For those pining for something to help fill the time during a stay at home order or self-isolation, look no further than the free Call of Cthulhu: The Coloring Book (actually it should have been titled “The Coloring Out of Space Book heh… heh…) available from Chaosium Inc. Not only can you score the PDF but you can also take part in a coloring contest as well.
From Chaosium:
Dear members of the Chaosium tribe,
Many of you – like us – may be staying put at home over the coming weeks. We’re all in this together, and to help keep spirits up and minds occupied, the Chaosium team is working on some fun and engaging diversions we can enjoy while staying in, working-from-home, in quarantine, or in self-isolation.
To start things off at #homewithchaosium, we’ve made the Gold ENnie award-winning Call of Cthulhu the Coloring Book available as a free download.
While away the hours in lockdown coloring an amazing array of scenes, with striking images from H.P. Lovecraft’s stories—and the Call of Cthulhu RPG his imagination inspired (Horror on the Orient Express, Masks of Nyarlathotep, The Fungi from Yuggoth and more).
What’s more, we’re going to run a Call of Cthuhu Coloring Competition!
There are 28 eldritch scenes of Lovecraftian horror in Call of Cthulhu the Coloring Book. Colour in any of these pictures and share your work on social media with the hashtag #homewithchaosium.
Use Photoshop or a paint program on your computer, or print off your picture of choice and color it in with pencils, pens, Star Vampire blood, ichor, etc, we don’t mind.
We’ll share your works on our channels and BRP Central for everyone’s delectation. We’ll also pick out some winners! Winners will receive a Chaosium Redbubble Art Board of their own coloring-in masterpiece.
Wishing everyone all the best until the Stars are Right again.
