==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.

==Comments / Trivia==
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.

Gareth Ryder-Hanrahan is an Irish game designer and novelist who works primarily on [[Role-Playing Games]].

Hanrahan was one of the game designers included in the experimental community connected to the Gaming Outpost. When [[Mongoose Publishing]] pulled their Paranoia writing in-house, it was overseen by Hanrahan. Hanrahan wrote Mongoose's fifth [[RuneQuest]] setting, Hawkmoon: The Roleplaying Game (2007). Hanrahan authored the Traveller Core Rulebook (2008), which managed to outsell RuneQuest and become Mongoose's new #1 game. Hanrahan's 12th-century setting Deus Vult (2010) received new support in RuneQuest II. When Mongoose separated from Rebellion in March 2010, Hanrahan was one of those let go during the resulting layoffs. Hanrahan helped [[Pelgrane Press]] support their GUMSHOE System by producing monthly supplements starting in late 2010. In 2011, Cubicle 7 expanded its staff with industry insiders like Hanrahan, Walt Ciechanowski, Charles Ryan, and Neil Ford.

He is employed as a full-time writer for [[Pelgrane Press]]. He also holds the position of Line Developer for The [[The Laundry (RPG)|Laundry Files]] roleplaying game published by [[Cubicle 7]].

[Fiction]

Hanrahan is the author of the Paranoia novel Reality Optional. He has also contributed short stories to the Stone Skin Press anthologies The Lion and the Aardvark and Schemers.

Tgaitskell: Fixed link

A musician and writer, Keith was born in Detroit, Michigan, in 1949. He first discovered [[H.P. Lovecraft]] via a Ray Bradbury story, "Pillar of Fire," in the early 1960s. Intrigued by an author Bradbury chose to compare to [[Edgar Allan Poe|Poe]], Keith sought out Lovecraft at the local library and read all three of the [[Arkham House]] collections front to back. Lovecraft became his favorite author of horror.

Almost thirty when his family and friends discovered Dungeons & Dragons and a new "hobby" called role playing, he immediately snatched up a copy of Call of Cthulhu when it first showed up on the shelves of his local game store. One trip through the original "The Haunting" scenario and he was hooked.

He made his first submission to [[Chaosium]] in 1983. Over the following years he published nearly fifty scenarios with Chaosium, including the full-length books [[The Fungi from Yuggoth]], [[The Trail of Tsathogghua (Supplement)|Trail of Tsathoggua]], [[Spawn of Azathoth]], [[Arkham Unveiled]], and [[Return to Dunwich]], along with sourcebooks like the original Investigators’ Companions and Keeper’s Compendium. Serving as editor of the line from late 1989 through 1993, he edited and contributed to numerous books, developed the [[Lovecraft Country]] series, and launched the initial line of Cycle fiction.

Fired by Chaosium in 1994 and unable to produce any more CoC material, he free lanced for White Wolf’s World of Darkness producing, among other things, two novels based on WW’s Vampire game. He later toiled in the cyber mines as an editor for Cinescape magazine.

Keith returned to Call of Cthulhu Gaming in 2008, founding [[Miskatonic River Press]] with [[Tom Lynch]], recruiting a number of writers from Keith's period with Chaosium.

Keith [http://www.legacy.com/obituaries/theledger/obituary.aspx?n=keith-herber-doc&pid=125208040 died unexpectedly] due to heart failure on March 13, 2009. He will be missed.
