/ link]):
* Changes to the investigator plot-hook:
** The exact location of the house has been lost! The investigators will need to do some research to actually get to the house.
** Rather than investigating a haunted house, the investigators might instead be hired to find the dagger, with the trail of clues eventually leading to the house.
** The investigators might be hired to provide a detailed history of the house for a curious and eccentric new owner, a collector of haunted houses, as part of their investigation.
** The investigators might be hired to debunk the haunting, with research suggested as a way to gather information to debunk the haunting with.
** Gangster/Criminal characters might be hired to "case the joint", looking for valuables and suitability for a hide-out, site for a criminal enterprise, source of "protection" income, etc.
** Law enforcement might conduct a "stake out" and search of the house for signs of criminal activity.
** Whoever hires the investigators, perhaps a mentor/lead investigator who will not be in the house whom the investigators report to, can provide important clues at the same time. Provide a short, dramatic description of the history of the house and its haunting, as described by the quest-giver, at the beginning of the scenario, during character creation perhaps, hand the clues summarized by this history directly to the investigators, and start the scenario immediately with the group arriving at the house.
** "I usually start the Haunting with a séance in the house itself, with the assumption that some of the PCs/attendees will be skeptics, others will be psychical researcher types, and the medium may or may not be a charlatan. If the medium is genuine, then you have the option of Corbitt (temporarily?) possessing them; if the medium is a charlatan, Corbitt may manifest some gruesome phenomena (blood from the crushed rats in the ceiling, for example) and get the ball rolling." - [https://www.yog-sothoth.com/forums/topic/32471-spicing-and-following-up-on-the-haunting/?do=findComment&comment=343358 The_Tatterdemalion_King]
* Chapel of Contemplation cult:
** Clues can be moved from external libraries into Corbitt's diary, scrapbook style, with a suggestion to move the diary (and any tomes from the Chapel of Contemplation) to the Corbitt House attic or basement, or alternatively to move the ruin of the Chapel of Contemplation onto the Corbitt property and place the diary/scrapbook there.
** Optionally, place clues in the diary or in the ''Liber Ivonis'' to indicate that the dagger is Corbitt's only weakness, so that it's impossible to kill Corbitt through blind, dumb luck. Corbitt might not directly interact with the players until they obtain this clue, or the dagger.
* Atmosphere and mood:
** Dial up the haunting aspect with creepy, cinematic "[[whammies]]" (evidence of hauntings, such as strange figures waving from windows, creepy moving dolls, cold spots, etc.) This seems to encourage the investigators to be more cautious....
* Alternative source of clues:
** In a modern setting, investigators can always be encouraged to look up information on cell phones / tablets / etc. on the trip to the house, or while at the house.
** Whoever hires the investigators can provide important clues at the same time. Provide a short, dramatic description of the history of the house and its haunting, as described by the quest-giver, at the beginning of the scenario, during character creation perhaps, hand the clues summarized by this history directly to the investigators, and start the scenario immediately with the group arriving at the house.
** Just have the group choose a lead investigator and one or more official researchers, and assume that they have done the basic research from the beginning, dividing the clues between them as appropriate.
** Begin the investigation in the house with a seance.
** Ghosts and psychic impressions and visions can provide a few clues that would otherwise be gained through interviews with former occupants of the home. (These visions and apparitions can be some fairly atmospheric and attention-getting ways to provide vital clues!) See "[[whammies]]" for ideas.
** Instead of libraries and so on, clues can be provided in diaries, scrapbooks, tape recordings, film strips, and so on hidden in the haunted house where investigators can find them.
** Veiled clues, backstories and legends, and ominous warnings can be provided by weird and eccentric neighbors, locals, creepy old guys/kids/deformed imbeciles/hoboes/whatever met in the neighborhood, outside the property, or even in the grounds or house itself.
** See "[[Haunted House and Cabin In The Woods Tropes]]" for some additional ideas.
* Adaptations to alternative settings:
** Modern: The cast of a "Ghost Hunters" style TV show investigate a haunting as part of their documentary series.
** Modern: A group of college kids are helping their best friend out with renovating her first house... it should be a lot of fun, but something seems to be wrong with the house...
** [[Cthulhu Dark Ages]]: The Church commissions a group of investigators to explore and exorcise a haunting in an abandoned castle on a disputed border, so that the castle can be occupied and the border defended as quickly as possible.
** [[Weird World War]]: In war-torn WWII Europe, a team of Allied specialists find more than they bargained for when they search an [[The Bunker (2001 film)|abandoned bunker]] for intelligence that German officers may have left behind in the short time they occupied the [[Deathwatch (2002 film)|labyrinthine tunnels]] of the [[Outpost (2008 franchise)|creepy underground fort]], built partly into the ruins of a far older structure.
** Cold War: The NKVD or KGB has assigned the investigators to infiltrate a house in the independent country of Ruritania and set it up as a base for a communist cell there in preparation for the coming glorious Ruritanian Revolution... the investigators have all the training they need as saboteurs, spies, infiltrators, propagandists, and more, all the spy gadgets they need to install in the house, and an enthusiastic support for the Cause... what could go wrong?
** The 1970s: The new owners of the [[The Shining (1980 film)|Corbitt Hotel]], a luxury hotel with a long and sordid history and connections to criminal and occult organizations in a remote and uninviting location, hire the investigators to spend the winter season snowed into the hotel, renovating it and investigating disturbing reports from guests about [[Whammies|strange things seen]] within the twisted hallways of the hotel's eccentric construction; the owners have gathered papers and confusing blueprints relating to the hotel, stacks of newspapers stashed in the basement by former caretakers contain other clues, and the investigators get to stay alone in a luxury hotel with all expenses paid for a scenic winter vacation while they work and follow the clues to the revelation that the investigators do not walk alone within the walls of the Corbitt hotel....
** Criminals and Gangsters: A gang of crooks occupy an abandoned mansion near a bank vault in preparation for the perfect crime... it shouldn't hurt to have a look around for a few "souvenirs", should it?
** [[Cthulhu Icarus]]: The ''Corbitt'', an [[Event Horizon (1997 film)|experimental star ship]] that disappeared without a trace when testing an experimental hyperspace drive in some gods-forsaken corner of the Solar System, suddenly re-appears without explanation after transmitting a disturbing and distorted message, and the investigators are sent out to retrieve the ship's black box and find out what happened....
** [[Weird West]]: Something strange is going down at the old Corbitt mine, closed under mysterious circumstances during the American Civil War. A group of intrepid war veterans, prospectors, gunslingers, drifters, and other western adventurers are hired to find out what is happening, and fix it, so the mine can be re-opened....
** [[Cyberpunk]]: A corporation hires investigators to "sanitize" a "legacy virtual reality asset acquired in a recent merger" for public consumption, one in which a handful of company engineers and hackers have disappeared, died, or gone mad; the virtual reality space might (as an expedient) resemble an old dark house in the woods, but could look like pretty much anything that you like (virtual reality being what it is). The investigators' research before entering the virtual world and what they find after entering it reveal that the eccentric developer, long vanished, had been delving into some sinister things while programming the virtual environment, and the investigators are not alone in there....

