About This Site

Cthulhu Rising - Horror Roleplaying in a Dark Future was first devised in 1999 by John Ossoway, as an alternate campaign setting for Call of Cthulhu. It was inspired by lots of things, many of which are mentioned over on the acknowledgements page. Feel free to download the rules and print them out for personal use. Cthulhu Rising has been published by Chaosium as part of their MULA Monograph series.

As stated on the home page, this website is dedicated to providing source material and supplemental rules which hopefully will allow Keepers running the Call of Cthulhu © roleplaying game to run a science-fiction campaign set almost 300 years into humanity's future, by which time interstellar travel has become a reality. The site is split into three parts, and each section is accessible via the main site navigation. The three sections are:

1. The Site

This section contains general website stuff - latest news and news archives, contact information, acknowledgements, useful links, access to the site forums...

2. The Game

This section contains the basic game rules needed for running Cthulhu Rising using the Call of Cthulhu/BRP rules. You will find an introduction to the game, plus rules for generating Cthulhu Rising Investigators, as well as information on the equipment and weapons that will aid them in combating dark cults.

3. The Setting

This section of the site endeavours to provide an overview of the Cthulhu Rising universe, enabling Keepers to create and run a science fiction campaign set in the late 23rd Century. It is a work in progress, and is continually being expanded.

Any queries/suggestions, you can either contact me direct, or visit the site forums - the users a friendly bunch.

I hope you have as much fun playing Cthulhu Rising as my group and I do!
