Back Cover Text
Fragments of Fear
Contents
- Call of Cthulhu Questions Answered -- Why does it take so long to read a Mythos tome? Why can't my investigator get 'used to' seeing common types of monsters? How do I learn a language in Call of Cthulhu? Must my character lose multiple Sanity for seeing multiple monsters?
- The Ubiquity of Cthulhu -- Working from the notes of brave Dr. Phileus P. Sadowsky (deceased), William Hamblin assembles ancient linguistic traces of the dread Cthulhu cult.
- A Cthulhu Grimoire -- Working summaries of all the spells from supplements Shadows of Yog-Sothoth, The Asylum, Cthulhu Companion, The Fungi From Yuggoth, Curse of the Cthonians, Trail of Tsathoggua, Masks of Nyarlathotep, and Fragments of Fear. Indispensible to keepers; deservedly horrifying to peeping players.
- Scenario -- The Underground Menace -- Earthquakes hammer a hamlet in northern Michigan, but the townsfolk refuse to talk about the matter.
- 4-page Centerfold -- Size-comparison silhouettes of selected Mythos deities, entities, monsters, species. See how big Great Cthulhu really is!
- New Deities -- Several new gods (and their servants) from the Mythos writings of Arkham House author J. Ramsay Campbell.
- Scenario -- The Hidden Valley -- a dangerous quest leads the intrepid investigators into the 'heart of darkness' of the Belgian Congo jungles. This adventure may take several sessions to complete.
- More -- Model Ritual Curses, Innsmouth Street Map, a poem by H.P. Lovecraft, Mundane Animals from several continents, Sandy Petersen's introduction.