===Comments===
Trivia: According the the 5th Edition core rule-book, more people have played The Haunting than any other, and it has been included with the game since the beginning. It has appeared in most versions of the game since the earliest editions, when it was called "The Haunted House". (One of the exceptions is [[D20 Call of Cthulhu]]).

Trivia: As part of the 7th Edition Call of Cthulhu Kickstarter project, Mike Mason and Charlie Krank used “The Haunting” as the basis for a serialized story, one new entry for each day of the project. The story is included in the 7th Edition Call of Cthulhu quick-start rules as an example of how the scenario can vary depending on what the investigators choose to do.

===Keeper Comments===
The scenario officially includes the [[Book of Eibon|Liber Ivonis]], though a damaged copy. It isn't necessary to the story, and can easily be removed or ignored for a scenario that's supernatural rather than Lovecraftian. It was apparently written as an optional element ([http://www.yog-sothoth.com/topic/11507-that-damn-haunting/ Sandy Petersen]). The [[Dimensional Shambler]] is frequently omitted, but in a supernatural game could represent some other monster.

The [http://www.yog-sothoth.com/files/file/595-call-of-cthulhu-6e-quick-start-rules/ 6th Edition] quick-start rules included some optional plot hooks, but these were omitted from the 7th Edition quick-start rules. For Keepers wishing to make use of them, the hooks are:
* (Marcario Family at the [[Roxbury Sanitarium]]) While at the sanitarium, the investigators learn that the Macarios’ doctor is out of town. Filling in for him is a visiting doctor from [[Arkham Sanitarium]], [[Doctor Hardstrom]]. While speaking with the investigators, Doctor Hardstrom mentions that he has a similarly traumatized patient at Arkham Sanitarium. The keeper should note that this is an adventure hook that leads to the Chaosium supplement Arkham ([[Adventures in Arkham Country|CHA 2342]]).
* ([[Boston Globe]] Clippings Morgue) While investigators are prowling through the clippings morgue, they discover a clipping that describes a raid that took place on the Congregational Church in Kingsport, 1731. Although this event is unrelated, the similarity should attract the investigators’ attention. The keeper should note this information leads to an adventure in the Chaosium Supplement [[H.P. Lovecraft's Kingsport|Kingsport]] ([[H.P. Lovecraft's Kingsport|CHA 8804]]).
* (Ground Floor Room 1) Also located in this room is a book about demonology. The title is faded and indiscernable, but the majority of the pages remain legible. Several of the pages are dog-eared in a section about the [[Hermetic Order of the Silver Twilight|Knights of the Silver Twilight]]. The keeper should note that this leads to an adventure in Chaosium’s supplement [[Shadows of Yog-Sothoth]] ([[Shadows of Yog-Sothoth|CHA 2397]]).
* (Ground Floor Room 4) On the wall in this room is a bizarre painting (no other description provided). Investigators who observe it feel inexplicably unsettled. The artist’s name is [[Nelson Blakeley]]. The keeper should note that this picture leads to an [[Pickman%27s_Student|adventure]] in Chaosium’s supplement [[H.P. Lovecraft's Dreamlands]].
* (Upstairs Room 3) Snooping investigators will find a business card inside one of the dresser drawers. It bears the name of [[Doctor Henry Armitage]], and on the back is a telephone number. The keeper should note that this leads to an [[Return to Dunwich|adventure]] in Chaosium’s supplement [[H.P. Lovecraft's Dunwich|Dunwich]] ([[H.P. Lovecraft's Dunwich|CHA 8802]]).

The [http://www.yog-sothoth.com/files/file/595-call-of-cthulhu-6e-quick-start-rules/ 6th Edition] quick-start rules also included as a reward a +1 Power pendant: "Around Corbitt's neck is a black gem fastened on a chain. If the stone is fished out of his dust by an investigator, the stone dissolves in the investigator's hand and adds 1 POW to his characteristic. This magical stone helped fuel Corbitt's undead might." This artefact was deleted from the 7th Edition Quick-Start Rules, leaving behind only the reference "some sort of chain rests around [the lich's] neck", which suggested to some readers that the lich was mysteriously chained up in the basement, an interpretation that an inventive keeper can use to provide an interesting variation on the story: who chained Corbitt's body chained up in the basement, and why? (This creepy interpretation is discussed in the YSDC forums [http://www.yog-sothoth.com/topic/29229-the-haunting-spoiler-alert-players-dont-read/ here].)

