 ''Cthulhu Live: Lost Souls'' introduces new rules, skills and character templates to support live-action roleplaying in this grim shadow world. Essays and articles examine the psychology and motivation of cults, while the dozens of cult and society profiles offer a wealth of new roleplaying options. In cooperation with Pagan Publishing and the Delta Green partnership, Lost Souls includes profiles of Delta Green, the Karotechia, and new organizations suitable for play in Delta Green campaigns. The expanse of cult and society information makes ''Lost Souls'' more than just a Cthulhu Live supplement, but an invaluable sourcebook for Chaosium's ''Call of Cthulhu'' roleplaying game, as well as other table-top and live-action horror role-playing games on the market.

-The second sourcebook for Cthulhu Live, Lost Souls takes the game into new depths of nightmare. Expanding the revenant character concept introduced in ''Cthulhu Live: Shades of Gray'', the ''Lost Souls'' supplement focuses on the ongoing struggle between light and darkness within every human soul. Dozens of depraved cults and veiled societies are detailed for roleplaying, including traditional favorites from Lovecraft's fiction as well as many new sects and organizations.
+''Nights they would wake us, after long days of working among the wheat and the cattle, and we would follow silently into the plain black barn in the center of the fallow south field. Elder Thomas would draw open the iron doors set in the floor, his hard farmer's muscles belying his 77 years, and Elder Isham would move quickly down the steps to light the pale green witch-lamps that showed the way into the earth. My playmates and I would follow at Elder Thomas' nod, walking at attention, each of us doing our best to make the Elders proud. Marching into the earth, where the Mothers and Fathers waiting to kiss us.''
-Player characters can opt to be willing servants of the Great Old Ones, searching for personal power or abjectly worshipping these eldritch nightmares as they fight to maintain a thin facade of normalcy to conceal their madness and the darkness of their souls. Other players may be members of the veiled societies, initiated into the true nature of the universe, and desperately fighting the Great Old Ones and their human servants to hold back the inevitable apocalypse.
+From the incarnate madness of the Church of the Yellow Sign to the psychopathic ritual killers of the Mund-Caprice Family, LOST SOULS gives you everything you need to run a live-action horror campaign exploring the black rituals and foul agendas of Mythos cults and conspiracies. The book includes guidelines for creating and role-playing "revenants," the mad servants of the Mythos, as well as extensive source Material for over two-dozen cults and secret societies. LOST SOULS also offers information on the shadow organizations that battle the Mythos cults on their own dark terms, including Delta Green and the Catholic Church's Brotherhood of Sleep.

This volume extends the Cthulhu Live rule-set with several new mechanics, and additionally provides source material applicable to running games in either the 1920s or modern day.

In particular, this book adds the notions of "Revenants" and "Facade" (mechanics for describing characters with zero SAN, and their ability to
blend in with normal society). It also adds the idea of "Mythos Proficiencies" as a way of describing particular sub-sets of the Mythos that
a character has familiarity with (rather than relying on the Cthulhu Mythos skill to cover this under a single percentile score).

The book is organized in chapters:
* Chapter One: Introduction,
* Chapter Two: Revenant Characters,
* Chapter Three: Playing Revenants,
* Chapter Four: Secret Histories,
* Chapter Five: Veiled Societies.

'''Scenarios:''' contains no scenarios/scripts
