A GLOBAL CAMPAIGN TO SAVE MANKIND!

The Silver Twilight is an international organization dedicated to the destruction of the human race. As brave Investigators, you must piece together passages from esoteric books, shards of ancient artifacts, and puzzling letters to discover the Silver Twilight's loathsome goals. This multi-chapter adventure begins in Boston and spans the globe. The Investigators must survive and conquer the mind-shattering monsters and minions of the Cthulhu Mythos. Come, journey through awesome realms of reality, and match your wits and sanity against diabolical lurkers in SHADOWS OF YOG-SOTHOTH!

This scenario book includes three new adventures for the CALL OF CTHULHU role-playing game. SHADOWS OF YOG-SOTHOTH is a seven-chapter tale of horror and suspense. Also included are two bonus scenarios: one is suitable for beginners and the other is perfect for experienced Investigators. Eight pages of Player Information include corrections and additions to the CALL OF CTHULHU rules and a very special centerfold!

Second Edition

The Rise of forgotten R'lyeh. Cthulhu sleeps in the corpse city of R'lyeh. Through unblinking eyes he watches mountains grow and empires rise and fall. He lays quiet, unmoving. Now he stirs. He senses that the stars are right once again converging into their proper formations. His Worshipers have plotted for the day when their might lord once again walks the earth. That day has come!

Shadows of Yog-Sothoth presents a grand seven-part campaign, revealing details of the Silver Twilight, an international organisation dedicated to forcing the premature rise of R'lyeh and the release of the dread Cthulhu.