====Troubleshooting====
Some alternative options to library research and other alternatives from the standard scenario were offered in a YSDC forum discussion ([http://www.yog-sothoth.com/topic/30616-the-haunting-lets-just-go-to-the-house/ link]):
* Changes to the investigator plot-hook:
** The exact location of the house has been lost! The investigators will need to do some research to actually get to the house.
** Rather than investigating a haunted house, the investigators might instead be hired to find the dagger, with the trail of clues eventually leading to the house.
** The investigators might be hired to provide a detailed history of the house for a curious and eccentric new owner, a collector of haunted houses, as part of their investigation.
** The investigators might be hired to debunk the haunting, with research suggested as a way to gather information to debunk the haunting with.
** Gangster/Criminal characters might be hired to "case the joint", looking for valuables and suitability for a hide-out, site for a criminal enterprise, source of "protection" income, etc.
** Law enforcement might conduct a "stake out" and search of the house for signs of criminal activity.
** Whoever hires the investigators, perhaps a mentor/lead investigator who will not be in the house whom the investigators report to, can provide important clues at the same time. Provide a short, dramatic description of the history of the house and its haunting, as described by the quest-giver, at the beginning of the scenario, during character creation perhaps, hand the clues summarized by this history directly to the investigators, and start the scenario immediately with the group arriving at the house.
** "I usually start the Haunting with a séance in the house itself, with the assumption that some of the PCs/attendees will be skeptics, others will be psychical researcher types, and the medium may or may not be a charlatan. If the medium is genuine, then you have the option of Corbitt (temporarily?) possessing them; if the medium is a charlatan, Corbitt may manifest some gruesome phenomena (blood from the crushed rats in the ceiling, for example) and get the ball rolling." - [https://www.yog-sothoth.com/forums/topic/32471-spicing-and-following-up-on-the-haunting/?do=findComment&comment=343358 The_Tatterdemalion_King]
* Chapel of Contemplation cult:
** Clues can be moved from external libraries into Corbitt's diary, scrapbook style, with a suggestion to move the diary (and any tomes from the Chapel of Contemplation) to the Corbitt House attic or basement, or alternatively to move the ruin of the Chapel of Contemplation onto the Corbitt property and place the diary/scrapbook there.
** Optionally, place clues in the diary or in the ''Liber Ivonis'' to indicate that the dagger is Corbitt's only weakness, so that it's impossible to kill Corbitt through blind, dumb luck. Corbitt might not directly interact with the players until they obtain this clue, or the dagger.
* Atmosphere and mood:
** Dial up the haunting aspect with creepy, cinematic "[[whammies]]" (evidence of hauntings, such as strange figures waving from windows, creepy moving dolls, cold spots, etc.) This seems to encourage the investigators to be more cautious....
* Alternative source of clues:
** In a modern setting, investigators can always be encouraged to look up information on cell phones / tablets / etc. on the trip to the house, or while at the house.
** Whoever hires the investigators can provide important clues at the same time. Provide a short, dramatic description of the history of the house and its haunting, as described by the quest-giver, at the beginning of the scenario, during character creation perhaps, hand the clues summarized by this history directly to the investigators, and start the scenario immediately with the group arriving at the house.
** Just have the group choose a lead investigator and one or more official researchers, and assume that they have done the basic research from the beginning, dividing the clues between them as appropriate.
** Begin the investigation in the house with a seance.
** Ghosts and psychic impressions and visions can provide a few clues that would otherwise be gained through interviews with former occupants of the home. (These visions and apparitions can be some fairly atmospheric and attention-getting ways to provide vital clues!) See "[[whammies]]" for ideas.
** Instead of libraries and so on, clues can be provided in diaries, scrapbooks, tape recordings, film strips, and so on hidden in the haunted house where investigators can find them.
** Veiled clues, backstories and legends, and ominous warnings can be provided by weird and eccentric neighbors, locals, creepy old guys/kids/deformed imbeciles/hoboes/whatever met in the neighborhood, outside the property, or even in the grounds or house itself.
** See "[[Haunted House and Cabin In The Woods Tropes]]" for some additional ideas.
* Adaptations to alternative settings:
