Welcome to the CthulhuWiki
The CthulhuWiki (aka 'Wikithulhu') is an information resource relating to 20th Century Horror and Weird Fiction writer H.P. Lovecraft and works inspired by his writings, including the Cthulhu Mythos, the Call of Cthulhu role-playing game by Chaosium and the Yog-Sothoth.com web site.
Wikis live off user contributions. Something in the Yog-Sothoth.com forums needs preserving or writing up? Then why not preserve it here? Always wanted to write an entry about your favourite Call of Cthulhu supplement? Now you can.
An article a day? A week? A month? Whatever your timetable, help build the CthulhuWiki into a resource for yourself and other Lovecraft and Call of Cthulhu fans...

There are very few uncategorized pages left. Click here to see all uncategorized pages.
Create a Homebrew Section
Add a section for people to add their own campaign ideas. Some sort of "homebrew/fan-invention" contributions category. A "non-canon" category. Maybe it should be called "Non-Canon" or something. DISCUSS HERE.
