Perhaps one of the greatest role playing campaigns of all time, for any RPG, is making a return! Masks of Nyarlathotep is now available once again from Chaosium in an all new edition. As Elliott, his nephew Paul, and our friend Ed will attest Masks of Nyarlathotep is an epic adventure to challenge even the most jaded of investigators. I know when I ran the original, back in the day, the campaign took around six months to complete – even with two or three solid six plus hour play sessions a week! The softcover is $34.95 and a limited print run hardcover is now available for $44.95 while the PDF can be had at RPGNow for $19.45.

If you’re a fan of Lovecraftian horror, MoN is a must have! No joke. I’m serious people!

From Chaosium:

Perilous Adventures to Thwart the Dark God

At last, the stars are almost right!

Soon Nyarlathotep’s plans will come to fruition. Then the world will be changed irrevocably—but not quite yet. Pesky human investigators have learned much, but they must survive long enough to make sense of what they know, and take resolute action.

This roleplaying classic is a series of linked adventures forming one long and unforgettable Call of Cthulhu campaign. Horrifying deeds and dangerous sorcery dog those who dare attempt to unravel the fate of the Carlyle Expedition. The non-linear narrative keeps players baffled and on their toes. Action is the byword as the player-characters evade or combat cultists, magic, mad men, and the dread powers of the Outer Gods.

Masks of Nyarlathotep is a Lovecraftian exercise in horror and mystery. Set in 1925, adventures begin in New York, then move overseas to England, Egypt, Kenya Colony, Shanghai, and western Australia. Such extended globetrotting requires wit and planning by the players. Their investigators must have steady finances, good language skills, and a willingness to persevere despite governmental interference and cultist harassment. Meanwhile the keeper must bring to life different exotic locales, recreate the sensibilities of other cultures, and balance non-player-character foes and friends to allow each investigator to earn his or her own destiny—ultimate triumph, perhaps, or perhaps madness and agonizing death.

Masks of Nyarlathotep received a Best Roleplaying Adventure award by the Academy of Adventure Gaming Arts & Design.