** Modern: The cast of a "Ghost Hunters" style TV show investigate a haunting as part of their documentary series.
** Modern: A group of college kids are helping their best friend out with renovating her first house... it should be a lot of fun, but something seems to be wrong with the house...
** [[Cthulhu Dark Ages]]: The Church commissions a group of investigators to explore and exorcise a haunting in an abandoned castle on a disputed border, so that the castle can be occupied and the border defended as quickly as possible.
** [[Weird World War]]: In war-torn WWII Europe, a team of Allied specialists find more than they bargained for when they search an [[The Bunker (2001 film)|abandoned bunker]] for intelligence that German officers may have left behind in the short time they occupied the [[Deathwatch (2002 film)|labyrinthine tunnels]] of the [[Outpost (2008 franchise)|creepy underground fort]], built partly into the ruins of a far older structure.
** Cold War: The NKVD or KGB has assigned the investigators to infiltrate a house in the independent country of Ruritania and set it up as a base for a communist cell there in preparation for the coming glorious Ruritanian Revolution... the investigators have all the training they need as saboteurs, spies, infiltrators, propagandists, and more, all the spy gadgets they need to install in the house, and an enthusiastic support for the Cause... what could go wrong?
** The 1970s: The new owners of the [[The Shining (1980 film)|Corbitt Hotel]], a luxury hotel with a long and sordid history and connections to criminal and occult organizations in a remote and uninviting location, hire the investigators to spend the winter season snowed into the hotel, renovating it and investigating disturbing reports from guests about [[Whammies|strange things seen]] within the twisted hallways of the hotel's eccentric construction; the owners have gathered papers and confusing blueprints relating to the hotel, stacks of newspapers stashed in the basement by former caretakers contain other clues, and the investigators get to stay alone in a luxury hotel with all expenses paid for a scenic winter vacation while they work and follow the clues to the revelation that the investigators do not walk alone within the walls of the Corbitt hotel....
** Criminals and Gangsters: A gang of crooks occupy an abandoned mansion near a bank vault in preparation for the perfect crime... it shouldn't hurt to have a look around for a few "souvenirs", should it?
** [[Cthulhu Icarus]]: The ''Corbitt'', an [[Event Horizon (1997 film)|experimental star ship]] that disappeared without a trace when testing an experimental hyperspace drive in some gods-forsaken corner of the Solar System, suddenly re-appears without explanation after transmitting a disturbing and distorted message, and the investigators are sent out to retrieve the ship's black box and find out what happened....
** [[Weird West]]: Something strange is going down at the old Corbitt mine, closed under mysterious circumstances during the American Civil War. A group of intrepid war veterans, prospectors, gunslingers, drifters, and other western adventurers are hired to find out what is happening, and fix it, so the mine can be re-opened....
** [[Cyberpunk]]: A corporation hires investigators to "sanitize" a "legacy virtual reality asset acquired in a recent merger" for public consumption, one in which a handful of company engineers and hackers have disappeared, died, or gone mad; the virtual reality space might (as an expedient) resemble an old dark house in the woods, but could look like pretty much anything that you like (virtual reality being what it is). The investigators' research before entering the virtual world and what they find after entering it reveal that the eccentric developer, long vanished, had been delving into some sinister things while programming the virtual environment, and the investigators are not alone in there....

