Contents

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