==1st Edition Front Cover Text==
For Call of Cthulhu 1920s

Travel in Splendor via the Simplon Route in a Luxury Campaign

==1st Edition Back Cover Text==
'''Man Dies Three Times in One Night!'''

A puzzling headline begins a front-page article found in the ''Times'' of London. Three men, all identical in identification, were found dead in the same room of the Chelsea Arms. All were dispatched in a similar manner - stabbed through the heart.

Then the home of a valued friend burns to the ground, severely burning him in the process. An odd summons, a surreptitious meeting, and a thousand-mile journey begins on the legendary rail service carrying the investigators to the Gateway of the Orient.

'''Orient Express''' contains a massive adventure for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game. Beginning in 1920s London, the investigators journey to Paris and thence to the ancient city of Constantinople. With luck, they also return home. Four books are contained within, ''Through the Alps, Italy & Eastern Europe, Constantinople & Return,'' and ''Strangers on the Train''. In addition there are numerous player handouts: a European route map; luggage stickers; scrolls; passports; 25mm cardstock plans of the train that can be laid end-to-end; and fragments of an ancient artifact collected along the way.

'' "What does it all amount to anyway? In a few million years there will be no human race at all. Man, at best, is but an incident -- and a very trifling incident -- in the limitless history of Nature. I am inclined to think that all entity evolves in cycles -- that sooner or later everything occurs practically all over again. Not that all details are necessarily alike -- but that general forms and principles are repeated. Planets are born, die and are born again -- and so on without end." ''

''-- H.P. Lovecraft''

Cthulhu and its supplements have won dozens of best-of-class gaming awards. Editions include French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish.

==2nd Edition Front Cover Text==
A luxury campaign spanning the European continent

==2nd Edition Back Cover Text==
'''MAN DIES THREE TIMES IN ONE NIGHT!'''

A puzzling headline begins a front-page article found in the ''Times'' of London. Three men, all identical in identification, were found dead in the same room of the Chelsea Arms Hotel. All were dispatched in a similar manner - stabbed through the heart.

Then the home of a valued friend burns to the ground, severely burning him in the process. An odd summons, a surreptitious meeting, and a thousand-mile journey begins on the legendary rail service carrying the investigators to Constantinople, the Gateway of the Orient.

HORROR ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS contains a massive and legendary campaign, of up to nineteen adventures, for the ''Call of Cthulhu'' roleplaying game. Beginning in 1920s London, the investigators journey to Paris and thence to the ancient city of Constantinople. With luck, they also return home.

Optional episodes are set in ancient times or special places (Roman-era, Dark Ages, Gaslight-era, the Dreamlands), so that players can experience the founding, creation, and discovery of crucial elements of this campaign. Also included is a modern-day coda to the storyline, an alternate ending for those wishing a shorter campaign, and a built-in survival guide to aid beleaguered investigators.

Six perfect-bound books and more are contained within this box, the ''Campaign Book'' (72 pages), ''Through the Alps'' (264 pages), ''Italy & Beyond'' (272 pages), ''Constantinople & Consequences'' (192 pages), ''Strangers on the Train'' (96 pages), and the 48-page ''The Traveler's Companion''. In addition, there is a book of handouts for the investigators, a European Route Map, three era-inspired luggage stickers, two era-inspired postcards, a matchbox, the Scroll of the Head, four U.S. passports, a bumper sticker, six pages of train plans that can be laid end-to-end, the die-cut Mims Sahis ceremonial knife, and die-cut fragments of the Sedefkar Simulacrum collected along the journey.

== Comments / Trivia ==
Featuring [[the Brothers of the Skin]], this is a classic campaign and the last boxed set produced by Chaosium to date. Chapter X - In a City of Bells and Towers (Dream Zagreb) - was written by [[Mark Morrison]] in an attempt to capture in scenario form the work of author [[Thomas Ligotti]]. A previous version of this Scenario was published in the British CoC fanzine [[DAGON (Magazine)|DAGON]].

Although the first edition of the campaign features actual text from Ligotti (by way of a series of handouts found scattered around Dream Zagreb), the second edition removes these elements and replaces them with newly-written content.

Winner of the 1991 Origins Award for Best Graphic Presentation and Best Role Playing Adventure. The majority of authors on this book are Australians, mostly based in Melbourne. [[Penelope Love]] must enjoy gondolas - see also the entry for [[Abhoth Omnipotens]].

This campaign has spawned a soundtrack CD; a recorded "actual play" rendition by the Bradford Players has achieved significant notoriety and has even been novelised.

The second edition of this campaign was funded via a highly succesful Kickstarter campaign in late 2012. Many of the additional chapters and add-on items of ephemera were added as "stretch goals" were reached.

==1st Edition Front Cover Text==
For Call of Cthulhu 1920s

Travel in Splendor via the Simplon Route in a Luxury Campaign

==1st Edition Back Cover Text==
'''Man Dies Three Times in One Night!'''

A puzzling headline begins a front-page article found in the ''Times'' of London. Three men, all identical in identification, were found dead in the same room of the Chelsea Arms. All were dispatched in a similar manner - stabbed through the heart.

Then the home of a valued friend burns to the ground, severely burning him in the process. An odd summons, a surreptitious meeting, and a thousand-mile journey begins on the legendary rail service carrying the investigators to the Gateway of the Orient.

'''Orient Express''' contains a massive adventure for the Call of Cthulhu roleplaying game. Beginning in 1920s London, the investigators journey to Paris and thence to the ancient city of Constantinople. With luck, they also return home. Four books are contained within, ''Through the Alps, Italy & Eastern Europe, Constantinople & Return,'' and ''Strangers on the Train''. In addition there are numerous player handouts: a European route map; luggage stickers; scrolls; passports; 25mm cardstock plans of the train that can be laid end-to-end; and fragments of an ancient artifact collected along the way.

'' "What does it all amount to anyway? In a few million years there will be no human race at all. Man, at best, is but an incident -- and a very trifling incident -- in the limitless history of Nature. I am inclined to think that all entity evolves in cycles -- that sooner or later everything occurs practically all over again. Not that all details are necessarily alike -- but that general forms and principles are repeated. Planets are born, die and are born again -- and so on without end." ''

''-- H.P. Lovecraft''

Cthulhu and its supplements have won dozens of best-of-class gaming awards. Editions include French, German, Italian, Japanese and Spanish.

'''MAN DIES THREE TIMES IN ONE NIGHT!'''

A puzzling headline begins a front-page article found in the ''Times'' of London. Three men, all identical in identification, were found dead in the same room of the Chelsea Arms Hotel. All were dispatched in a similar manner - stabbed through the heart.

Then the home of a valued friend burns to the ground, severely burning him in the process. An odd summons, a surreptitious meeting, and a thousand-mile journey begins on the legendary rail service carrying the investigators to Constantinople, the Gateway of the Orient.

HORROR ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS contains a massive and legendary campaign, of up to nineteen adventures, for the ''Call of Cthulhu'' roleplaying game. Beginning in 1920s London, the investigators journey to Paris and thence to the ancient city of Constantinople. With luck, they also return home.

Optional episodes are set in ancient times or special places (Roman-era, Dark Ages, Gaslight-era, the Dreamlands), so that players can experience the founding, creation, and discovery of crucial elements of this campaign. Also included is a modern-day coda to the storyline, an alternate ending for those wishing a shorter campaign, and a built-in survival guide to aid beleaguered investigators.

Six perfect-bound books and more are contained within this box, the ''Campaign Book'' (72 pages), ''Through the Alps'' (264 pages), ''Italy & Beyond'' (272 pages), ''Constantinople & Consequences'' (192 pages), ''Strangers on the Train'' (96 pages), and the 48-page ''The Traveler's Companion''. In addition, there is a book of handouts for the investigators, a European Route Map, three era-inspired luggage stickers, two era-inspired postcards, a matchbox, the Scroll of the Head, four U.S. passports, a bumper sticker, six pages of train plans that can be laid end-to-end, the die-cut Mims Sahis ceremonial knife, and die-cut fragments of the Sedefkar Simulacrum collected along the journey.

== Comments / Trivia ==
Featuring [[the Brothers of the Skin]], this is a classic campaign and the last boxed set produced by Chaosium to date. Chapter X - In a City of Bells and Towers (Dream Zagreb) - was written by [[Mark Morrison]] in an attempt to capture in scenario form the work of author [[Thomas Ligotti]]. A previous version of this Scenario was published in the British CoC fanzine [[DAGON (Magazine)|DAGON]].

Although the first edition of the campaign features actual text from Ligotti (by way of a series of handouts found scattered around Dream Zagreb), the second edition removes these elements and replaces them with newly-written content.

Winner of the 1991 Origins Award for Best Graphic Presentation and Best Role Playing Adventure. The majority of authors on this book are Australians, mostly based in Melbourne. [[Penelope Love]] must enjoy gondolas - see also the entry for [[Abhoth Omnipotens]].

This campaign has spawned a soundtrack CD; a recorded "actual play" rendition by the Bradford Players has achieved significant notoriety and has even been novelised.

The second edition of this campaign was funded via a highly succesful Kickstarter campaign in late 2012. Many of the additional chapters and add-on items of ephemera were added as "stretch goals" were reached.

==Contents==

The forces of fascism have overwhelmed Europe. Britain fights on desperately, and every man and woman must do what is necessary to avoid defeat.

In forgotten corners, darkness stirs. The cycles of the ancient god-things are measured in millennia, but those who serve them plot to take advantage of the chaos of conflict to advance their own schemes.

For an unlucky few, the war collides with evils out of time, and they see and learn things that humanity is ill-prepared to encounter. The truly unlucky survive, and come to the attention of a certain spymaster, code letter N, who has plans for them.

Pressed into service with British intelligence, they are thrown into a desperate two-front war against the Axis forces and the insidious menace of the Cthulhu Mythos.

War brings chaos, fear and disruption in its wake. The perfect conditions in which terrible things can thrive, full of new opportunities for ancient beings and their degenerate human agents. But some people know the truth, and they find themselves fighting a war on two fronts for humanity’s soul -- and its very survival.

''World War Cthulhu: The Darkest Hour'' is a new World War Two setting for ''Call of Cthulhu'' and requires the ''Call of Cthulhu'' rulebook to play. It contains full rules for character creation and wartime activities, extensive background on the setting, a scenario and an epic campaign.

'''Campaign/Scenarios:''' The book includes a lengthy sandbox-style setting and campaign frame called [[The God in the Woods (Campaign)]]. The frame doesn't specify "scenarios" as such but includes many ideas, characters and encounters useful for running a lengthy investigation set in a medieval French village on the fringe of Nazi-occupied territory.

World War Cthulhu is a series of settings for the Call of Cthulhu RPG, initially covering World War Two, followed by World War One, The Cold War and World War Three.

Despite the fact that both "World War Cthulhu" and "Achtung! Cthulhu" have been created as World War II settings for Call of Cthulhu, the two approach the setting in a very different way. The setting included in this book focusses more on investigation and espionage on the fringes of conflict areas, while Acthung! Cthulhu adopts a far pulpier, action-oriented approach.

Map piece

2020-06-02T09:44:52Z

PoC:

One of the clues to the [[Murder of Augustus Darcy]] is a map of London marked with mysterious symbols and lines. The map has been cut into sections and circles have been cut out of the various sections. At the centre of the circles is a tube station and on each circle is a mysterious symbol.

Two types of circle have been discovered so far. One type bears a phrase from [http://hermetic.com/enochia/calls.html The Enochian Calls] used by Dr Dee and later Aleister Crowley (who appears in the [[Liber Fumo de Frater Vigilo|Liber Fumo]]. These are a sequence of angelic summonings which refer to cataclysms and a day of judgement. The others bear the name of an Aethyr, angelic presences mentioned in much of Crowley's writing and particularly [http://hermetic.com/crowley/libers/Liber418.pdf Liber 418]. The list of each Call and Aethyr is below, there are 18 Calls or Keys and 30 Aethyr.

As yet there no connections has been determined between the Aethyr and the stations they sit upon or the Aethyr and the Calls to which they are connected. It seems likely that the Aethyr represent gates or sites of power which the different calls will awaken. Considering the apocalyptic nature of the Calls it would seem that someone of some group is attempting to awaken a significant power beneath London. This is probably linked to the [http://www.caerleon.net/history/geoffrey/Prophecy1.htm Prophecies of Merlin] mentioned in the [[Liber Fumo de Frater Vigilo|Liber Fumo]] and seemingly connected to the magical war that is hinted at in the entries. This is currently speculation based on hints in the Liber and the text of the Calls. More of the map may be neccessary to determine the nature of the connections between stations, Aethyr and Calls. The idea of a mystical power linked across London by its buildings and locations is not a new one. After the Great Fire the naturalist, bibliophile, Royalist and scientist [http://www.bl.uk/onlinegallery/features/evelynnotes.html Sir John Evelyn] offered a plan for the rebuilding of London which was based on the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kabbalah Kabbalah]. This plan is mentioned on the very first pages of Darcy's Guide and may well have inspired the magical plot.

At this moment there is one other piece which is not a circle but is still part of the overall pattern. This part shows the [[City of London Map Piece|City of London]].

Although many of the cutout sections located to-date fall outside the boundaries of the three known map sections, an attempt has been made to construct a digital composite which reunites the map sections and the cutout sections within them.

==Tasks for Everyone!==
These are the major TODOs. You can help by completing them yourself!

===In Need of Reorganisation===
The following pages need to be broken down into component pages and categorized properly.
* [[Cthulhu Mythos]]
* [[Cthulhu]]
* [[H.P. Lovecraft]]
* [[CoC:Supplements]]

===Propose Additional [[:Category:Style Guides|Style Guides]]===
See [[:Category:Style Guides|the Style Guides pages]]. Go to [[Template Ideas]] and post what you think is essential information for each Writer, Artist, Book, Magazine (a list of adventures, dates), Game, Adventure/Scenario (a reference to each book/magazine it shows up in), etc.

===Handle Trivial / Confusing Pages; Help With Cleanup===
See the list of [[:Category:Confusing Pages]] for more details about confusing pages. If you come across any pages of this description then please categorize them like this so others can have a go at organizing them.

Some pages have been categorized for "cleanup" - at this time, these are mostly just blank "stubs" waiting for some detail to flesh them out. Many such pages are for monsters - you can help improve the wiki by adding some detail to such pages such as descriptions, quotes, "keeper notes" (for suggested ways to use the monster or other element in a game or fan fiction), and organizing the pages by applying a style guide where appropriate. (A tip for the monster pages: posting a "Monster Make-Over" discussion about the monster in the YSDC forums is typically a great way to "crowd-source" information, ideas, and suggestions for monsters!) The list of pages for cleanup can be found here: [[:Category:Wiki_Cleanup]]

===Consider Sub-Categorization of CoC:Supplements?===
See [[:Category:CoC:Supplements]] and determine if we need a category for Sourcebooks, Rules, Scenario Compilations, Campaign Books, Monographs, or not. '''[[Talk:Main_Page#CoC:Supplements or Not?|Discuss here.]]'''

===Be Wise, Categorize!===
There are very few uncategorized pages left. [[Special:Uncategorizedpages|Click here to see all uncategorized pages]].
